Army of Two First Overview

So this is one of the highly anticipated games for me early this year. I bought it, and beat it the first day I got it, honestly if your thinking I just sat on my xbox for several hours straight I honestly didn''t. A good day of playing can easily beat this 6 mission game. Thats when i unlocked Professional and yea...it's alot tougher, and personally your AI partner just won't do the trick here.
Single Player
Not gonna lie it's pretty easy, but if your not playing with a friends good luck, when you go down and need to be healed. I wouldn't be prepared to rely on your AI partner. The game has a big replayable aspect to it tho, esspecialy if you want to upgrade and max out all of your weapons. If your looking for achivements...again your looking to play the game 4 times, and at least once with a human partner and another time with an AI partner.
CO OP
Definately the recommended game type to play in this game, not many games are made specifically made to be cooperativ, but this one ... truely u need an army of two. Its alot funner and alot easier to communicate with your partner when he isn't AI. I'm sure everyone will agree with me on that one. The AI can get frusterating in this game. But there is one reason why I have only been playing with AI, I want all the achiements for this game and alot of them require you to kill things with a certain weapon. Per mission i'd say I get about 100 kills and my AI partner will get aorund 20. If iI played with a human partner guaranteed it'll be 50/50. Not too good for killing achievements. but im sure ill be playing CO OP once I get all the achievments.
Multiplayer
While most people are thinking this game is based souly around its co op campaign, it has a great multiplayer. Its not just two on two, well it is, but there are a bunch of AI in the multiplayer level as well trying to shoot yout to throw you off, or sometimes even down you. You have to stick together with your partner or guaranteed you will lose. You will be given objectives, either assassinate a target AI in the level. Destory target objectives (a team will normally defend and one will attack) Or even rescuing an injured hostage. Anyways the team that does an objective during the game gets cash, and there is a time limit to each objective. The army of two with the most cash when time is up is victorious. Another achivement that will have you playing alot of multiplayer (to get 1 billion dollars overtime) Id say thats aournd a good 100 games.
The Good
While the achievements should give you a while to play the game, and the multiplayer has neverending amounts of fun to get all of your weapons unlocked. The game i'd say is prabobly one of the best Cooperative games ive ever played. If you want a real challenge though, I suggest trying to beat the campaign with the AI partner on professional.
the Bad
Your AI partner isn't the smartest cookie, and it has a very quick single player campaign. Another thing is that the online is REGION LOCKED. Only playing people inside your region, but you won't be getting partnered up with a person from china. Although he might be good, good luck communicating.
Overall
I give this game a 7.5 while it has a great coop the game lacks in a longer campaign, and im wondeing if there will be any point to play this game anymore after you've unlocked everything.
