This game is not mind blowing or anything, but it's a really fun coop game for sure. I love the dialog because you can tell the team had fun writing it
Daredevil 1.5 That’s awesome. My son and I have some good co-op memories but never played this one together. Maybe I’ll break it out since he’s home for the summer.
Same. I remember when my dad bought me AOT and we beat it together then when the 40th day came out we rented it from gamefly and beat that together. So many good memories
Man, I seriously miss couch Co-Op games like this, Army of Two is a real gem of the bargain bin. I'll never forget the game informer review calling it below average.
One of my favorite games purely from the times spent with my older brother, felt like this game was made for us. Add in satisfying kills and cool personalization and we had endless fun.
Thanks you so much for reviewing this. I love these games to death and it’s so great to see other people talking about them. They don’t get talked about often
@@rickyslick1575 Should be on PSN store or Xbox live store, theres a free DLC that was sponsored by some vehicle company that adds 2-3 new missions which the final mission is an alternative ending to the game.
Good to see someone taling about this game, me and my brother played the shit outta this game back in the day The gun customization in the first and second games was amazing
I rented Army of Two back in the day and had fun with it. Years later, I found a copy for dirt cheap at a Goodwill’s and now I finally own it. Really like it as an 80’s action movie type shooter. Over the top and goofy, but fun because of it.
Really reminds me of Kane & Lynch series. I wonder if K&L and Two Armies developers collaborate together to make new game franchises improved upon their previous products
Quite a coincidence both 1st entries take place across varied locations then both sequels take place strictly in Shanghai. Righteous tho, I'm a big fan of both.
You nailed the essence of the game well, fantastic footage & comprehensive commentary! I own & have enjoyed all 3 in the series, only playing them solo, I love the mechanics & style of this unique action shooter. I would really savor your review of all 3 games in the franchise my friend.
Nice, TDC was my favorite, despite it not having much Salem and Rios. That's probably why i loved the story so much, it got dark and suprised me in the end. Also, more customization and kickass masks. Nice review, looking forward to seeing what you guys think of the others. ✌
The online servers for this were shut down in like, 2011 or something. Since you can only play this coop locally now, the single player is the only other option. Was thinking of actually installing this on Xbone since its in the EA Access program.
I'd love to see this made as a looter shooter with the option to play solo, like if you have lots of agro you become a tank with bullet time for a while, or if stealthy you become invisible. or grab someone from an LFG app or something lol
my good friend and I played through this game probably close to 20 times. We had a lot of fun with it, though maybe not for the reasons most would. It surprised me to hear you say you didn't encounter any bugs, because we would see some new kind of bug almost every time we'd play it. Whether it was as simple as a wonky ragdoll, or parts of the missions failing to trigger, or the dead enemies that are actually alive and doing a kind of weird guppy thing with their mouths... Whatever the bug was, or whether or not it was game breaking, they were all hilarious. We'd constantly be laughing at either the poor writing and acting, or some of the truly absurd design choices made, or the ineptitude of the execution of said choices, or some kind of bug. It was a damn good time, and Army of Two, in many ways perfectly inhabits the "so bad its good" category.
My brother and I had so much fun playing this game back in the day. I would always lay down cover fire for him and he’d flank everyone and shoot them in the back.
I found it an enjoyable game to play overall. Some issues I thought were close quarters mechanics seemed a little wonky. There is no aiming down sights really and sometimes your partner will just drag you around getting shot and great miracles occur as you survive lol. Only 1 of those 3 borders on a major flaw because you cannot really fix the close quarters gameplay where your guy constantly wants to change his shooting position. Aim down sights is not totally necessary, and you can always turn up difficulty or restart at a checkpoint if you think your gameplay sucked so bad you didn't deserve to survive. Like the dude said, overall...its a pretty fun experience.
Loved playing the cartel one, wasn’t particularly a amazing game but playing through it on co-op was extremely fun, even if we weren’t allowed to play an R18+ game
shoutout to anyone who saved all of their currency to get the grenade launcher which only had 3 shells. Legit the worst feeling i've ever had in a co-op game, as my buddy had played a series of different fun guns, but i chose to stuck to default to get that sweet sweet launcher..
This game glitches on me and my friend a few months ago on the part when your in the water..some building we were suppose to go in wouldn’t open but if you stand back it looked to be open already lol..good game I just quit didn’t matter how many times I restarted the game it glitched
Had a blast playing this with the girlfriend a few years ago. It was so much fun because we have differing playstyles and it worked out well in a game like this.
Bobert Daniels I absolutely feel you on that one brother, fast forward 2019 I’m rich and purchased over 200 games ultimate edition all DLCs in 2018 alone. Things get better with time. Now just don’t have the time to play them all lol.
I havent watched past 10 secs cause im already gonna say this game a 10/10 idgaf what this review says good or bad. This game was my shit, my friend and i would play the fuck outta this
This game is not mind blowing or anything, but it's a really fun coop game for sure. I love the dialog because you can tell the team had fun writing it
No it's mind blowing,back to back slow motion is next level...
the weapon customization and aggro meter were pretty sweet, i like how all of the guns had a slow but bassy firing sound
@@SkinnyBeGhetto this is true. Nothing has innovated quite like it since
I’m sorry but in 2008 this game was epic. The Devision took a lot from this years later but no one talks about it
We need another good split screen game like this
A Way Out
Theres plenty you just need to look
Cerberus Not really
@Exodus N no it's not, the first Army of two is better.
@Exodus N that don't sound like nostalgia the first Army of two was better.
"Toxic Masculinity, the game" - Kotaku.
I played the first two games with my Dad when I was younger and those are really happy memories.
Daredevil 1.5 That’s awesome. My son and I have some good co-op memories but never played this one together. Maybe I’ll break it out since he’s home for the summer.
Same. I remember when my dad bought me AOT and we beat it together then when the 40th day came out we rented it from gamefly and beat that together. So many good memories
Same I played it with my dad 2
I still want a new one, The 40th Day is my favourite, I wish the servers were still on.
Same. I'd love to get a full PvP match on 40th day
I mean cartel is good too
I remember lots of customization in The 40th Day. Absolute favorite.
Man, I seriously miss couch Co-Op games like this, Army of Two is a real gem of the bargain bin. I'll never forget the game informer review calling it below average.
There are 2 more games if you want to review them. Great review btw
I don't remember this being 3rd person
Seth Leoric They always have been 3rd person?
@@Rachel-96 WAIT WHAT?!
40th day was great if it changed scenery
@i support the LGTBQS the 40th day and the devils cartel
A friend and I played through this during a sleepover many years ago. We had an absolute blast. Definitely worth it for the co-op.
I actually really enjoyed the voice acting for Rios and Salem. I thought they brought a nice bit of personality to the characters.
I did the localisation for the South American release of the game and my voice acting was much much worse than the English version.
So..the 40th day next?
@Dr. Loomis I'm from the future it happened
@Dr. Loomis ....yet

Aaaah, good old times » EA actually producing decent experiences and not trying to rob you with broken trash
This one time I decided to play RE5 multi with a rando........on Steam and we finished the entire game. That's f'ing teamwork.
Impressive. This game is quite long.
Team work makes the dream work.
Have such great memories playing this co-op with my cousin...
Me and my homies back in the day played the HELL out of this on the 360. The pimped out guns were absolutely sick
Thanks you so much for reviewing this. I love these games to death and it’s so great to see other people talking about them. They don’t get talked about often
This game has a couple DLC expansions and a alt ending mission too.
dajokaman759 really how do u get it
@@rickyslick1575 Should be on PSN store or Xbox live store, theres a free DLC that was sponsored by some vehicle company that adds 2-3 new missions which the final mission is an alternative ending to the game.
Good to see someone taling about this game, me and my brother played the shit outta this game back in the day
The gun customization in the first and second games was amazing
Absolutely loved the co-op in this game!

I love the third game, "The Devil's Cartel"...my favorite in the series! Nice review, dude!
PH CLANK I wish that was backwards compatible
First game I played on the ps3, had such a great time with it, underrated imo
Really reminds me of Kane & Lynch series. I wonder if K&L and Two Armies developers collaborate together to make new game franchises improved upon their previous products
Quite a coincidence both 1st entries take place across varied locations then both sequels take place strictly in Shanghai. Righteous tho, I'm a big fan of both.
The Kane & Lynch games are absolute trash.
This series is like if Kane and Lynch wasn't absolute dogshit.
You nailed the essence of the game well, fantastic footage & comprehensive commentary! I own & have enjoyed all 3 in the series, only playing them solo, I love the mechanics & style of this unique action shooter. I would really savor your review of all 3 games in the franchise my friend.
And those reviews are indeed coming.
@@Gamingpastime64 Excellent, a guilty pleasure series for sure!

This game brings back memories. Played the whole campaign a few times split screen with my dad. Man I miss this game
I definetely loved this game, as it's one of my favourites. I don't know why EA has not released a remaster of this one
You guys definately have to try Army of Two the 40th Day! An amazing sequel! Had a lot of fun with that game.
I agree it's really great, but we liked the first one better (not to say that both are amazing). 2bad Devil's Cartel is kinda meh..
@@hopvafu1 The devil's cartel is kinda brainless fun. Too sad the franchise died with that game. God damn it EA, we need AoT and Medal of Honor back!
This game made my childhood and it helped me bond with my brother
Army of two the 40th day is 3 times better and the best in the series
When it was on the live was lit af. I remeber having so many clutch games wit my cousin. It was badass feeling like 2v2 co op pvp
I’d like to see a new Army of Two game. Played through the first and second games with my dad when I was younger, really great memories
Are you going to review the 40th day and the devils cartel?
Yes
@@Gamingpastime64 yay😍
Just bought this for £2 to play on the Xbox One. I'm going to do the campaign as a single player. Good video, thumbs up!
The Devil's Cartel is the best Coop game i've ever played. Gotta check this one out as well.
Well no lie I just played the game yesterday and now u make a video about it. Coincidence? I think not xD
Im 99% certain YT can read minds at this point.
Played this when it came out back in the day, amazing for it's time.
Holy shit I remember playing this game with my brother, along with Conflict Desert Storm. Good times
Me too! The good ol' days.
The online servers for this were shut down in like, 2011 or something. Since you can only play this coop locally now, the single player is the only other option. Was thinking of actually installing this on Xbone since its in the EA Access program.
I loved playing this game with my Dad back in the day, it was so much fun to play coop.
Man i had so many memories of this as a kid, i played it with my dad, it looked so cool and it played so cool
The Raining Men trailer for this game is the best thing I've ever watched.
I'd love to see this made as a looter shooter with the option to play solo, like if you have lots of agro you become a tank with bullet time for a while, or if stealthy you become invisible. or grab someone from an LFG app or something lol

This game always gives me wibes to epileptic gaming up all night gaming ep.
Anyway i really miss this AA games that was so common previous gens.
Loved this game, and honestly loved the sequels too.
"Back to back Mechanic" Needs more love than 4 secounds!
This was one of the coolest games I’ve played back then but sadly the sequels weren’t the same
I love this game series. 40th day is a better game but I had more fun with the devils cartel. I wish ea would bring this game series back
Could you make some old titles like Delta Force series and some other titles of that era in the middle east setting.
Thanks!!!
Do u knownif its possible to coop online? If so how, bc i installed it a long time ago to try and rebuild old memories, but online wasn't working
My brother and I had so much fun playing this game back in the day. I would always lay down cover fire for him and he’d flank everyone and shoot them in the back.

I was just thinking of this game when I saw it on my shelf the other day, then your vid popped up in my recommended, so weird.
Loved playing the cartel one, wasn’t particularly a amazing game but playing through it on co-op was extremely fun, even if we weren’t allowed to play an R18+ game
This game is rated like 3/5 stars on the Microsoft store but I remember really enjoying this game with my friend as a kid

How did you play through the campaign together? Last I checked the servers were down. Are they back??
On the same system.
I really wanted to play online coop ;-;
This was a good time of a game, been thinking of playing it again but need a co op partner.
This game was made back when games did this thing called "innovation" but now its just more of the same for trend and safety sake.
My first multiplayer game on PS3, I had great time with it.
I remember playing this with my brother, good times.
Ah the memories I remember playing this with my dad when I was younger lol I miss those days
A couple of months ago it was free with GWG.
I played this game with my dad when I was a little kid it was awesome
Man, I forgot how many hours my cousin and I put into this game the summer after this came out.
This would be a badass game to put on Nintendo switch now that I’m thinking about it.
Army of two the 40th day is great, I played through that a Million times
"Later fuckos"
"Who says that?"
Gaming pastime did you play the new blood remaster
Bought it. Haven't played it yet.
Had a blast playing this with the girlfriend a few years ago. It was so much fun because we have differing playstyles and it worked out well in a game like this.
God damn I miss this game I haven't played this since 2007 I think me and my dad played it together
And how's your dad doing?
Is he ok?
good review i just got this game today
Awesome game series! Hopefully one day we will get another one made.
I didnt even know what this game was about back then I just remember being devastated at being a broke kid who couldn't get the cool games
Bobert Daniels I absolutely feel you on that one brother, fast forward 2019 I’m rich and purchased over 200 games ultimate edition all DLCs in 2018 alone. Things get better with time. Now just don’t have the time to play them all lol.
Fun Fact: Bravo uses Salem's Idle Animation in Army of TWO: The Devil's Cartel.
damn what a throwback me and my brother played the shit out of this game when it first came out
I'd like to see army of 2 comeback in the same mission format as the last hitman game.
Why isn't Jeremy in the videos?
I played a different army of two with a guy with a yellow mask it was pretty cool
if only this series was on PC :/
No.
This game was the shit for me and my friends. Stay the night back to back mowing people down.
The only thing i renember is the shield
I actualy played this game with my brother last month what a coincidence
One of my favorite me and my brother used to play for hours
Review the outfit its a xbox360 game forgotten
duuude i loved that game
Unfortunately the game has not been released to pc
I've pulled off AoT on normal but I've dialled that down to easy since its completion. The AI is just plain stupid.
Its not bad, but not good either, I'd say Army of TWO: The Devil's Cartel has a better AI
@@0vxx The Devil's Cartel definitely had the best AI. The 40th Day was a step in the right direction (excluding the encounter with the minigun boss).
I enjoyed this review but I felt as tho you spent too much time giving a synopsis of the game instead of giving your critiques.
Me and my cuzin loved this game . We played all 3 of them
I loved gun customization
It's only £1 at my local game shop. Lol, I might take a gamble!
I havent watched past 10 secs cause im already gonna say this game a 10/10 idgaf what this review says good or bad. This game was my shit, my friend and i would play the fuck outta this
I wanted to see my childhood again, and china took me 100 tries depending on the level.
I think we can all agree devils cartel was the worst army of two game
Nate Del Valle really i liked devils cartel i didnt like 40th day tho
This one was the best one. 40th day turned Salem into a generic cookie cutter character. And I never even played the cartel one.
The devil's cartel was a big let down and yes I beat all the games at least twice and the first one is the most tactical of the 3 games
bad controls and animations but HELLA good creativity and design
I wish EA would release all 3 games in 1 pack for PC,but they just don't care
