While it won’t likely scratch the itch of those looking for a more traditional shooter game-namely, competitive online multiplayer-it’s an original concept set inside familiar trappings. Army of Two throws plausibility out the window within the first five minutes, though, so it’s not really on the table in the first place.Īrmy of Two: Devil’s Cartel seems to accomplish exactly what it set out to do, offering an intense, impressive two-player co-op experience that’s heavily customizable and replayable. Naturally, when you take all of this into account along with the staggering number of people that just two individuals mow down, it’s all utterly implausible. When you do get taken down, there’s a generous amount of time for your buddy to heal you and keep going. The original tactical co-op game returns in Army of Two: The Devils Cartel GAME Exclusive Overkill Edition for Xbox 360, packed with additional in-game. A few seconds without soaking up bullets and you’re good as new. There’s no map, radar, or HUD you simply follow indicators to figure out where to go and cower in a corner when it’s obvious you’re about to die. The mechanics and controls are sound, with plenty of options to kill that work well. 'One of the major disconnects with Army of Two is the intelligence-or lack thereof-of enemies.'
