Where to begin. . .
Got this game on goozex along with another friend, as we really enjoy a coop game, even bad ones are fun sometimes when playing with a friend.
I remember I first became aware of this game before I owned any console this gen. I think it was 06 when EGM ran a "50 most anticipated next gen games" feature. Gears of war, assassin's creed, crackdown, many others were on there. Number 1 was army of two.
Anyway, we cooped the entire game, and this is one of the worst games I've ever played.
Controls: The aiming, movement, and general controls are so incredibly sluggish and non responsive. Tracking enemies with your crosshairs is an exercise in frustration and failure.
General Bugs: Getting knocked up onto boxes and having your partner unable to reach you, even though it's a box you can vault over. Hitscan being terrible - I can see half of a guy sticking out of cover and am shooting him, but no hits register.
AI: The enemies do nothing and everything. An enemy will have you pinned, even have you downed from a shotgun effect or melee or something, and rather than keep on you, they just run across the map instead. The enemies run around like idiots all the time with no rhyme or reason. I could go on for hours about this, but why...why are you arbitrarily running around instead of you know, attacking me?
Gameplay: A FREAKING CUTSCENE TO OPEN EVERY DOOR? wtf. Why do I need a cutscene to open a door or pull off a hatch, every freaking time. Really? And how about we'll just have you walking along on a path, and throw a pit in front of you that you have to jump down into for no reason other than to just want to keep using the stupid step jump "cooperative" features? Sure, we'll take a dozen of those. Want vehicle sections that make the gears of war 2 driving on the ice lake look like gran turismo? We got those too!
Story: Just...we played through in two sittings, and there was so much cognitive dissonance in this game that it's impossible to start. I don't even have a problem with the ham fisted 7th grader caliber commentary on private armies, whatever. But when you're playing with a friend, and you both say to each other "wait, did we just miss 20 minutes of dialogue or cutscene that would have made what they just said make sense or connect to what we just did?" at the same time, something is wrong. It felt like watching a movie, but every ten minutes they cut out 5.
Achievements: A full playthrough, and I got 100 achievement points. I mean really, bad bad games should at least give you a few hundred points...
I spent the equivalent of ten dollars on this game, and I hated the entire playthrough more than any game I've played in years.
