6. Less teenage boy pleasing dialogue

We can't have been the only ones who didn't love the dialogue between the two lead characters. Sure, it's a step up from some games, but these two talk to each other like they've just left high-school. In the middle of a life or death situation I'd expect them to be a little more serious in tone. The cringe-worthy gestures you can make to your partner need completely overhauling too. We performed an air guitar solo once and that was enough.

5. Improve close-quarters combat

If there's one thing that annoyed us more than anything else while playing through Army of Two, it's how awkward the controls feel when you're trying to take down an enemy that's run within touching distance. Melee attacks seemed hit and miss, and aiming your gun at close quarters was nearly impossible when having to resort to the painfully slow precision aim. We just want to be able to take down enemies like the rock-hard brutes we're playing as should be capable of.

i think the dialogue in the game lightened it up, gave it a sense of humor, which is great after playing halo, CoD4, R6V2 and all the other serious shooters, next-gen is crying out for a shooting game that's...

After being a little put off by your review, I bought the game. Personally I love it.... Videogamer.com, you make a coop game and let everyone see how good you can do, since you know it all. So easy to critisize, but all your grips just tell me you need to hire someone who knows how to play games.

Great ideas to improve the game, as I agree with about 7/10 of your suggestions. Overall a great game though. EA will definitely franchise this, but I gave them a break with this 1st game because it was a slight shot in the dark. But besides that did anyone feel the "Call of Gears of Halo 3" esque experience the game brought? lol.

I think you take games too serious Tom, this isn't reallife. "OMG TEHY TLK LIEK THEY JST GOT OUT'A HGH SCHOOL!!11!!oneone!!1"
So what? Do all the characters in action games need to be serious? I think it makes the game more fun to play, instead of boring serious comments. "OHH YEAH!!!" instead of "I got him" or not say anything at all is a bit more fun, isn't it?
Not all action games characters needs to be the same, boring-serious types.

You should also be able to duel wield weapons

Let the weapons do more realistic damage. The anti material rifle for instance should be able to fire through cover and light vehicles. It would be fun to have other vehicles kicking about that can be used. More weapon upgrades would be handy - i.e. infrared to shoot through targets, better use of GPS system. Also the game would be improved through having time limits upon actions, the ability to fail a mission to effect the overall storyline. The armour system is weak. There should be the option to purchase armour or not, and it should effect gameplay more. The weapons load out is strange - i.e. weapons not fully reloading with grenades, special weapons on being replenished if a different weapon is selected. And so on and so forth....

Yeh well, i think its a really good game, just need to improve online, if the shooting was like cod4, its a totally different game. Maybe a more destuctable enviroment, i.e battlefield bad company, and more customization online.

The game was great to play but just as you get into the mix of things....story complete.A longer storyline would be enjoyable.

What I want to see is moves you can do with your teammate instead of just activities like step jump and crap. Also they should let you create a character, and customize the armor and weapons colors.

a wide selection of gun and upgrades. + customize the armor or pimping the armor.
And more levels. also make reloads more detail like seeing the magazine come out and dropping onto the floor.
