any chance this will be a block-buster like MW2??? any hope... just curious what the hardcore gamers think, thanx.

probably not, good game just not very groundbreaking. Im currently stoked about god of war 3. And if ubisoft makes a new rainbow6 ill probably have to use all of my vacation time at work.

I don't think so. Sequels usually don't make as big a splash as their originals, and Army of Two doesn't Compare to MW2

Personally, I thought that the original Army of Two was incredible. The best 2 player co-op game I've ever played. Not like playing Halo in co-op mode, where it's basically the same as single player but split screen. You actually HAD to play as a team, and they did some very clever things.

I can't help but think that it will be more of the same (which is a good thing), but with more features. Won't sell as many as MW2, but MW2 was the most hyped game in recent years, and people didn't buy MW2 for the storyline or gameplay innovations. They just want to kill each other in online deathmatches (which IMO is quite boring).

That's my opinion too. It's actually a game that makes you feel like a badass duo, instead of two good players who happen to be playing the same game.

Army of Two was a great game, but the game play wasn't there to compete with any of the Call of Duty games... frankly, out of a FPS, I expect comparable gameplay, and to be honest, no FPS has impressed me other than a CoD game since CoD 4.

I`d venture a guess that the new Bioshock and Splinter Cell will be much bigger hits.

A played the demo a few days ago. It's an improvement over the original. I'm looking forward to getting the game on Tuesday. Will it compare to Call of Duty? No, but that game was overhyped.

yeah! i picked it up today and like it so far,... some improvements along with some touchy game mechanics, but alot of fun. try to heal your partner at the wrong time and you might run right pass him. noteworthy though is the multiple decisions you make can alter the plot somewhat. and who doesn't love the custom weapon up-grades!?!?

Nearly done with the game. Don't know if I like it any better than the first. Certainly longer, but it takes forever to unlock some of the upgrades. I'm on the last bosses doorstep and there are still several weapons I can't get.

The first one was a little liek that too, with the last 3 primary weapons; all of them useless IMO. Its fun playing the game again with your fully upgraded awesome guns though.

Did the presidents palace collapse?
