Army of Two has some of the most fun co-op play I've experienced. The name says it all. It was built from the ground up with multiplayer in mind. This, of course, also has a negetive effect. The AI for your partner when playing in single player leaves much to be desired. Getting him to regroup can be a hassle, as well as getting him to realize that enemy bullets are something to be avoided. The enemy AI is pretty good, although a bit on the aggressive side. The armored enemies encourage teamwork in that you need have one person distract him while the other fills his ass full of hot lead. This brings me to my final point: the games use of aggro. The enemies will focus on the player they percieve to be the biggest threat, which is determined by who does the most killing or whoever has the biggest gun.
