Fans of the franchise should not be disappointed by this interestingly re-thought, action-packed addition to the Army of Two series. While the absence of Tyson Rios & Elliot Salem as playable characters will put some purists off, Alpha & Bravo's story ties in closely & seamlessly into the Army of Two canon. The development of the characters, along with the superceding of the Aggro Meter by the Overkill mode, breathes new life into a franchise that may have otherwise become stale & repetetive.Yes, there are certain ‘charming’ elements missing from this title that were features of previous ones, but these are,as my partner pointed out after our second play-through, two new characters finding their own way in the TWO world.Expect a difference & enjoy the rush!
Those of you who are fans of the previous two titles in the Army of Two franchise may have not yet purchased this title based on low review averages. As one who pre-ordered this title, I encourage you to give this a look!
