“Love it”

Very good game except for the stunningly bad online game experience (at least for the PS3 version).

well the 360 version run fine online in my eyes,EA could at least put a patch out so we can play people who live in the USA not just the EU
“Poor game.”

Er, PS3 version runs perfect online, at least it was for me. I ended up taking it back the next day because it's just a really bad game. Way too repetitive. No demo's pre-release, no marketing campaign.
“Goes to Show”

It just goes to show how saught after co-op play it, the game i feel is fairly well made, they aren't the best out there but the co-op play is fantastic and i think is the real selling point. There aren't enough split screen co-op games out there, i'd lather them all up.
“PC isnt dead”

Proof if it ever was needed, that the PC market is NOT dead. Dawn of War entering as a single format at number 8 is a superb achievement for a 4 year old title. PC gamers WILL buy decent hardcore games, when given the chance
“Apparently this game is terrible”

I have heard from a few people and my friend says the game is utter garbage and me and him usually agree on games that we feel are not that good.
If you notice the USA version does not say anything after the game when online on the 360 - the European version says :
Currently Playing: Army Of Two: (EU)
Meaning European version...So no chance of playing anyone outside of Europe, EA sure know how to not let everyone play together and its one of the reasons why many like myself hate EA.

There is no reason to hate EA. It is only due to the games buying public that they are successful, Chuck.
