''Army of Two'' is an action game with a focus on cooperative and coordinated strategies. The video game is labeled a co-op third-person shooter. Players will join up with either the game's lifelike built-in Partner Artificial Intelligence (PAI) or other players "to fight through war, political turmoil and a conspiracy so vast it threatens the entire world." Story details are vague at the moment, but the game involves conflicts with private military corporations. You play as Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem, two "contractors". You choose one character at the start of each mission; the computer or a second human player controls the other character. The game will feature a unique weapon upgrading system, where just about any part of any gun can be combined. |

Details on the characters themselves are vague, but between the two, Salem is the younger and wilder of the pair, whilst Rios is the more controlled leader.

One of the major gameplay angles, which sets AoT apart from most others, is that nearly every aspect of the game is co-operative. Even such activities as parachuting, rapelling and even death are all played co-operatively. When characters get shot too much, they fall down, and the injured player has to rapid-tap buttons to keep the character from a heavenly glow (an unproven sympton of a near-death experience, while the other player cooperatively moves the analogue stick to apply CPR. |

Army of Two was ranked #1 in Electronic Gaming Monthly's special feature, "Top 50 new games", in issue #206 (August 2006). A six page exclusive developer interview including exclusive screenshots and information on the game is the main feature in the issue, with a screenshot on the cover page. The main reason the game earned the best ranking is because of its co-op combat.
