i saw the newest army of two game (cartel) and thought before i get it i need to start from the beginning so i got this game. its a good game for a offline 2 player game (which I've been looking for) my son and i played it and finished it over the span of 1 weekend (my son is 8 and I'm not the best gamer for shoot em ups so its a very easy game, very repetitive also, you go on mission shoot em, hide, shoot em, hide missions are the same every time and can become boring as all that really changes is the scenery. but again with the limited offline 2 player games around these days its not bad and the price was worth it, would not have paid full retail price though as wouldn't have felt like i had got my moneys worth
