Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel ligt vanaf vandaag in de winkels voor de Xbox 360 en PlayStation 3. Voordat je de game aanschaft, wil je natuurlijk eerst weten of de game het wel waard is. Daarom maken wij een lijst met recensies van de nieuwste Army of Two.

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is de derde game in de Army of Two reeks. Zoals vanouds ligt de nadruk vooral op de co-op. Twee spelers kunnen de controle nemen over Alpha en Bravo, die werken voor Trans World Operations, en nemen het op tegen een meedogenloze drugskartel.

In de game kun je hartstikke veel actie verwachten waarin jij en je maat in Mexico alles kapot schieten. Je neemt het op tegen tegen de kartel La Guadana probeert vooral de luitenant El Diablo neer te halen.

Voordat je The Devil's Cartel aanschaft wil je eerst weten of de game je geld wel waard is. Binnenkort kun je de recensie vinden op XGN, maar wij hebben ook een lijst met internationale recensies samengesteld. Zo kun je zien of de game goed is ontvangen.

LevelUp - 8,4
The Devil's Cartel, developed by Visceral Games, offers a frenetic, arcade style coop experience. The inclusion of the Frostbite 2 engine takes the destruction to a whole new level, especially when combined with the use of Overkill, an ability that will make you an unstoppable killing machine.

Official Xbox Magazine - 7,5
Even if you couldn't care less how efficiently you put hundreds of drug-dealing scumbags to rest, you may well be surprised by how enjoyable a bit of this disposable ultraviolence can be.

CheatCC - 7,4
The Devil’s Cartel is worth checking out—once you’re done with Gears of War: Judgment, of course. The game sticks too close to its inspiration at times, but it still offers a meaty campaign loaded with non-stop action. If you enjoy Gears, you will enjoy this.

GamingBolt - 7,0
Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel does not justify its price tag due to a serious lack of varied content, however, the game is fun and some people would probably be satisfied with that.

Destructoid - 7,0
The creative tools are a blast and the spirit of the series is mostly intact, but mechanics issues and some serious narrative missteps taint the experience.

NowGamer - 6,0
There are a lot of faults here – the messy map design, the awkward cover system, the surprising co-op fumble – but Army Of Two: The Devil’s Cartel manages to make its core action of shooting things engaging and fun, and that’s what will pull you through the game.

Eurogamer - 5,0
The Devil's Cartel is functional and fuss-free, a game that delivers the expected genre tropes with as little imagination and as much bluster as possible. It's not a bad game, but nor does it have anything beyond basic mechanical competence to mark it out as "good" - and even that competence wobbles more than it should.
