Army of Two : What a mistake!

So, I have received my pre-ordered copy of Army of Two for the XBOX360(today) and I am more than a little disappointed. Better still I am not going to kiss EA's butt like most reviewers on the 'net and I am going to tell you why.
  • The cut scenes are stop/start and spoil running of the game
  • Loading screens are often and too long
  • Buying weapons and pimping them? Why can't I just pick them up?
  • The back-to-back fighting is scripted and uninspiring
  • It's slow, I mean really slow.
  • The Co-op interactions are all scripted, climb a wall, push some buttons, etc
  • Another Co-op interaction is to headbutt each other or shaking hands, but once is enough
  • More scripted use of car doors and riot shields
  • ...Yawn!
But, there is only one plus point
  • Easy achievements
My advice save your money for "Gears of War 2", or if you haven't got it buy "Gears of War"
