EA: Europe Didn't Get The "Tone" Of Army Of Two

13
IncGamers' Tamer Asfahani talks to Alex Hutchinson, creative designer on Army of Two: The 40th Day about the "tone" of the first game.

According to Hutchinson, Europeans didn't seem to get the humour, and Hutchinson went on to agree that although the game sold well, it wasn't a critically acclaimed title.

God that game was awful. And not, in any, funny. Apart from the unintentional homoerotic comedy that is.

Ah, come on. It was terrible, yes, but it was so-bad-it's-good in places.

Storyline was weak, humour was hardly developed, chars were rather generic, while renders were really good, weapons didn't get the weight and feel how they should be and sound team didn't do a great job either.
It was very mediocre to be honest.

I played it only in co-op mode with my friend and it was feeble experience.
But shooter hotheads like my brother-in-law and my nephew did love it.

I guess the game didn't met the expectations of demanding gamers.

Yeah, "humour" and "tone." It's a stretch to consider either of these words appropriate. High School humour is still humour after all.

Interesting that they're going for the middle ground. Not surprising, though. Army of Two wasn't funny, it was just ridiculous.

7 - The "tone"...? LOL
I rented the game, picked up on the "tone" after two levels, and am still glad that I never bought it. That it sold well enough to make a sequel amazes me. My little brother still gives me a hard time about the fact that he bought it on day one thinking I would do the same and we'd co-op it. I laugh at him every time he brings it up. Army of Poo is more like it.
