Army of Two originally "a buddy cop kind of game"

TVGB: "Moving from the unique title Spore to a more conventional one like Army of Two: The 40th Day must have been an interesting experience for EA Montreal's Alex Hutchnsion. We caught up with the ex-Maxis dev on the show floor of Eurogamer Expo 2009 on Saturday to get his views on the original title now that he had been tasked with making the sequel a must-have. "I thought it was a very brave game to make," he began as we watched over The 40th Day's zoo level being played out in front of us, "Everyone at first kinda thought it was a Gears of War clone, but I really don't think that it is. I think the reason it sold well is that the core fantasy is very strong, the idea of you and me against the world, you and your best friend.""
