14 DAY TRIAL // It's official, boys and girls (but mostly boys), the deadliest two-man military outfit a government can buy, Army of Two has been dated by Electronic Arts. The respected developer has announced that the game will be on retail shelves starting November 15, 2007 in North America and Europe, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The gameplay in Army of Two focuses on two-man missions, two-man strategies, two-man tactics and a two-man advantage (not that the game's title didn't tell the exact same story...) to bring a new and groundbreaking gaming experience to players worldwide, online and offline. Co-op is no longer a mode, it's the game.
The game will hopefully manage to captivate gamers with a politically charged storyline, centering on the impact and ethical issues of Private Military Corporations. EA Montreal has also enlisted world renowned composer, Trevor Morris, to bring all aspects of the storyline and epic two-man gameplay to life through a powerful soundtrack. Morris has worked on numerous Hollywood blockbuster titles including Black Hawk Down, Bad Boys II, The Last Samurai and Pirates of the Caribbean 1 and 2.
There was talk a while ago that Army of Two featured the worst commentaries ever. At that time, I took a quick look at the respective trailer/gameplay video and I have to say, it was true. The two heavily armored men had the worst commentaries. You know the kind that are meant to be funny, yet they sound worse than pathetic. Hopefully, they've fixed them.
Army of Two still needs a rating (whether it's PEGI or the ESRB that EA goes with). That's about it for now and I guess we'll be talking about the game when it gets its rating. Until then, check out other headlines within our games section today. Oh, and? here's the game's official website.
