Personally I've never adhered to the concept of the sword as a phallic symbol. It's just a long, straight, sharp bit of metal for sticking into people you don't like. I think it bears saying that, regardless of the content of the picture in question, it does show a great deal of artistic merit. Personally, I would be more likely to read that the flower and the sword were twin symbols of the opposing concepts of war and peace myself.
As you say though, it's a shame that the game sounds like an absolute stinker.
