So Yahtzee is saying that 'Army of Two' is a modern day version of the Sacred Band of Thebes? Judging by EA's game trailer I think he is onto something.
These days, it's a little too close to impossible to see mercenaries in anything approaching a positive light, so I guess it's for the best that this game is not worth playing.
I'm surprised he never mentioned that after killing large groups of brown people, you can initiate a session of literal air guitar jamming using your assault rifle as a guitar/phallic symbol.

Man, that's hard hitting political commentary. Juvenile power fantasy my ass.
