Brief synopsis of FaceBreaker

The renaissance of the arcade boxing genre is upon us. Created by the same team that developed the award-winning Fight Night Round 3, FaceBreaker offers irreverent fun, immersive gameplay and eye-popping stylised graphics. In this in-your-face, arcade world full of ego-wielding characters, each boxer comes to life with unique attributes and distinct personal style, including Romeo, a Latin lover known for his pelvic thrusts, and Molotov, an oversized Russian demolitions expert with a penchant for fighting dirty. Add a little personal motivation to your fight by uploading a photo of your face to create a realistic likeness using Photo Game Face, and go toe-to-toe with a real-life friend or foe.

Laugh out loud as you pummel your opponent with a barrage of blows to the face and watch in satisfaction as your progress is illustrated by real-time facial deformation. With haymakers, face shots and body blows, wait for the right moment to drop a super punch to make your presence known. In FaceBreaker, it just feels good to rearrange your opponent's face.

Rated - 3 starsHard.. Very Very Hard

Zabadack from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 11/10/2008

I'm not normally the kinda guy to turn away from a challenge but this game is ridiculous. Some people may remember the original ninja gaiden on the nes or even the new mega man on xbox live... that's easy in comparison to this.

on the easiest setting this game takes no prisoners, but then this game was never meant to be a single player. Facebreaker was designed for button mashing nights with your mates and a few beers. Sure you could complain about the fighting system, the difficulty and the cliche characters, but it's like complaining that mario never got to screw the princess... it just couldn't be any other way.

This is the kind of game you buy and have sitting in your collection for when you don't want to be the guy that slaps everyone silly because it's your system, in fact it's almost the opposite of fight night.

if you want a fun evening with friends shouting things like 'omg did you see that facebreaker move! he does a one handed press up on his FACE!' then this is a game for you. if you want a decent single player experience and a career mode... stay away.

3 stars because the single player is so hard

Rated - 0 starsPointless Button Mashing

A customer from Sheffield , 16/09/2008

I don't normally bother to write reviews, write in and complain but FaceBreaker forced me to. It's possibly the worst game that I've come across on the 360, it's actually possible to play this game without looking at the screen by mashing the punch button

In all honesty my ZX81 had better boxing / fighting games on it...

Well i managed to get 120 gamerscore in a hour from this game but ended up with some cramp in my hand, game is fast paced and less skill as is luck. but pretty easy for the first 100gamerscore and next 100 dont seem that hard either.

Terrible game just consists of pressing a couple of buttons before your opponent destorys you.

Much better online than vs the computer.

the game doesnt seem to bad yes it is just mashing 2 buttons but that why its a 'arcade' style boxer. i've only played the demo and ts pretty fun with a mate round probably worth a rent.
