DESCRIPTION

FaceBreaker is an over-the-top take on boxing with cartoon-like characters and zany venues. One of the game's signature features is the ability to create custom boxers with faces scanned from a camera peripheral. More than 60 options are available to tailor your on-screen persona, from costumes and body types to hairstyles and skin tones. Created fighters can be uploaded and shared with the FaceBreaker community, with the game supporting up to 40 custom boxers in total.

Twelve colorful combatants with such names as Romeo, Ice, Sparrow, and Molotov are available to compete in three main play modes: "Fight," "Brawl for it All," and "Couch Royale." "Fight" is a one-on-one bout against any unlocked fighter, while "Brawl for it All" is a tournament that has you trying to defeat all challengers. "Couch Royale" is a party-style multiplayer contest supporting custom rules. You can also jump online and compete in a choice of ranked and unranked matches against players from around the world.

Moves on offense include throws, dashes, and both low and high punches. Defensive options consist of dodges, blocks, and parries. Special moves called "breakers" can also be used against rivals. String together high or low punches to perform a "bonebreaker," or build up the "facebreaker" meter to bruise, batter, and, well, break your rival's mug in an overpowering flurry. Jaw-rattling performances can be saved as highlights, and both trophies and records are memorialized within the game's "Bragging Rights" room. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

FaceBreaker (PS3) by: DXRANT

“So this game is impossible on normal. I played it on normal in my first match to get the feel and it freaking beat the snot out of me. Cheapest game ever on normal, dodging every punch thrown is crazy. Easy was a little better, but felt really...”

FaceBreaker (PS3) by: stiky

“FaceBreaker is a simple button mashing boxing game. It is no Fight Night Round 4 but it does the job. Its a simple game with a great sense of fun. The whole time your playing you and your friends will need to take cramp breaks because of the mashing!”
