Punch Anyone In ‘FaceBreaker’ Boxing Game
In the nearly three years since EA’s Fight Night Round 3 revolutionized boxing video games, we’ve been starving for another console puncher to hold us down until Round 4 drops in ‘09 (sorry, 2K, but Prizefighter was trash). This week, Facebreaker (360, PS3, Wii) steps into the ring, and unlike the Fight Night series, it’s a simple button-mashing cartoon brawler, not a boxing sim. That’s good news for all of us who heavily fucked with Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! and Ring King back in the day.
Like in Punch-Out!!, the comical characters in Facebreaker play on stereotypes (the brute Russian, the Latin lover, etc.). What’s especially cool is the Photo GameFace feature, which allows you to upload real-life photos to create new characters and share them online. Looks like it’s finally time for that 50 Cent vs. Joey Crack fight to pop off. Check out the brand-new Kimbo Slice Facebreaker commercial below…
