Xbox 360 Break yourself fool!
The title, Facebreaker sounds painful, and getting used to the fast and frantic boxing style of Facebreaker can be extremely painful too. But it's one of those games that when you have the controls down and have found your footing, you'll be knocking out opponents quicker than that Columbian fella knocked out Khan. And, if you're lucky, you may even be able to dance around your rival like you've had loads of stimulants notoriously famed for being exported from his country - coffee of course.
The game is good light-hearted fun that shies away from the seriousness of many other boxing games to give players an experience that is reminiscent of the old dreamcast classic, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing.
The graphics are done in a cartoon fashion, with each of the fighter being over-the-top in some way. As you fight your way through the various belts, you will unlock more fighters to play as.
The moves list is fairly extensive and the special moves are nothing short of explosive. When you unleash fury on your opponent and break their face, it looks painful.
One bad point is the sudden death mode that kicks in. This means that the next boxer to hit the deck loses, which is pretty unfair if they have been winning all game.
You can create your own boxer and can even give it your own face using photos or the Xbox Live Vision Camera. The face creation process can take a long time but the end product is like nothing I have seen in a game before, the likeness is pretty damn good.
SCORE: 7 / 10
