If only I'd waited a day for the reviews to come out on this one. I assumed it would at least be acceptable, considering it was the same developers from the Fight Night series. You will not be swinging with analog in this game. However you will be playing an unwinable game of rock-paper-scissors via button mashing against the computer, which you will ultimately lose. Does that sound like fun? The action is so frantic that you can't tell when you've intentially countered, parried, or blocked. Occasionally you'll connect with a haymaker and your oppenent will fly upward in slo-mo. Then shortly after he lands, he'll do the same to you. There is no point. There is no defending or strategy. I realize it's an arcade take on boxing and isn't supposed to be completely realistic, but you'll honestly have more fun watching a demo while fiddling with a controller and pretending you're actually playing. Don't waste your money!

I agree with the previous review. This game is garbage. Unless your around 5 years old and don't mind smashing butons there is really no fun factor in this game. I can't believe a Next Generation system still makes games like these. Stay away from this one and spend your money on something else.

Best Deals for FaceBreaker - Xbox 360

I definitely enjoyed Facebreaker. Picked it up for bucks, so I can't complain. This game is more of an arcadey-type fighting game instead of a realistic boxing game. The closest thing to Facebreaker would be the old Ready to Rumble games for the Dreamcast. Facebreaker may seem like a button-masher at first, but some skill is involved as you progress, and the difficulty is amped up.

Honest reviews on FaceBreaker - Xbox 360

Sometimes you need to play a game that is not necessarily totally dependent on skill, but dependent on luck! There aren't combos or lots of special moves (just one "stun" move thats unique to each player, I think), but it's lots of fun to smash your opponent's face and get that trophy at the end of the match with their "broken" face mounted on a plaque! Keep in mind, theres no jumping or kicking--it's all upper body work, but you get to use "sky breakers" and "ground breakers," and if you hit your opponent enough times without getting hit, you can do the ultimate "face breaker" move which instantly wins the game. Super-imposing your own face on the players makes it even more entertaining, as you get to punch the face of someone familiar! I enjoy this game for a half hour or hour of quick, cycling game play between three or more players. It's a simple game, and new players catch on quick.

This game has some good points I prefer over other other fighting games. You won't get very far with "button smashing", the game doesn't have a billion "super mega extra combos" you will accidently trigger with button smashing.

What you need with this game is not about memorizing combo moves. You will need to learn the strategy (and lack of it) of computer AI. For me Molotov was the hardest but his weakest point is his contant use of hard attacks, so create a strategy to stop it.

The timing of button presses is the key in this game (I can say it after completing the game with every character and Unbeatable achievement). Learn to press the buttons so that you will see "Perfect" in the punches every time you fight with the opponent.

High punch, dodge, Low punch dodge, etc. The game is works like a wave, you go forward then your combos are stopped, then your opponent starts his until you stop it with correctly timed dodges/punches. Button smashing gets you nowhere, this is the best part of the game. The game also has exceptionally well balanced characters.

Shortly: no tricks needed with this game, just that "riding on the wave" is the most addictive part of this game. You see your opponent punch high/low, you dodge high/low and only after that you do you stuff.

Something of this game reminds me of Guitar Hero type of games. The game is about rhythm.
