With only two punch buttons as well as one to throw, gameplay mostly consists of button mashing. With practice, you will be able to pull off all kinds of bonebreakers, groundbreakers, skybreakers and of course facebreakers but more than likely the only thing that players will break is their gamepads. Simply put, this game is no fun to play on your own. This is very frustrating to say the least and I doubt if most players will have the patience to persist against such unfair odds. Everything you throw at them is blocked or countered while they effortlessly lay into you. In fact, without exploiting the enemy A.I it is almost impossible to land any blows. This might sound very easy on paper, but in reality, it borders on the impossible. The problem is that in order to execute a facebreaker you need to land ten consecutive punches without one being blocked or dodged. Your goal is to score three knockouts to win the match or one facebreaker, which will end it in style.

The idea is to pick your favourite character or create one from the rather comprehensive character creator before taking to the ring. This is surprising as it was created by the same people responsible for the rather good Fight Night series. While Facebreaker is a fast paced game with good visuals and a wacky assortment of characters it has very little to do with boxing. This game definitely had a lot of potential, but sadly it all falls flat tanks to the tedious gameplay. I thought that it would offer the same goofy gameplay found in titles like Ready To Rumble Boxing but unfortunately it turned out to be nothing more than a glorified game of rock, paper, scissors. Jaw-rattling performances can be saved as highlights, and both trophies and records are memorialized within the game's "Bragging Rights" room.Facebreaker is one of those games that taught me not to judge a book by its cover. 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. Special moves called "breakers" can also be used against rivals. Defensive options consist of dodges, blocks, and parries. 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. "Couch Royale" is a party-style multiplayer contest supporting custom rules.

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.

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