E3 Hands-On: Facebreaker

The characters that make up the roster of Facebreaker are overly-caricatured pugilists who each have their own distinct flair and style. From girthy ninjas to crazy witch doctors, each fighter is appropriately cartoonish and over-the-top. It ultimately works though, as each battler’s personality directly feeds into his or her fighting style, meaning combat feels like a natural extension of the character. For a game that restricts you to four basic commands, each character still manages to be unique, no small feat indeed.

In the event you tire of pummeling these fighters or just want to make a (slightly) more realistic version of yourself for the game, Facebreaker is offering a wealth of opportunity for you to put your own face in the game. The team showed up their included version of EA Sports’ own Peter Moore, and they have just announced they’re including Kim Kardashian, the celebrity who’s famous for absolutely nothing, in on the fun. Alas, if the promise of radically deforming Kardashian’s face through a series of punches isn’t enough to make you buy this game, I don’t know what is.

Obviously, this treatment isn’t reserved simply for executives and “celebrities,” as you and your friends can use the same technology to map your faces onto characters and then slug it out for bragging rights. Ever wanted to see what your buddy would look like with a black eye but never had the guts to just punch him in the face? This game lets you do that and oh so much more. Not only can you give your best bud a shiner, you can also break his nose, cauliflower his ear, and knock out a few teeth while you’re at it!

If you’ve been waiting for a worthy successor to the arcade boxing throne, Facebreaker seems poised to deliver on all fronts. It’s silly, irreverent, and engaging while still managing to be complex and tactical. Also, you get to beat famous people and friends senseless, so what’s not to love? This is a title we’re definitely keeping our eyes on, and you should too.
