Part boxing game, part wrestling game, and part Chris Farley slapstick, EA Sports’ upcoming FaceBreaker is a decidedly different take on boxing for which the company has come to be known. After all, the crown jewels in EA’s boxing stable are the old Knockout Kings games and the more modern Fight Night series (for which, a fourth game was just ).

While those games focused on the mechanics and strategy of boxing, FaceBreaker has its sights set on the more theatrical side of the sweet science. We had a chance to see the game in action a few weeks ago during EA’s spring press event to see where this arcade boxing game is heading. As any Ready to Rumble fan will tell you, the cast of characters you’ll be playing as “makes or breaks” any arcade boxing game. FaceBreaker won’t lack for variety here: It showed 12 fighters during the demo of the game, ranging from Kekoa the tatted-up surfer dude to the formidable witch doctor Voodoo. When you add to the roster the created players you can whip up using a face-importing feature similar to last year’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, you’ve got a cast of ridiculous-looking boxers whose faces are begging to be broken.The gameplay in FaceBreaker looks to be a fairly simple affair: When in the ring, you’ll have light and strong attacks you can use to build up your FaceBreaker meter. Each punch you land will add some energy to the meter.
How full the meter gets will determine what kind of special attacks (known as “breakers”) you have available to you. The base level is the bone breaker; next, the sky breaker (which tosses your opponent into the air); and next, the ground breaker (basically a crushing blow while your opponent is on the ground).
The final special attack level is the FaceBreaker, which is basically a finishing move. To win a match in the game, you can either knock your opponent down three times or, ideally, finish him off with a FaceBreaker.The single-player core of FaceBreaker will be the “Brawl for it All” mode, where you can take y our character and fight a ladder tournaments against all of the other characters in the game. This mode will have four championship belts to fight for, with multiple matches per belt.
The difficulty you choose will determine where you restart the game should you lose a match; on easy, you’ll start from the fight you just lost, while on the higher difficulty levels, losing will send you back to the beginning of that belt’s tournament.Though it might sound like it, FaceBreaker won’t be a mindless punchfest. For one thing, you will have defensive abilities in the game, such as blocks, dodges, and parries, at your disposal. For another, every character will have the ability to stun an opponent briefly.
Voodoo, for example, will be able to fire off green skulls at his opponent–the only way to escape this stunned state will be to punch yourself in the face (or, indeed, wait for Voodoo to do the honors for you). In addition, different characters will have other special abilities–the chubby kung-fu “expert” Steve will be able to throw smoke bombs periodically, disappearing in the ring only to appear in an entirely different spot and keep his opponent off guard.Strategy aside, the surefire path to victory in FaceBreaker will be landing punches. Your FaceBreaker meter will fill up as long as you land punches–theoretically, you could get to the ultimate level on your FaceBreaker meter within a few seconds of the round beginning (assuming your opponent puts up next to no defense or counterattack). Still, as producers put it, the finishing moves will all depend on user input; they aren’t just animations you watch to complete but require timing and a modicum of skill on the part of the player.Graphically, FaceBreaker is playing up its cartoon boxers to a great degree.
The monstrous Voodoo, or his Russian counterpart Molotov, are hulking beasts, while the lithe, quicker boxers like Romeo and the female Tokushu will ensure you’ve got plenty of variety at your disposal. The environments are nicely detailed too, featuring everything from a trailer park and a futuristic-looking arcade to a more traditional gym setting. While EA didn’t spend a great deal of time on the details, the player creator in FaceBreaker looks like it’s going to be good for a laugh or two. After importing your face via the camera, you can place it on the body of a boxer found in the game.

The demo featured a particularly accurate rendition of EA Sports’ president Peter Moore’s bald head placed on top of the paunchy body of one of the game’s more flabby characters. You’ll be able to upload your created boxers for sharing with other players and download up to 30 boxers into your game. In addition, you can upload highlights or your fights for other people to check out.FaceBreaker is the first game announced for the just-launched EA Freestyle brand, and it looks to be a fast-paced boxing game that seems to emphasize its sense of humor at least as much as its gameplay. We’ll see how funny–and how fun–the game is when we get our first hands-on with FaceBreaker later this year.
Isiah TiradoThe way the scam works, she sends you a check for more than the value of her order- You wire part of the money to someone- You deposit the check and wire the money- Your wire transfer clears instantly- Her check bounces- The bank makes you pay them the full amount of the check, including the amount you wired to someone else and a fee for depositing a bad check- The buyer and the person you wired money to split the money you sent- They vanish- You never find them- You are wise to delete any message they send you. OnetufdudeThe post before me is a great idea- That's classic ^^^^I've been checking on all these numbers I havn't answered in the last few days,this company has called me tons of times from different numbers-Scam-The first time they called me was - They are mostly trying to sell car warranties, but sometimes they are 'giving' away TVs, or selling satallite service- I've never actually answered the calls so I wonder why they still call- Oh well-Please read notes from other numbers they call from. LlamaKevin- I hear you I am in your same situation with my cell number that I've had for almost years- The call blocking on my Android works OK, but the call log registers the call for every ring, What an insane situation- I have tried to reason with them, I have asked them nice, nothing They just don't give a crap, they just laugh on the other end of the call- This is a classic example of the double-edge of technology and Gov't not doing anything about it- I truly hate this human garbage- I wish them all the worst fate in their cesspool countries. Dinesh jatCalling me to about an entry level job with an internet electronics company- Wanted to meet me at Starbucks too- Did my own research and the number he gave me was from electronics, but the site sells cheap phones and tablets from sears- Their website is set to expire in march too- Said he lost his management team in November- Just all seemed weird- Passed on meeting him- Still calling- I will agree with con artist and would never work for a company with only two crappy products and several complaints about them not returning their product or refunding their money. JlewisIf you heard an announcement over the radio FCC regulated for a gas card DO NOT DO IT I called and had them go through all the B,S about it- I kept interupting her to clarify that the only one time charge will be - and she responded 'yes', but checked my account today to find out that already their partners in crime had already charged - from Old Orchard Beach Maine WTF,So I immediately called my bank and cancelled my bank card- People keep a mental note- CHECK THE NUMBER FOR ANY REVIEWS BEFORE YOU CALL.
Dougie FreshI got a easy way to stop these continuous calls;, Another website for the caller with the last digits of the phone number different had a comment from a person who researched to get this do not call request service- They provide this service to a small number of companies that call consumers that want to minimize complaints and save time not calling people who don't want to be called- First give the caller's phone number to verify it's on their list- Then give them the receiving phone number to add to the do not call list. SCUserthese clowns called me said had complaint on me against my ss# asked my name I answered yes to it- they don't scare me- then I asked who they were, they wouldn't answer that, went straight to call out my full ss# and roughly said 'well see if we don't have any information on you, you'll have a subpoena in to hours and hung up so quick before I could cuss them out- Good thing they were hiding behind a phone like cowards, would have loved to have my hands firmly locked around their throats. JFrostThis Jennifer Phillips girl scared me into paying her dollars back a few weeks ago when i googled the number and read the reports i noticed that alot of people had been contacted by this I called information and that number and most other numbers they used are not listed which means you can not get a address on a reverse search- Has anyone actually been taking to court by these people? I even called lawyers and they lawyers said that they can not take you to jail for not paying your bills,They call themselves a litigation firm,does anyone think that they could take me to court? Jane RogersI called the, number back and gave them a piece of my mind and told them to stop calling- I can't believe Sears contacts this company that enjoys harassing customers- Not only does it make them look bad, it makes 'Sears' look even worse So for those people who are sick of this number calling, just call the number and tell them your story and to remove your phone number from their list My next step is to send Sears head office a piece of my mind about this company as well Now lets see if they call. Jeetendra shakyaTHIS NUMBER, CALLS MY CELL PHONE EVERY DAY; THIS CALL IS ORIGINATING FROM BAYONNE, NJ AND IS A VOICE MESSAGE MALE WHO SAYS 'PLEASE PRESS TO WIN A MILLION DOLLARS'IF YOU PRESS, A WOMAN'S VOICE INFORMS YOU THAT THEY CANNOT OFFER THIS IN FLORIDA OR OUTSIDE USA, THEN THE CALL DISCONNECTS (HELLO-I'M IN THE SAME STATE THE CALL IS COMING FROM, AND THEY HANG UP ON ME)IF YOU DO NOT PRESS, THE CALL WILL EVENTUALLY DISCONNECT-I AM CHECKING TO SEE HOW MUCH I AM CHARGED FOR THIS BOGUS PHONE CALL; HOW CAN WE STOP IT??
MccoySaid he was Jamie from Allied Plumbing and wanted to talk to an employee- The employee was not here so he wanted his cell phone number which I would not give out- 'Jamie' wanted to hold while I contacted the employee via the cell phone- Jamie said he was 'here and could not wait all day-' While I was talking on the phone with the employee Jamie, holding on the other line, hung up- Could have been a missdialed number, EXCEPT he knew the employee's name- Why would someone be calling from a Florida cell phone to a state in the west? CT MikeRead this,'www-fcac-acfc-gc-ca eng media pressRel, p?postingId'Consumer alert: Debt reduction companiesBeware of?too good to be true offers?Ottawa, January,? The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) today issued a Consumer Alert on debt reduction companies- FCAC is warning Canadians: Be very cautious about companies that claim they can negotiate a deal with your creditors so that you will have to pay only part of your debt- This process is often called?debt reduction,??debt settlement,??debt relief? MArilyn MUNROEI have been receiving calls from this 'Partners in Credit' claiming that I am someone else who owes money and I am lying and they claim to have spoken to this fictitious person several times from my number, the 'rep' was an extremely rude and aggressive caller and he won't stop calling- I will have to cancel my phone number I have had for several years - it's incredibly disruptive- Can someone steal my phone number and use it somehow so it shows up on someone else's call display or is this a fraud artist? Alok jenaonon June nd at: p-m- I received this call it was a cheesy voice sounded like a recorder that said Andrea this is jr (junior), now that I have your new phone number and your new email address, ahh,i'lll call you back another time, okay? Have a good day, in a kind of threatning kind of way, threatning because we he been harrased on our cell phones so many times I believe this is a spoof type of call from a app on google play store, I'm not possitive which one it is, because there are a lot of free computer generated phone #s'. Chuck HCalled here too, same sales pitch that I've received from about the last calls over the past months- Actually called twice int he past hours and both times they claimed they did not need to abide by the DONOTCALL lists- They ID'd themselves as 'Cresent Processing' and so I asked if it was the same firm as the one known as CPC- He said yes- I let him know that I was filing a complaint at donotcall-gov as we spoke and he got abusive and then hung up-Same line as the others, they offer credit card processing services and there was a rep in my area.
PavanPeerless Network is NOT a telemarketing company and does NOT utilize telemarketing to promote any of our services- We are a regulated telecommunications company that provides telephone numbers to a wide variety of carriers, service providers and enterprise customers? NefertitiThey called me three times today-: I let the machine get it and they hung up instead of leaving a message-: They hung up before the machine picked up-: I answered the phone- A woman with an indistinguishable (because she was so quiet) accent said she is calling to see if our business would like to relist our information- Because we've received this type of call before, I told he we'd stated several times that we are not a business but a residence, and please remove our number- Before I was finished she had hung up. Jana TuckerSince they've been calling my house number for over a week I finally picked up- Turns out they had the wrong number- The guy identified himself as a Steve Smith (did not say what company he was with) and asked for some guy that I've never heard of- Sadly, I think when we moved into our new house, we got an old number of someone who the creditors were are after- This is not the first time we've had this happen- We'll see if they call again- When I told him that I've never heard of the guy before, I don't think he believed me.
Tracy Hoffmani am consistently receiving phone calls from the above telephone number- what appears in my caller id is 'your healthcare plan-' i receive the calls at all hours- in addition to which my phone number is unlisted- i have reported these incidents to the FCC and am going to contact the FBI tomorrow- this is a major federal offense- i just spoke with my healthcare company's fraud division as no legal entity would ever call any one without the proper id- unfortunately, most of the recipients of these calls are naive and respond to the calls- hang up. Yolinda MarksThis is a scam They were very rude and very pushy was giving me my info and told them it was incorrect and I didn't own that vehicle anymore and they said well what do you drive how do you get around then?
I mean what professional does that? None that's how you KNOW it is a scam, thieves of personal info and they sell your info into identity theft and there's your life down the drain,do not fall for it this was not the first time they called and they call from a bunch of different numbers all day everyday.
