FaceBreaker to pummel retail shelves September 5

by Jason Dobson { Jun 18th 2008 at 8:00AM }

Living room pugilists can finally circle a date on their calender, provided they can hold a pen while wearing gloves, as GameSpot reports that Electronic Arts plans to ship its arcadey boxing title FaceBreaker for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii on September 5.

As the first title to emerge from EA's newly launched Freestyle brand, the game promises over-the-top ringside heroics. FaceBreaker is a game that continues to remain on our radar as one of our more anticipated games at next month's E3, though honestly we're conflicted if this has more to do with the title's tooned-out gameplay or simply the opportunity to uppercut Peter Moore.

Here's hoping it's good... since I read PRIZEFIGHTER wasn't all that great; and I haven't played a good boxing game since FIGHT NIGHT ROUND3. :\

I loved ready 2 rumble back in the day. But I had that back on the PS1... So I'm ready for a current gen update. Here hoping it is not complete garbage.

Yes! I couldn't remember the name of it, but it reminds me of that game.

The glove on the left of the screen looks like some kind of robot kitten face.

I think I'll change my name to that.

Given that I've read how much the developers of this game are PUNCHOUT uber fans......they are definitely starting out on the right foot.

With this game and FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 4 coming (with MIKE TYSON in it)....methinks boxing fans ...real and arcade-wise will be happy this year.
