"Facebreaker is the new boxing title from EA Sports. That title is extremely descriptive because after five minutes of playing I wanted to put my face through the wall.
That is not an exaggeration. This game is terrible. I'm not a sports fan by any means but I enjoy a fighting game now and then. Facebreaker is a fighting game in image and theory, but in practice, it's more a "stand there and watch the computer beat the crap out of you" game. The computer mode is so chaotic that it's all you can do to get a punch in or a block or whatever else you can do with the two buttons you use. My carpal tunnel was flaring up big time after two rounds. Two rounds of pressing two buttons about three hundred times and getting nothing but my face caved in for my efforts."
The ultimate reason is both shocking and disgusting.
From the article:
"Real Steel is, believe it or not, one of the top 10 best selling games on XBox Live Arcade. Considering the prevalence of the DLC, and the number of people playing, it’s a safe bet that Real Steel has become a surprisingly steady source of income for Yukes."
So a company is continuing to update and support a popular title.
