""Why don't you take a screenshot? It'll last longer."
Hahaha that was funny xD Can't say I didn't see this coming after the awful demo, give me Ready 2 Rumble any day. |

Shame. I hoped it would be good.
I really wanted this to be good. It seems like it could have been the ultimate party fighter. Tekken still handles that job perfectly, methinks.

As I thought after playing the demo, absolute shite!!
It wasn't even remotely fun to play, and just felt as cheap as hell. EA, just get on with FN4 already. |

Aye, but some characters are button-mashing friendly. You just point them out "hey, that one is easy to play with" and fun is still assured.

Agreed, Tekken has always had the ability to let 2 people have a fun and impressive looking fight without knowing the intricacies of a fight between pro's. In that respect it's very much like SoulCalibur, and not anywhere as intimidating as DoA or VF. Facebreaker, however easy it is to stand there and button mash, is not even the slightest bit fun. |

The demo was really really bad. Especially as this is the game that has seemingly replaced another Fight Night game. I can't believe that they didn't release a new Fight Night with deeper career mode and new fighters. Makes no sense to me? I'm sure they had their reasons?? I just hope to god they move on from this cock up and get cracking on a new Fight Night game. Me wants it... Me wants it long time!!

There's plenty of space in the Boxing genre to have another game in there, and that game doesnt have to be a FN clone, it just has to be playable for more than 15 seconds, which facebreaker certainly isnt. ;)

Please stop comparing this to Fight Night. If you're going to compare it to something then compare it to Rockstar's Table Tennis. It has the same frantic pace and intensity.
I think it's a lot of fun, in short bursts. Took it online last night and had some manic bouts. Holds up really well online considering it's so fast. Molotov FTW! |

Heh, I knew this was gonna be horrible.
I downloaded the demo and fiddled around with the character creation bit, which was fun. I thought 'that was cool, now let's see what the game's like proper' Played the demo for about four minutes and was completely revolted by the random gameplay and controls and promptly deleted the demo. Good riddance. |

i actuqally enjoyed the fact that there aren't any combo lists to trawl tghrough like in....uggg, tekken. anyone can pick up and play, and it means that when your at a party all really drunk except for that one guy, usually the person who spends 10 minutes memorising combo's, he won't win all the time. thats usually what happens, winner stays on, so its basically all the drunk guys versus mr. Sobriety.

And what makes TT so great? It has the same amount of depth, the same barran single player, the same pick-up-and-play gameplay. Simple, accessible, fast. Pick it up, put it down. Honestly, I don't see why TT received so much praise for being the exact same sort of game. I played FB last night for a good while, and it's just as much mindless fun. I enjoyed the intense scuffle with other players online. It was lolz. |

After spending 2 straight ranked online sessions against nothing but kilik spammers in soul calibur4, I think that the gaming community deserves a game like facebreaker....

"Did you guys who deleted it after "30 seconds" because you were getting beat up actually try to play the game as intended? Or did you uninstall it purely because you didn't understand what was going on?"
Nope, I'm guessing they uninstalled it because they thought it was shite ? |

Played as intended, blocked, countered, got the hang of it after a couple bouts, broke faces. Found it to be completely lacking in any kind of ebb-and-flow, any grace in combat, any style or flair. It's not a case of 'not getting' the game, it's simply a very badly designed and implemented game. It's nice that you enjoy it, but don't expect much company over there in 'team facebreaker'. |

I love it when EG savages a game. You lot are so mercilessly sarcastic and withering that it brightens up my lunchtime immeasurably.

"Come back Prizefighter, all is forgiven"
There is seriously something wrong with Eurogamer and has been for the past couple of weeks. Prizefighter is just a broken, horrible shitfest of a game. This isn't that good but is far better than that game. Also, to give Mercenaries2 5/10 is just stupid. Its at least a 7. |

Screw this bullshit. Do another Fight Night for everyone who wants one and do me a proper update of Def Jam: Fight For New York. That shit was tight, dog.
