FaceBreaker

FaceBreaker has a "cartoony" artistic style (similar to Punch-Out!! and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing) and allows players to break their opponents' faces as the game features "real-time facial deformation". The game also uses the same face-capture technology as Tiger Woods PGA Tour to allow players to capture their own image using peripherals for the Xbox Live Vision Camera and the PlayStation Eye. The game also contains a "Couch Royale" mode in which friends can compete in a tournament-type game mode.

Fights last three rounds of three minutes each, and can conventionally be won through technical knockout (there is no ten-count for regular knockdowns, as the knocked down character will immediately stand up again). If the three rounds pass without a winner, the match goes into a sudden death round with no time limit, in which the first to knock down the opponent wins regardless of prior score. Alternatively, there is a power gauge which fills as the fighter lands hits; at its maximum, the player can perform a FaceBreaker which, by disfiguring the opponent, counts as an instant-win condition.

X-Play gave the game a one out of five, citing the broken AI being so difficult to beat that it makes the game basically unplayable. IGN rated it a 5 out of 10. Game Informer, however, gave it a rather positive 7.75 out of 10.

Aaron Thomas of GameSpot gave the game a poor review, scoring it a 3.5/10. He felt that the game featured "cheap AI", "very few game modes" and "bad, button-mashing gameplay". He did say of the game that "it looks pretty good, and the deep customization options mean you'll never want for new brawlers..." However, "unfortunately, there's nothing fun to do with your boxer."
