Meet FaceBreaker's Romeo, get punched

by Richard Mitchell { May 1st 2008 at 4:15PM }

GameVideos (which has received a huge makeover, by the way) has posted a new trailer for FaceBreaker, the upcoming cartoon boxer from EA. The video serves as an introduction to Romeo, a svelte Spanish boxer with a voice that lands somewhere between Antonio Banderas and Family Guy's Mr. Weed. Perhaps more importantly, the video gives us a peek at how FaceBreaker will actually play. Assuming what's seen in the video is actually taken from gameplay, you can expect to occasionally launch foes completely off the mat. In the video, Romeo repeatedly launches foes high in the air and lands another crushing blow as they plummet back to the canvas. We have to admit, it looks like it could be a lot of fun. Given the pedigree of EA Canada (Fight Night Round 3), we're hopeful that it will be.

ugh. I want to like this game but this video just made me wish it was Fight Night Round 4 we were waiting for instead.

Hopefully this will be a budget title?
I don't see myself or many people paying 60$ for that.

No, it won't be a budget title. It looks fun (Like "ready to rumble" back in the day). So even if the actual game is garbage they will still sell enough to warrant at least one sequel. Just think how many copies they will sell on Wii alone with tacked on motion controls.

I just hope the game is good enough to hold my interest when I rent it as I usually don't buy sports games.

In a world were Ratatouille can sell more copies than Bioshock, I would say plenty of people will pay full price for this game. Heck, and it might even be good.
