Facebreaker: No better than a punch in the face

Facebreaker has one unique feature, but the rest of the game is a let-down

Slick, irreverent but ultimately unspectacular fighting games are like buses.

You wait ages for one to come along and two arrive at the same time.

This is inferior to TNA in a number of ways and superior in just one.

Counter-intuitive controls and a lack of variety are not compensated by the fact you can upload your own face (or anyone else's) on to a fighter and watch it get smashed up.
