Teen Gamer review Wed, 22 Apr 2009

Well, this game gets a prize unbeknownst to gamers preceding its release, it is the only game I have ever played to give me chronic cramp in my arm, and after only about ten minutes of playing it! I have never button-mashed so much in my life.

The Wii version works in motion controls although without changing the gameplay substantially.

Facebreaker on 360 is spot on with EA's new Freestyle message for a broader range of gamers and delivers some impressive visuals and gameplay. However, its 'one size fits all' attempt to expand casual appeal while retaining the hardcore is in danger of falling between two stools.

Wii-Sports Boxing unavoidably comes to mind when you think of revolutionary boxing games, that and the recent Fight Night games. Whilst Wii-Sports introduced novel controls, EA's Fight Night focused on graphical fidelity and boxing realism.
