Nintendo Wii Review: Facebreaker: K.O. Party - Page 2

The game has a number of different modes.  Arcade mode is the simplest - two players go to town on each other until one drops.  Brawl For It All mode is a tournament through the various characters and venues, while Punch-O-Matic is a four person free-for-all.  There is a Practice mode, as well as the Fighter’s Corner, for all the ins-and-outs of the fighters and other assorted extras.  The “Mess your Face” feature allows you to humiliate your beaten opponent by painting their face.  It’s an unnecessary extra to be sure, but funny in a crowd.

Facebreaker is a good portent for future fighting games as they move out of the box they’ve painted themselves into.  And Wii is the perfect platform to experience this. With eye-popping colors, Facebreaker K. O. Party is intuitive, fun to play, and sure to please fans of fight games, as well as those looking for a good time when friends are over.

Facebreaker: K.O. Party is rated T (Teen) (ages 13 and older) by the ESRB for Comic Mischief, Violence. This game can also be found on PS3 and Xbox 360.
