360 - FaceBreaker - EA's Facebreaker TKO'd, Sells Just 52k The NPD Group has confirmed that EA's Facebreaker sold just 52,000 units in September across the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined. A Wii version called FaceBreaker K.O. Party is expected to launch in November.

Facebreaker's market performance was labeled "disappointing" by UBS analyst Ben Schachter. We agree. The game was supposed to represent what EA Sports could do with an all-new IP under its Freestyle brand. EA even went the extra step of putting EA Sports boss Peter Moore in the game. Somehow the game's over-the-top characters and arcade gameplay didn't click with consumers.

Ironically, EA Sports earlier this week issued a statement to boast about its improving Metacritic scores, but Facebreaker has an average score of 54 on Metacritic.

360 - FaceBreaker - FaceBreaker Soundtrack Facebreaker, an arcade-style boxing game from EA SPORTS Freestyle, will be hitting stores shelves this week and will feature an eclectic mix of music from top artists.

With its cast of over-the-top characters, Facebreaker looks and plays like no other game on the market today and the soundtrack was developed to match. With hot bands like From First To Last, Santogold, Fujiya & Miyagi, and The Go! Team, gamers will have the perfect music to pump them up as they step into the ring and knock out their opponents.

360 - FaceBreaker - Break Peter Moore's Face Buttonmasher writes, "While previewing Face Breaker at the EA booth it was mentioned that Peter Moore's face had been scanned and entered into the game using the boxer editor. The face, which is creepily accurate, can be attached to any of the bodies and manipulated. Peter asserts that he suits a more chiseled look but the demonstration featured him as a blue monkey."
