Pick up and Punch - A hyper-intuitive, gesture-based control scheme developed with 1:1 responsiveness and approachability in mind. Grab the Wiimote and Nunchuck and feel the deep satisfaction of stringing together mug shots, body blows, and bone crushing Breakers. Dodge and Parry your opponent's attacks and then unload on them with the Grand Daddy of them all... the FaceBreaker. Brawl for It All - Throw your hat in the ring for the most extremely extreme boxing tournament of all time! Put your skills to the test in this single player experience where you battle past every character in the game, earning belts, characters, costumes - and ultimate glory - along the way. It ain’t called Brawl for it All for nuthin'. Mess up yo' Face - After you beat your opponent to the mat add the ultimate humiliation by using your Wii Remote to brand. [Electronic Arts]

IGN
It's a slick looking game, can be great for any type of gamer against each other, but won't ever push into that upper-tier of must-have, must-play titles on Wii. If it's about being a party game, FaceBreaker succeeds, but is shallow in a "mindless fun" kind of way.

Facebreaker K.O. Party is a bit of a let down, it should have improved on the Xbox 360 version but the controllers do not add anything, in fact they make the game a bit worse.

You can find much better fighting games for Wii. [Dec 2008, p.93]
