More Z-list 'celebrities' infect EA's FaceBreaker photo

Previously in our FaceBreaker coverage, we reported on someone I've never heard of appearing in EA's cartoony new boxing game. Today, we're here to do it again, as yet another pair of practically anonymous scrotes are due to show up in the game too.

Who are Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt? Not a clue, but they are now part of the FaceBreaker cast. Hailing from some (probably dreadful) MTV reality TV show, they will be the latest part of EA's plan to seemingly turn a quirky sports game into an embarrassing parade of talentless bottom feeders who are famous purely for fame's own sake. 

Who will be next to join FaceBreaker? Paris Hilton? Rod Stewart's daughter? The dog from The Littlest Hobo? Well, at least with the latter, you can guarantee an element of skill and housebreaking.

I played the Facebreaker demo the other day... ugh. I hated it. Not what I was wanting or expecting at all. I'll just wait until the next Fight Night comes out.

If this was real life face-punching, I would gladly pay to land a blow on either of their pretentious, quasi-famous faces.

Um, okay. This game now sounds very less appealing to me. Will approach with great caution. Appreciate the heads up Jim.

Give me a new fight night. I played the facebreaker demo, and developed a cold sore.

I sadly know who these people are. But, that just makes me want to murder their faces so hard in this game.

At first I was like "Come on!" but now I think I get it. EA is purposefully putting people into the game that we all hate and actually have a desire to beat the fuck out of (ie pretty much every reality star......excluding Jon of course). It's kind of ingenious actually.

hopefully they're in the custom characters part like peter moore was in the demo so that you can delete the bastards.

I dunno, the ability to punch the shit out of Paris Hilton IS appealing

Paris Hilton + No fighting-back AI = Sale.

Heidi Montag is supposed to be hot or something. That's all I know.

I like the idea of being able to wallop all these "celebrities" in the face but even puting them in the game will just inflate their untalented egos

Bet their google rating goes up though becuase of this er... news?

From the first page of results, she is some MTV thing... Still no idea what he *does/did/who he did* and meh, can not be bothered finding out...

Was semi-interested in this when first mentioned, now, meh... If they are trading on the characters then not looking good...

I got to say I have played the Facebreaker Demo and I really hate the game. I played it on easy and could not get a knockdown. I was expecting a fun arcade style boxing, kind of like Virtua Tennis is compared to Top Spin. Easy to pick up and put down, fun, but still somewhat real. This game is none of these and since it seems that all the E! channel is going to be in the game, I am not going to be picking this game up. Nice job Mr. Moore, way to ruin another game. Wait this is EA we are talking about so I should not be surprised.

PS. Kim Kardashian is not hot, she is an overweight boring whore, now Kourtney Kardashian is another story all together.

My biggest worry is that people who are fans of these people will buy this game now. Do you realise what kind of douchebags we'll have to play against online?

I'm so glad you don't know who they are. Once you know, it can never be unlearned. NEVER!

Being able to fuck Spencer Pratt up in a game is cool as fuck, honestly....now add the rest of those tools from The Hills, Tailor Made from I Love New York, and the ENTIRE cast from every Flavor of Love, and I'm sold. Greatest Muthafucking Boxing Game EVAR.

I played the demo & it was just not fun.

The controls were extremely simple, there was no strategy or depth at all. Literally a monkey could play this game to it's peak potential.

I hope hope HOPE this is not a sign of Fight Night Round 4.

Too Much Coffee Man said it all. Tho being able to put your face into the game was nice, the gameplay just doesn't click.

Boy, they really don't have any ideas for new characters that they have to use real people and hope no one has heard of them.

Keep this bullshit away from Fight Night, and it'll be okay.
