Console Monster writes: "FaceBreaker from EA games is a return to the little seen arcade boxing genre, last witnessed in the Ready-To-Rumble series on the Dreamcast and Super Punch-Out on the SNES. This is cartoon fisticuffs, and couldn't get anymore removed from the realism of EA's other boxing title, Fight Night.
The game can in no way be accused of being overly complicated, there is a very simple interface presented to the player. It's a case of picking a play mode, picking a fighter, picking an opponent, picking an arena, then mashing buttons as fast as possible until the opponent is dazed, confused and badly bruised. Fights go on for three rounds; to win an opponent must be knocked down three times. Fail to do this and the game enters sudden-death mode, where the first person to get a knockdown is victorious."
The ultimate reason is both shocking and disgusting.
From the article:
"Real Steel is, believe it or not, one of the top 10 best selling games on XBox Live Arcade. Considering the prevalence of the DLC, and the number of people playing, it’s a safe bet that Real Steel has become a surprisingly steady source of income for Yukes."
So a company is continuing to update and support a popular title.
