Correct. I also remember when Spike was asked by Buffy on how he took down 2 slayers... he mentions something about she having to grab her weapon.. and then Spike changes his face and says, "I already have mine." Which makes me believe, yes, their game face does make them stronger. I noticed in a lot of fight scenes, they do at times, attempt to fight goons without it.. but once they get really pissed off and had enough.. they morph and kick more serious ass. :)
