A very original take on shooters. An addictive arcade-style blast for score junkies. [Feb 2008, p.66]

It's a one-trick pony, true. Yet does that even matter when the trick is this damn good? Of course it doesn't. Just buckle up, enjoy the ride and hang on for your life. [Feb 2008, p.92]

You may love it, you may hate it, but for those with the skill and dedication, it's a shooter like no other. [Feb 2008, p.72]

The Club is a pretty good shooter. The game is very arcadey,with certain point goals needed to progress in the game.Killing enemies rapidly and shooting skullshots earns you points. The gameplay is great,with smart AI,over the top action where you just kill every f*cker you **** level design is decent,but the game gives you no clue which direction you are headed in,which led to a few frustrating restarts. The graphics are decent,with a very rare hitch in framerate. The sound design and soundtrack are decent. Overall,The Club is a solid game that is worth giving a try

A very entertaining arcade shooter, no discernible plot but it certainly is fun, think brink but third person with less polish. The game controls well except for the painfully slow movement when you need to do a 360 turn and the terrible melee system. Stylized graphics mean it doesn't look dated. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game and can see the appeal in trying to improve on your scores and work through the different difficulties, but personally I have a lot of better story driven games still in need of playing so this one is being retired.

This game isn't bad, but it isn't good either. Forgettable characters, no real story line, just a shooting competition. No multiplayer. Replayability isn't there, stay away from this game. I love shooters and this one is different, but sometimes different doesn't equate to good.

The high replay value is central to The Club’s game play mechanic, as is the ability to play online with other people. Perfectly suited to those late night, competitive sessions where you fight to achieve the highest score.

If you’re looking for a fun, super fast paced shooter this game is for you, but if you’re looking for something with a little more depth then maybe consider this a rental.

Anyone with an appreciation for old school arcade games will have a blast with The Club. Just remember to leave your brain with the doorman.

If you are looking for a game which offers fast paced combat and you are of the competitive type, then The Club is most certainly well worth a look.

The Club is a lot like junk food—it initially tastes good but it won’t leave you satisfied for long.

Bizarre Creations delivers a different kind of shooter that will attract a specific kind of gamer. The boring setting and combo-system don't bring this game to the absolute top, but the addicting gameplay makes up a lot. If they put more effort in a possible sequel, it might become a classic in this new subgenre.

This is one club people might not want to join. [Mar 2008, p.58]

SummaryThe Club is a new breed of third-person shooter, combining fast-paced run and gun gameplay, destructive environments, lethal weapons and an in-depth story structure. You will fight to survive in a shadowy underground blood-sport controlled by a faceless, obscenely wealthy and influential elite who place their bets on who will survive as ... Read More
