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 the blood-bath ensues before them. Take control of up to eight uniquely trained killers motivated by greed, driven by pure insane bloodlust, and hell bent on earning respect on a global level. As one of eight fighters, blast your way through five single player game modes including: Standard Mode, Time Attack, Survivor, Siege, and Run the Gauntlet. Earn Respect Online.

Face-off with 15 real-time opponents online or battle with your friends offline in 4-player split-screen action modes.

Extreme Gun Battles in Hazardous Environments: A motion blur camera system intensifies the adrenaline rush in both open range and close quarter firefights.

"It’s a one-off that mostly succeeds, but by concentrating only on function and never on form, it denies itself greatness. If the Club 2, should there be one, can stop to laugh at itself occasionally, it’ll be a far finer game." ... Read full review

It seems like reviewers who gives bad reviews for "The Club" judge the score they gives base on the fact that they do not like the arcade style of the game. You cannot rate a game on the fact that you do not like this type of game. This game is awesome, it's well done, it's pure adrenaline rush, it's full of fun. Read the good reviews and base your decision on them, it's a great game. If you like fast pace arcade 3rd shooter game at home, "The Club" is the game you want. Good job to Bizarre Creations & SEGA.… Expand

Really, really fun multiplayer. This game has gotten mediocre reviews for being too similar to a bunch of other fun games, something I'veReally, really fun multiplayer. This game has gotten mediocre reviews for being too similar to a bunch of other fun games, something I've never understood. Two fun games is better than one fun game. You can't give one game good reviews and whine and complain when an identical game comes along later. Also, the graphics look great on my TV, maybe those who are complaining don't have the right equipment to take advantage of the PS3. The game advertises 48 single-player levels, so if I ever stop playing multiplayer with my friends I should still have enough to entertain me for a couple of days.… Expand

The game is a solid arcade shooter with a different levels of challenge, from "casual" to "real", and they do a great job in keeping the game fresh offering a good challenge. Try the demo, and see that chase camera, see the game flow, see the graphics and then decide. I bought this game for cheap and I don't regret it.… Expand

This game looks very good at he first moment it start. The music and clips at the beginning and intro's are very explosive. The gameplay This game looks very good at he first moment it start. The music and clips at the beginning and intro's are very explosive. The gameplay was not what I expected. The game control and movement feels like i was playing the old game "freedom Fighters" on the Gamecube/Xbox. The levels are some kind nice but also old skool and dull. The buttons are not on place, where you expected them but ofcourse yo can chance that. I run like crazy and run to enemies an shoot them close and move further, so it is easy to complet a level. So strategy wise, nothing news and lame. for 25-30 euro maybe a nice budget game , so wait for this one.… Expand

Like all recent release of Sega games. Nothing new or inventive here. The gameplay gets boring quick.
