The Club(Bizarre Creations)

You'll feel you just walked onto the set of an action movie.

Game Review by Dave Cook | 06 Mar 2008
The Club isn't the friendliest of establishments but it is where the thrill seekers go to get their kicks - a brutal blood sport where the wealthy watch gun-toting badasses kill each other. Each playable character handles quite differently: veteran cop Renwick is tough but don't expect him to beat you in a race, while extreme sport enthusiast Seager is a great sprinter and has a mean set of dreadlocks too. So your choice here is crucial to your play style. If you've played any number of shooters then you probably already know what yours is. So what's the point in all this savagery? The Club's season is divided into many stages and venues, such as an abandoned prison or oil tanker, and each venue contains separate events. The main mode is Sprint, a basic run along a set course and as you cap gun-wielding enemies your combo score meter builds up. This quickly depletes so you need to dash around killing everything that moves, pulling off rolling shots, head shots, long range shots and so on. Your style, accuracy and speed counts. And that is basically it. It's a score attack game, but it's testosterone levels are so high that you feel you just walked onto the set of an action movie and it has massive replay value. The graphics and audio are glossy and the ducking run is waaay better then the one in Gears of Wars. Shaky cameras...love it! [Dave Cook]
