The Club (Xbox 360)

Advantages: Old School, Interesting Concept, Great for score-obsessives
Disadvantages: Generic, Repetitive, Shallow, Boring if you're not obsessed about scores

The Club (Xbox 360) A very marmite game. In the Club, you play as various characters fighting it out in a crazy high-adrenaline blood-sport called The Club, where you run killing people using a combo system where stylish kills and speed are rewarded in better scores. An interesting concept and a hark back to high score battles of old, but a fairly shallow experience overall. "Story" You take control of a variety of characters, from ...
...who's gone beyond the law to take the Club down and Seager (a crazy Candian-adrenaline junkie) The story is cheesy but fairly interesting in a bad 80's film kinda way. Cut-scenes show the progression and provide a little character development, but it's mainly window-dressing to the main game. "Gameplay" You control your chosen club participant around a course where you gun down generic enemies who have the gall to stand in one spot and shoot at ... Read review

Advantages: The fact I rented it and could give it back
Disadvantages: Linear Gameplay, Poor Graphics.

The Club Developer: Bizzare Creations Publisher: Sega. Certificate: 15. Before this game came out Sega were saying it was going to have the gameplay of Unreal Tournament. So it sounded not too bad. Previews said that the games story was about a underground club who pitted people against each other to try and survive as long as possible while working your way up the ladder. The gameplay tells a different story. The enemys are always in the same ...
...you and try killing you. The maps are really not fun at all. Each map has 6 rounds, consisting of Sprint which sees you legging it to the end of the level before the clock runs out and while keeping a combo/score multiplier running by killing enemys and shooting at secret signs on walls. In Time Attack you earn seconds per kill, while running through the same map in 'Laps', In Siege you must hold a location on the map for a set period of time, And ... Read review

Advantages: Points scoring system makes you play through again. A new taking on the shooting genre.
Disadvantages: Can get repetetive and is best played in short bursts over a few weeks

...be a fresh take on the shooting game genre, run and gun action with the fast paced speed of racing games. This game encourages you to go in all guns blazing because the more kills you make, the more points you score and you will be forever trying to beat the top score. You choose from one of eight characters, all differing in style, and play through eight levels (like Venice, Steel Mill, Warehouse, etc) brimming with enemy cannon fodder. The score ...
...which are timed to keep the pace going. Siege and Survivor are about surviving an enemy onslaught whilst run the another mode as you complete timed laps with a checkpoint system. It is best to play the main tournament on easy mode and then work up to "insane" as you master multiple combo kills. This game is repetetive and might not have much depth, but beating high scores makes it addictive and challenging. Whats more, the game runs very smoothly ... Read review

Advantages: -10 minutes of fun-
Disadvantages: online and story play is a let down. a BIG one

...leaderboards 17 differnt weapons The game is about undergorund networks of corrupt and seriously sick buisness men who fund and gamble upon the *Worlds* most leathel Bloodsport. What you do in the game is make sure you score the highest points, and to score the highest points you need too kill people. Sound good doesnt it :) Well it really aint. The story mode is nothing like it sounds. At first i was stuck on the practice mission for 2 hours. ...
...play is 2/10 due to the fact you cant talk online, or atleast no1 talks. Many people glitch and use cheats. Many people are agressive and use vulgar language. This is why i am going to give this game, and remember this is my opion, you could like this game. 3/10 If youre a FPS fan, then you are better buying Call of Duty 4 or Rainbow 6 V2 Thx for your time and your comments are appreciated ...
