The Club video review

For most people, The Club exists only as an urban legend – a game where criminals are paid huge amounts to carry out gunfights and where online spectators view, gamble and cheer them on in a deadly game of skill. Yet the rumours are true. People are getting rich. People are dying. The first task is to survive, but according to their rules - quickly, relentlessly and with style…

Players choose between eight unique fighters, each with their own combat style and agendas, as they travel the globe in a series of visceral urban battlefields. In addition to a variety of single-player scenarios, The Club boasts an array of multiplayer options to satisfy even the most discerning action aficionado.

Is this club worth the price of admission? Find out in The Club video review.


To quote the video review: “How often during a session of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater have you wanted to continue your killer combo with a little bit of, well, killing? There’s a little something between the visceral lust for violence and that of racking up a big score, and The Club attempts to interlink the two, directly, and non-stop.

The Club comes across looking pretty good, if a little plastic. The character designs look a bit like comic book characters, and the bookend CG sequences are brief and superfluous considering the non-plot. Enemy death throes and explosions are nice, with no slowdown, and the sound is dead-on with meaty thumps and colorful expletives expelled those who are about to die. Load times are the biggest culprit, breaking up the action, which is all The Club is.

The Club is a lot like junk food—it initially tastes good but it won’t leave you satisfied for long. Riding a 20-chain combo will get the adrenaline pumping, but putting in the time to memorize a level and climb the leader board ultimately never feels worth it. The Club is destined for waning interest after the honeymoon is over, and at $60, it’s one pricey membership.”
