 review August 2, 2008
The club is a great visually challenging game. This is the first time I had played a game of this kind. It is not exactly a first person shooter even though it plays like one. The synopsis of the game is this: A group of men( the toughest, roughest and deadliest) are captured and put in a prison type holding. You have to select the guy you want to use in each of the competition areas. You earn points but maneuvers you do while shooting the bad guys in the level to get to the exit. Although I played on the easiest level, I found the game still challenging. There are 3 other difficulty levels to play on. Even though you can play single player games, this game was meant for multi player. There are plenty of levels(48) in all to keep you guessing. Overall, I didn't think the game was all that bad. If you are a hard core gamer, or interested in this game, this is the game for you.

I bought this game about a month ago and is a very fun game to play with. The campaign is the most challenging part of the game the only bad thing is that no one is Windows Live. If there where people on Windows Live we can get achievments more faster than the campaign. I didn't have any problems installing this game on my computer with Windows Vista; however, the install does take some time to install on the computer harddrive. I have a Intel Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading technology and workd nicely, but would work with better performace if you had a Intel Core 2 Quad or Intel Core 2 Extrem proseser.

Something not mentioned enough during the Writer's Guild strike was that the difference between the (deservedly successful) TERMINATOR 2 and the (deservedly flopped) LAST ACTION HERO was their writing. One can have all the star power possible, manage to incorporate a mega-explosion every 93sec, enjoy more hype that can be handled - and yet fail to sell even matinees tickets if the writing is not up to par.
Games are not that different. Visually and graphically beautiful games can fall flat on their face if not backed by a good story - see DAWN OF MAGIC and DUNGEON SIEGE II. THE CLUB suffers not from story problems - because it...does not pretend to have one worth mentioning.
In this Third-Person Shooter one fights to survive the blood-sport organized by an elitist club of uber-rich. Assuming one of 8 characters (each with his own story that led him to bloodlust), with an interesting arsenal at his disposal, this is a cross between a shooter and a racing game: unless you keep shooting at (and hitting) your targets your bonus multipliers drop fast. Unless you gain enough bonuses to augment your effectiveness, there is no chance to win.
Similar to most fast-paced shooters, there are 5 single player game modes: Standard, Time Attack, Survivor, Siege, and Run the Gauntlet. Sure, all concepts have been done to death ever since UT2003 - but that is not THE CLUB's main problem.
Games are not exactly the same as movies. Writing is important but if the gameplay suffers, the whole effort is in vain. THE CLUB is another game clumsily ported from the XBOX. Similar to the GEARS OF WAR, the controls do not work well on a PC. Moreover, the environments are well-made and mostly interactive (a-la STRANGEHOLD manner) but this, in effect, fails to add anything to the game.
This is a game that aimed to create an online multiplayer following. If UNREAL TOURNAMENT III, a much better game, failed to do so, one can imagine what chances THE CLUB has...
