Its sad, that many people rated this game down only becouse they dont understand what is this game about. This is not about touching storyline and about milions of missions. Here , you are suposed to choose your character and do the best score u able to do. Many cool modes of game from defending of your position, runing laps or just find exit from map in limited time, while waves of enemies comming and trying to kill you. Game is about repeating same level until you are PRO. If you do not like this type of game dont buy it, but dont say its not good, becouse this game is awesome and unique.

False advertising.

This version DOESN'T have local multiplayer as the store page says.
Which is a shame because I remember liking this game on PS3.

The Club is actually a really fun game. Many people describe it as a racing game with guns. Many of the modes have you run through a linear course, killing enemies, and racking up combos. You also have modes where you are put in a restricted area, and you have to kill waves of enemies in a set time limit. Its some of the most addicting, and intense games I've ever played, just topping Stranglehold for me. Even the online is very fun, with surprisingly competitive team based modes.

The Club is definitely the most interesting, and difference third person shooter I've ever played. However, its got a lot of problems. Due to these fundamental issues with the game itself, plus issues specific with the PC port, I can't recommend the game.

Level Design
With the linear course events, there are areas where items like health, guns, ammo, grenades, and secret skullshots are placed. Some of these pickups are placed way off the intended path, causing you to lose your combo trying to get them. The level's routes not only are very tight, but also aren't clear at times, so you can end up running in the wrong path because certain routes weren't blocked off. Coupled with the low field of view, and imprecise player controls, it can feel like half the battle is trying to navigate the environment itself.

Lackluster Story & Characters
I understand that a game like this can't have a deep, engaging story, as its more of an arcade shooter. However, the minuscule story they give us is actually interesting, but its never explained. Characters in The Club are given the most basic, and generalizations ever, and The Club itself is just as mysterious. The Club itself, and the main heads who run, and bet on character are never shown. It feels like there was such good potential that was totally wasted.

Slow Moving Bullets
I always wondered why weapons felt so inaccurate, and then I found out that the bullets move really slow. You'll see these white tracers that I thought were just for show, but they are actually the bullets. This means that for an enemy that is moving, instead of directly aiming at them, you have aim off to the side to hit them. Enemies can literally walk out of your gunfire, its incredible how bad this is.

No FOV Slider
A FOV slider is an essentially option for third person, and first person shooters. This should be an option in all versions of the game, especially the PC port. The camera sits way too close to the character, but there is no FOV slider on for any version of the game.

Tournament System
The problem is how the points are added, and how the other characters are sorted on the system makes it very hard to catch up. 1st place gets 10 points, and goes down by 2 the rest of the way. The characters at the top of the leaderboard stay at the top if you don't get 1st, and when you do get 1st, they are still right behind you. This means that the top character is always getting the most points, making it hard to past them if you don't put in mistake free rounds. This also means that if you get 2nd, or 3rd in one of the rounds, you'll spend the rest of the game catching up to 1st again. If you are too low on the score board, you have no hope of catching up if there are only a few rounds left. Its frustrating as the system is just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ way of counting points, and organizing characters to tie it into the lackluster story.

Games for Windows Live
For many, this is the sole reason why they will not buy this game. Although I never had any major issues with GFWL, I understand why people hate it so much. There are two minor issues with this particular game when it comes to GFWL:
1. The Steam version does not come with the latest game update, so GFWL will prompt you to install the update, but fails. You have to manually install the update by just dragging, and replacing files in the game directory. You know, it would have been just easier to provide the newest update with the Steam download.
2. Don't try to find any lobbies in the 'List Play' menu, or the game will freeze, and crash. This was originally meant for when you needed Xbox Live subscription (on PC) to play games online through Games For Windows Live. This was since changed, so any multiplayer matches, if you can even get any, will work through the 'Live' option.

Mouse Sensitivity
For some reason, it is very sensitive even at the lowest in game setting, but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that when you aim down sights, your sensitivity stays the same! There is one one option to turn up or down the global sensitivity. They didn't separate like they did for the controller, where you are able to tweak the hip fire sensitivity, and aim down sights sensitivity. Meaning that when you aim down the sights, it seems that the sensitivity increased since your view is now zoomed in. The only workaround I know is using a special script in Logitech's gaming software to lower my DPI when I aim. Another simple issue that was overlooked, and never fixed.

Missing Split Screen
They removed split screen from the PC port, meaning the only way to play with friends is either through LAN, or online. If you want to play split screen, then you are going to have to get a console version. Why they would remove a feature boggles my mind.

Audio Issues
Most of the audio is delayed by 0.5, which is not an issue on the console versions. Another minor issue that could have been easily fixed. Also, indoor scenes do not have the audio echo/reverb, which is present in the console release. Another issue that should have been fixed.

Increased Game Speed
A rare glitch causes the game to run at 125% on some systems. The only known fix is using Cheat Engine to slow the game down by .75. This also happens in online multiplayer, which is a problem as it gives an advantage as you can run faster, and shoot faster than normal.

Broken Enemy Behavior
If you are playing over 30FPS, some enemy scripting will break, causing them to freeze, and jitter in place.

No Keyboard & Mouse Button Prompts
It only shows the prompts for the Xbox controller in the menus. Not only this, but some of the prompts are not assigned to keys, meaning you have to select them by clicking on them. A minor, yet very annoying when navigating the game.

The Club is an example of how a great idea, and concept was mishandled on so many levels, causing the end product to not be the game we all wanted. Maybe one day we can hope for a spiritual successor to come in, and fix the issues. For now, this is all we got, a fun game plagued with issues, and dumb ass design.

To be honest I think this game is not bad. If you go to the gunplay mode then create a huge playlist of various different events it can actually be very fun. I would say its a decent game for just passing the time on, the single player has enough to keep you going, I have never tried the multiplayer side, I also usually play this on Xbox 360 or PS3. Every time I play it on one of my gaming computers, I always seem to have a problem with the audio being very quiet, even if the volume is up full. However I would still recommend the game because I do like it. If you can get it on special offer then I would say its a nice game to have, its also made by Bizarre Creations which I think is cool.

Somewhat of an underappreciated gem, The Club is a great third-person shooter that combines aspects of old-school arcade shooters with the modern TPS games that we see so much of today, and that alone makes it worth playing.

Nope. Not unless you can get pass the Games For Windows Live issues. Specifically for me, it kept me from saving my progress cause I couldn't figure out how to sign in with my Xbox Live account. So I lost my patience with it and got my refund. Also it's another PC port where they took out the splitscreen even though the console version has it. That annoys the hell out of me.

Follow my curator page for more recommendations!

A tense arcade-y combination of score attack and third person shooter that's easily worth the $4 it's often on sale for.

There are a few issues on PC to keep in mind. ADS sensitivity isn't separated from hip-fire sensitivity (if you have a Logitech mouse you can get around this with DPI shifting when you hold RMB), multiplayer surprisingly still works but uses GFWL so it takes some fiddling, and lastly vignette and motion blur are tied to other post-processing effects. Overall nothing too major.

It's a shame Bizarre Creations is no longer with us, they made some great games that for whatever reason went under the radar like this and Blur.

Here you go, just to save you time if you dont want to read full review, look below if you want to read full review:

" The Club is Fast paced , fun and chaotic 3rd person shooter. Its all about trying to get best possible score in level. Biggest problems this game has are GFWL and Somewhat repetitive gameplay. Could still recommend for people who like old-school games and want to try something new"

General
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Club is very unique and refreshing Third-Person shooter, its not story driven game , but instead its all about the score.
You get points for each enemy you kill, depending on where you shot him, how difficult was the kill etc. You also have combo meter ticking down and each kill refreshes it and adds more combo. There are also other ways of getting combo points (shooting skull signs on the walls). So the whole point of the Game is to do stylish kills and chain them for maximum point gain. The stages also play out always the same way, requiring you to memorize enemy locations for best possible points.
There are different characters and they all have different stats (health, speed etc) , but differences are quite small and you unlock new Characters by playing Campaign.


Campaign
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Main Gamemode is Campaign, where you are taking part on these Club Bloodsport tournaments altough there isn't really much story going on here, you have AI opponents and your goal is to beat their time/score depending on the mode, sometimes you can only stay in chalked are or you will blow up, sometimes you need to reach end of level in time, but they are all essentially the same, all about score and time. This is how the campaign plays out pretty much from start to end, you have different locations where you play, prison, bunker, venezuela , factory .. etc and it brings decent enough variety to the levels. Campaign doesn't seem to be that long ,about 3-4 hrs long, without retries. But you can always try to get better time, or crank up the difficulty, which is the point of the game really.
As said, the campaign mostly plays out the same way, so it does get bit repetitive at the times, but its good in short burts

Other Modes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have also freeplay mode where you can replay all these missions and try getting better time and the game also has versus mode, but atleast i didnt get it to work.
Also worth noting is that the game does still use Games for Windows Live, which means that some players might have problems launching/playing the game. I Didnt have thoes but its been reported that this might cause problems to some.
Gfwl also seems to affect said versus/multiplayer mode and you cant play online anymore


Summary
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Fast paced, fun and hectic
+ Great level layouts
+ Varying Locations
+ Good in short bursts
- Still bit repetitive gameplay
- GFWL
- Lack of Different gamemodes

Classic third-person arcade shooter.
