Re: The Club: Review Thread

I'm loving this game to bits.

I've just completed the Tournament Round, and have now unlocked most of the areas to allow me to play single player and Gun Play. I've not yet configured the Gun Play, but will have a fiddle with that tonight.

Graphics could be better, game sometimes becomes repetative and again a compass or enemy indicator would be an advantage as you havent got a clue where half od the enemies are firing from. A quick turn around will see half a dozen or so enemies to quickly wipe out.

Can't wait to be able to play this one on-line as I have been building up some decent scores.

So....just an 8 for me, maybe a 9 if the graphics and variety in gameplay were better.

Thumbs up Re: The Club: Review Thread

just picked this up for 20 quid (plus a 1 pound purchase) at game (apparently this offer is only on this week) and I'm loving it - finding it VERY morish, 5 single player modes, 8 different online gametypes and great for pick up and play, also split screen. I was a bit miffed when I first played the demo but now I get it I get it I get it.

It's not a game I was planning to buy, but for 20 quid, it's top - the price we're willing to pay is all about what we get out of it I guess and I can see myself playing this regularly - I know at least one friend will grab it which ups the value of it for me.

Like some reviews say if you look at it like a racer rather than a traditional third person shooter - there's no real story it's all about high score combos, learning the 'course/track', beating the next man...and finishing quickly.

I definitely recommend this if you can grab it for 20 ..just got that 'one more time' gameplay but I understand it won't be everyone's cuppa...

No it's on offer both online and in store. You have to add both the game and something else to your cart before the discount is given and shows up.

Re: The Club PS3 Reviews

I totally love it - great gameplay, old-school hi-score attacks!

Game genuinely makes your heart race, good graphics, nice sound etc.

Things that let it down are the melee attacks which are TERRIBLE! Feels like swiping at someone with a cotton-bud. Considering how gritty the rest of the game is, this could have been stuff like breaking necks etc.

Other than that, great pick-up and play... an 8!

Re: The Club PS3 Reviews

This is one of my favorite games. I would easily rate it in my top 10 possibly top 5.

People on hotukdeals when it was going for £5/£10 at comet were saying it was rubbish and not worth this .

It almost seems like I am playing a different game to them. Just bought a PS3 and it was in my top 3 must purchases over two consoles (games I already own for my Xbox360 but wanted for my PS3 - probably a wired stance in itself, the other games were Ninja Gaiden Sigma which I own in Black form, and GTA4).

Just bought it brand new for my new PS3 for £9 on ebay and arrived today and am playing now, just waiting for more people to join an online death match.

Voted a 9 but its more a 8.5, but rounded it up as opposed to down.

Re: The Club PS3 Reviews

Its a nice little shooter. For me it is badly let down by no AI bots, and (AFAIK) no ability to join in online if you are playing split screen. Team matches without comms are always going to be a dodgy affair IMO but the online solo (ie all against each other) stuff has the potential to be superb.

I think Gamespot gave it a 7 and the only negatives were things like "tinny gunfire noises" - which as that wasn't going to bother me I basically read it as perfect. It's far from that, but very entertaining nonetheless, some of the higher score combos are completely mad.

8/10

Bought mine for £6.99 delivered @ thegamecollection if anyone is after a cheap copy (Still going for around a tenner on ebay)
