Additonal Info:
Developer Bizarre Creations has responded to mixed reaction surrounding the company’s forthcoming shooter, The Club, suggesting that many users have simply misunderstood the game’s concept.
Community Chief Ben Ward told Videogaming247 that he expects the title’s core emphasis on racking up high scores to "take time to resonate with certain people".
"For every person who played it and was expecting a story-driven game we found two or three people who really understood the pursuit of high-scores," explained Ward. "Already we've got a hardcore fan base building up, which is very encouraging!"
"The game is all about competing with friends for the highest score possible, and showing off your skills whilst doing it. It's something that's fairly unique in the shooter genre at the moment, and something we really believe in."
Ward also shed light on the company’s decision to tone down the amount of blood and gore in the game, in order to maintain focus on the game’s skilled-based combat, as well as avoiding unwanted attention from anti-videogame enthusiasts.
“Fundamentally the game is still about shooting lots of people”, he continued.
“We've handled this in a similar way to Hollywood action movies - it's not gratuitous or sadistic in the way it does things. Primarily the game is a gameplay-driven skill-based title, and we are hoping that anti-videogame groups will see this shine through."
The Club hits European shelves today for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a North American release following on February 19.

It sucks though. You can't argue against that.
mindless, pointless game..... and borring
psn id: gingo.... the game was very different to say the least not my type of game but point and hi score junkies will love this
i dont want to watch stupid cutscenes. i want action. and although this aint my kind of game i applaud them
@roh_sik
Never played a shooter online? It is the same thing basically.
Didn't like the demo either. Not my type of FPS, shoot for points?! quality not quantity.
I played the demo, and I understand it perfectly. It's just crap.
As ive said before its just state of emergency without the shooting of innocent people, i understand the concept, its been tried before and although state of emergency was good for what 5 minutes it just gets tedious. This just doesnt have what it takes to sit in my exclusive ps3 games pile !
I really enjoyed the demo, especially the multiplayer aspect. Its a welcome change to games that are currently in development which are heavily taking gameplay elements from eachother, atleast this attempts to break away from those gameplay cliches. The mutliplayer in the demo was genius in my opinion which I played against my friends for a heluva long time. I would buy the game if there werent so many games to get on my "to get list". So huge credit to the developers for taking the risk and breaking away from the standard shooter mechanics.
since when do department heads use the word "whilst"?
i thought the game was pretty damn awesome if you ask me
Meh, never was interested and continue my stance.
it's not so much that i don't get it, i'm all for high score games but the control system is terrible, the graphics are average, the concept is nothing new (been in loads of films) and the lack of a story puts me off...i enjoy getting engrossed in a story behind a game.
I think its gonna be a good online game id rent to see how it is tho but no one is gonna leave Call of Duty 4 for it
I have to check out the demo before I say anything yet but form the responses here its your classic top score toppler. You have to beat the best to be the best.
I played the demo, but I just couldn't stay interested in it. I'll pass on this one.
this game is SHlT
Too bad anti-videogame groups don't give 2 sh!ts about how the game looks. It's what's in it.
People dying? Uh oh. Red flag. Better have a meeting to ban this one. They should only be allowed to play Cooking Mama games. Oh wait, knives are bad. Fish In a Tank? MMO? Sounds good.
ITS A F***ing ARCADE SHOOTER!!! NOT MGS4 MY GOD!!! ITS SUPOSTU BE ADICTIVE AND HARD U speical persons GAHHh
They are right though. Even if the game does suck a lot of people seem to misunderstand the games concept. Someone here even posted its not there kind of FPS. This is a 3rd person shooter, not a first person shooter
i played the demo and for me this games §uçks big time, i hate the gameplay and not being able to jump over a small wall to save time instead of wasting time whilst going all around it is pretty lame, especially when the point of the game is to make combo's, plus the ennemy's are just to far appart, overall this game has more a ps2 feeling to it.
