The Club has 4 difficulty settings: Casual, Wreckless, Insane and Real.
In this third person shooter the idea is to score as many points as possible in the 49 events. The best way to do this is to try and string kills together in quick succession to build up your combo multiplier, this will ensure each kill is multplied by your current combo number. The killbar is constantly ticking so you have to make sure your quick to get kills in otherwise once the killbar drains down, so do your multipliers.

The points you earn for kills can vary widely as where you hit plays a vital role in how many points you get. Finishing with as much health as possible will also ensure more points.
Awards are earned when you perform kills with a certain style:
Headshot
Headshot Heaven
Rico-slay
Last Bullet
Gate crasher
Penetrator
Snap Shot
Death Roll
Multi-Kill Explosion
Great Shot
Crack Shot
You will also get a Bonus Enemy that is released that you have to try and kill which will give a serious amount of points.
Skullshots - These are yellow signs that hang in various places throughout an event, by shooting these you will gain points and it will refill your killbar allowing you more time to get another kill in.
Secret Skullshots - These are hidden through out events and do not give you anything but a achievement should you get all of them.
Weaponry- The are a wide range of weaponry in this game such as:
Pistols
Shotguns
Sub-Machine Guns
Assault Rifles
Rocket Launcher
Mini-Gun
Gameplay 9/10 - The gameplay is very similar to that of Gears of War, third person run and shoot but there really is not much cover. You cant just go for cover and pick off people as you have you keep going to keep your killbar up. So this game really relies on speed and accuracy. It also has good replay value as there are many ways you garner points and there is so much that you have to obtain with events. The controls in the game are pretty straight forward and simple. But don't expect any sort of story mode with this game, it's gives you snippets of info on the characters themselves but thats it, don't expect anything deep. All in all though it's gives a unique and fresh aspect to shooters.

Graphics 8.5/10 - The graphics are good but nothing too special.

Sound 7/10 - Nothing special here but also nothing that will make you pull your hair out while playing.
Replay Value 9/10 - The game has exceptional repaly value, you will find that you will need to rethink your strategy on how you score points as there are a lot of factors. The events on each level have their own spin on how you have to play it such as Sprint, Siege, Survivor, Time Attack and Run the Gauntlet, but as you go up difficulty levels they pour on more enemies and lessen your time. Then you have either Single Play, Tournement, Gunplay and Online Multiplayer to choose from.
