Developed by Bizarre Creations, The Club is a fast paced 3rd person shooter, pitting serial killers and trained assassins against each other for sport and gambling.

For those of you excited for the title, Sega revealed today all of the multiplayer modes that will be available when the game launches in February.

The eight multiplayer modes include:

Kill Match: This is a tried and tested death-match mode. The player with the most kills at the end of the gamer is the winner.

Score Match: This is a points based death match where players rack up points for kills using the same scoring mechanism which is used in the single player game. As with the single player game, the key to big scores is to combine kills into combos.

Hunted Killer: When the game begins the first player to make a kill becomes the Hunted. While hunted, a player's score ticks up constantly. Only one player can be the hunted, and if a Hunter player manages to kill the hunted, the hunted status will pass over to the killer. Becoming the hunted and surviving for as long as possible is the only way to score. The hunters are equipped with radar which shows where the hunted player is all the time. The hunted player does not have a scanner so he must keep on his toes to avoid his pursuers.

Team Kill Match: This is a regular team kill match. The team who scores the highest by killing their opponents will win.

Team Fox Hunt: In Team Fox Hunt one player on each team is assigned as the Fox. The objective is to hunt and kill the enemy team's Fox without them doing the same to yours. All players begin with the same amount of health however the fox player can use health packs dotted around the level to bring his health up to a maximum of 400%.

Team Capture: in this game mode, both teams have a base objective. The aim of the game mode is to capture the enemies' bas objective while defending your own. Bases are captur...
