The Club - hands-on
Sega's super-sharp shooter
Dec 21, 2007
In any shooter, headshots are everything. The more the better, the faster the better - but rarely, other than a quicker kill, are you actually rewarded for it in any noticeable way. In The Club, things are completely different.
The basic idea is simple. Go from one point to the other, killing as many people as you can, as fast as possible. Every kill you make brings up a little timer, kill again in that time and you’ll start a combo, kill again in that time and your combo (and score multiplier) gets bigger. Kill again and again with successive headshots and you’ll see your score go through the roof.
