GameTrailers has posted some new footage from the upcoming Bizarre Creations arcade shooter The Club. A fast paced action game in the vein of Geometry Wars (with a few more polygons added), the game rewards players for dispatching enemies and dispatching them quickly. Featured prominently on the game's HUD is a score multiplier that increases with each successive kill. Wait too long and the multiplier drains fast. It's an interesting way to treat a third person shooter, and frankly it's a welcome change. Sometimes you don't want to bother with all that thinky-stinky stuff required by the likes of Rainbow Six and GRAW, you know? Also, given that the game's stages are really more like courses, leaderboard hogs should definitely be keeping an eye on The Club. Now where's that US demo?
Find the footage after the break.

I've been waiting for a game like this to come along. The demo kicks major ass.

A lot longer than it takes to make an UK account.

It really surprised me how good it was.
It had this very Gears of War approach and when you sprint its EXCATLY the same camera technique that is used in GOW.
Just the kind of game i could do with, no of this technical stuff, just GUN, SHOOT, KILL, great fun.

hopefully the different levels have different music in them. It's the same music on each of the vids.

Looks pretty lame. It's just shooting people, no cover, no thinking, nothing. What is the appeal of this game?

Shooting people in an arcade style? People don't *always* want to play realistic or strategic shooters (Although I almost always do want to). Also the scoring system adds a touch of depth to it.

I like to think a wide variety of games is a GOOD thing...

The appeal is that it's NOT "Typical FPS XXIV".

An interesting demo indeed. I heard from others saying it was dumb and stuff. but I was actually having a blast gunning through the prison escape level. GoW is calling!
