FRANCISCO
(February

SEGA® of
America,
Inc. today
announced
that The
Club™ has
shipped to
retailers
across North
America for
the Xbox
360® video
game and
entertainment
system from
Microsoft,
the
PLAYSTATION®3
computer
entertainment
system, and
Games for

Creating a
radically
new kind of
action
experience,
The Club
combines the
shooting
genre with
the
break-neck
speed of
high-octane
race titles.
Developed by
the
award-winning
studio
Bizarre
Creations,
The Club is
an
action-shooter
that enables
players to
fight as one
of eight
uniquely
trained
killers in a
shadowy
underground
blood-sport.
The
anonymous,
obscenely
wealthy and
influential
members of
the Club
place their
bets on who
will survive
as the
bloodbath
ensues
before them.
Motivated by
greed, all
eight
characters
represent a
variety of
countries
and
backgrounds
and fight
with their
own unique
combat
techniques
in an
attempt to
stay alive
in the most
ruthless
underground
elite
fighting
club. In
addition to
the intense
single-player
experience,
The Club
also
features
eight
different
multiplayer
modes for up
to eight
players at a
time, as
well as
supporting
Microsoft’s
Xbox LIVE
and Games
for Windows
– LIVE
online
entertainment
networks.
“The Club
presents a
refreshing
twist on the
action genre
and delivers
an intense
next-gen
experience
that gamers
will never
forget,”
said Elliott
Chin,
Director of
Marketing at
SEGA. “With
a great cast
of
characters,
global
locations,
and a ton of
unique
gameplay
modes, this
club has
something
for
everyone.”

and is rated
