Hot off the press, Sega Europe has just announced that of 9am (GMT) Tuesday 8th January, (that’s tomorrow!), an exclusive demo for The Club will be available, via download, across Europe and Australia, on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360.
This news comes a great relief to many Sega/Xbox 360 fans, as last month Sega Europe also released a demo for The Club, but only for the Playstation 3’s PSN.
Here’s the rest of the press release, for your viewing pleasure:
Developed by industry revered development studio, Bizarre Creations, The Club™ mixes cutting edge high definition visuals with hyper-addictive score based challenges to deliver the most intriguing and innovative shooter of early 2008.
The demo features:
- The Prison environment; a disused crumbling, tomb-like Federal Penitentiary, lying in a remote region of one of the less glamorous Rustbelt states.
- One playable character exclusive to the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace version of the demo (Renwick, a tough, no nonsense, NYPD Detective whose investigations brought him too close to The Club™).
- Single player modes ‘Sprint’ and ‘Time Attack’.
- Multiplayer splitscreen.
As one of eight misfit gladiators players must fight in a shadowy underground blood-sport run by a secret group of sick millionaires. Each character has their own reasons for being in The Club™ – some are there against their will, others to experience the ultimate high. Whatever their reasons what unites them is the need to kill quickly and skilfully – a challenge those who download this demo will experience first hand.
It seems that, like the PS3 version of the demo, this one is also only available in Europe and Australia. Hopefully Sega America will get off their arses and do something for the US gamers out there. But for now it feels mighty good to be in Europe ;)
Expect a full opinion, of the demo, from either myself or Ryan on the site, within the next day or so (once we’ve had a chance to actually play it).
The Club will be released across Europe on February 8th 2008 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. For more information on the game, please visit the official site.
