The Club is a
third-person shooter video game developed by
Bizarre Creations and published by
Sega. The story of the game centers on The Club, an underground blood sport controlled by a wealthy elite who place their bets on who will survive the gladiatorial-style combat.
The lead designer of the game was Matt Cavanagh who described the title as "a racing game with guns". At first the game was literally a shooting gallery with limited AI. After 6 months of development a new prototype was created with an emphasis on scoring rather than narrative. The gameplay was designed before any setting and back story was created. Many publishers declined to take on the title before
Sega chose to back it.
The title was released globally on February 8, 2008. Composer
Richard Jacques wrote the score for the single player levels, Chris Chudley from
Audioantics wrote the score for the multiplayer levels, while
Jesper Kyd scored the main theme.
