In a rare occurrence, a demo has come to the Xbox Live Marketplace a week after its release on the PlayStation Network! I know, calm down, the wait wasn’t for nothing- this version is better! Sega and Bizarre Creation’s arcade shooter "The Club", which has such a bizarre premise for a storyline that I’ll let you figure it out, has dropped an "exclusive" demo onto Live.

Featuring the character Renwick, "a tough, no nonsense, NYPD Detective whose investigations brought him too close to The Club", you’ll venture through the Prison course, where you can take advantage of both single player ( Sprint and Time Attack) as well as Multiplayer( split- screen). The demo arrives at 9 a.m. GMT tomorrow morning( it should arrive for U.S. Gold users as well), so be sure to check it out.

Press release is included after the jump.

"SEGA to Release Exclusive "Renwick" version of Demo for Intense Action-Packed Shooter, The Club, on Xbox LIVE MarketplaceLONDON (January 7th, 2008) – SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that from 9 a.m. GMT on Tuesday 8th January, an exclusive demo for the exciting new shooter, The Club™ will be available via download across Europe and Australia on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

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 split-screen.

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.

UK Official Xbox 360 Magazine – "The rules of The Club are simple: you cannot break your stride. You cannot stop. You must be the perfect killing machine. This is Space Invaders for the Quentin Tarantino generation. Welcome to heaven."
