Please note that The Club demo is not available for all EU countries.

I live in Denmark but had to download the demo using my UK PSN account.

For all of you who already have Stardust. Erase it from your PS3 and download it again for a new patch, future multiplayer, direct online store in-game. custom soundtrack and more.

i though if you downloaded the demo and upgrade then it would automatically upgrade the existing version. I downloaded the demo and it never appeared as a demo, it just updated the title...... if any of that makes sense

I can't believe Sony has had a purchaseable Snakeball game hidden in the EU store for a week... what the hell?!

Whilst The Club is a multi-platform title and I thought it was pretty interesting that Bizarre Creation (formerly virtually MS platform exclusive) is seeing the demo of their next new IP on Sony's PSN first?

A scoop in a way as most of demos to date have appeared on XBL first, but expect to see far more balanced advantages for XBL and PSN this year!

Had a good blast and can see the potential of this working as it do feel PGR in some bits, but yes potential for being repetitive. Its worked fine in racing games, where you try to trim the seconds off best lap or to do better kudos point.

But in FPS where you know when the targets going to be, then just memorising your way as you blasting round? Will it still be fun? That is the question I m keen to explore and hope Bizarre Creation got the balance nailed.

i did enjoy the club demo tho, to me it seemed somewhat like stuntman but shooting through a scene instead of driving through one.

This seems to have potential, although the controls need to be more tight.

I'll wait for the review on this one.

NO! >:(

When I tried the demo, then clicked on buy me now £4.99 popped up and I could buy it through the store, the whole damn game got launched.

I was sitting there in shock, how could Sony stealthly put up Snakeball like that after advertising it so much?

'The Club' is an arcadey fps.It seems like all the enemies are super-stupid while you gambole around everywhere trying to shoot heads for maximum points like a kudos system in a certain racer we all know.
For me it doesn't work.It was a fun demo for 5 minutes,then feels ultra-repetetive.
One for the bargain basement bin perhaps.

yep, it seems as if the German Store gets everything when the rest of the world doesen't want it anymore. I'm really a little disapointed how the German store gets updated. No Snakeball, no Club Demos, no every day shooter, no PAIN. All we get are some Demos after the game is released for 40 days and already purchased.
I mean I'm happy that they don't release everything at one time, imagine how to play it all, but a little more equal to other stores wouldn't hurt.
