i bought it for my son and he says it's okay. he says it's not a keeper and that he'll probably trade it in to a used game store.

Simple but entertaining

I find this game simple (in terms of graphics, plot, character selection, etc.) and yet I continue to play it. Something about the game has appeal!

First rule of Fight Club.......DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!

I read all the reviews and thought..."how bad could it be, I mean it's Fight Club" well, let me put it this way, I only paid $7 for this game and was still pissed and felt like I was ripped off. I hated it so much!!! The moves suck and are way to hard to do, and the game is just real boring...and they sure talk about "Fight Club" and "Project Mayhem" quite openly (two things they are not supossed to talk about at all). I hope by the time you read this and all the other reviews you take our word and decide not to waste your time or money like we did...

If you love the movie, you'll hate the game...

Not horrible, but surely not good!

First off, I am more inclined to give this game a 2.5.

The only reason I purchased this game was because I had a blockbuster gift card I'd been meaning to get rid of, I'm a huge Fight Club fan, and the game itself was only 17 bucks. Many of the characters in the game indeed do not look like those in the film. For example, "Jack" (or Edward Norton) looks chubby, and Tyler (or Brad Pitt) looks like the French snowboarder from SSX. The controls are also a bit difficult to work with, but once you get the hang of it and finally memorize how to do some of the moves, it isn't so bad. I had high hopes for this game, thinking that it would at least depict the characters from the film. And besides that, the game isn't exactly something that would keep you interested for a long time.

However, I am not completely unsatisfied. Every now and then it's still sort of fun to play against a friend and see bones being broken in slow motion. Maybe if this game was made into an adventure game (like the movie) with just some fighting, it would be far more interesting.

Fight Club should not be a game

The idea of making the movie Fight Club into a game is obscene. Do not buy this product.

Horrible

This Game is horrible i wish i came on here and read other reviews before buying it...Givin the fact i bought i from EBgames for $10 i'd have to say it wasn't even worth that...there's nothing good i can say about this game..Story is very short and easy if you try to play anything else it's the same thing over and over again..They put Fred Durst in this game like He's a bad ass or something...When we all know he's just a lil bitch..i put this game on easy and noticed that the game didn't get easier they only gave me less points for beating people...All and all i can tell you like the rest have..Skip this game not even worth $10

I am a big fan of the Fight Club movie, and when I heard there was a game coming I got really excited. Finally I would play as Jack and "destroy something beautiful".
When the game came out I went to the store, took a look at the box and read that there was a Story mode, where you could fight your way into fight club...I never thought it would be so literal.
The thing is I bought the game, went home and put it in my system. It seemed pretty cool until I took a look at the fighters... only a few, and pretty cheaply done. I thought "What the hell, it's not the fact of paying some dudes to use their faces what makes a good game" I started a fight in Practice mode as Jack, and then realized that the ones that "destroyed something beautiful" were the people who made the game. Crappy moves, and the "good ones" are very hard to do.. and they're not that good.
Well, then I went to Story mode, willing to work in something like the "Latte Thunder" mission... I was wrong. A video started, and then a fight. I could've ended the whole game with my eyes closed (literally).
I took the game out of the console, put it in it's box and it has been out of it only like three times... and that's when a friend comes and wants to try it.
Moral Lesson: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

The worst online fighting game ever.........

I knew when I got this game that there was something about it despite that I did like the movie. this game really has nothing to do with the movie. the production and the way this game was put together was poor. the graphics, sound, gameplay all factor in why i have generously gave this game 1 star. I figured I didn't like the fighting style of the game and gameplay and desided to go online......... like a ghost town. nobody plays this online?? that's weird that this was just released and nobody uses the online option, could be because people are getting rid of these. stand clear of this game. This is a BIG joke!!!!

The 9th rule of Fight Club is Don't Buy The Video Game

Fight club is one of my favorite movies of all time. So, when I found out there was a video game coming out, let me tell you, I was excited. Then I rented it from the video store to try it out, and my dreams were all smashed. The game starts with a beautiful CGI cut scene that got me really pumped... only to find out the rest of the cut scenes were pictures with voiceover, minus the last one. I began playing, and found that the gameplay is terrible. Limited moves, limited control, it's just bad. When I actually started paying attention to the storyline... the only thought that came to my head is that they gave a child inflicted with Down Syndrome the movie and said "Write a plot for a video game" The characters in the game, though from the movie, hardly look like them, with only exception being Bob's chest. And after the 40 minutes it took to beat the game... sitting through the wretched thing... do you know what I get? Fred Durst? Who the hell would want to fight as Fred Durst? Give me Marla, Give me Jack's Boss, Give me the dude with the things in his head. Not Fred Durst. Terrible, Just Terrible.

Leaves the (strong) impression of being unfinished...

Okay, I'll start off saying that even though it was clear that a video game based upon Fight Club would upset a whole lot of people, I don't want to relate it to the film, because this is a video game and it doesn't have to be that close to the movie to be good. Yes, Fight Club is a cult film for many people...it is a very good film (it's not the MASTERPIECE many pretend it to be, and some people seem to have understood how it works in the world only after seeing that particular film, but still, it has good ideas, has great camerawork, acting and vehiculates some interesting values, though anyone could easily argue against the whole anti-superficial message it contains, only by mentionning the shot where we see Brad Pitt shirtless, who has exactly the same body than the Calvin Klein model he criticizes in the bus)...

Anyways, even if all those anti-society values could never be brought into a videogame, the idea of making a raw, gritty and realistic fighting game sounded pretty cool to me...until I saw the final result, which, by the way, leaves the bad aftertaste of an unfinished product.

I didn't care if it was a "disgrace" to the social issues of the movie, that was not the point at all...The first five minutes I tried it, I had done all the possible moves of one of the three fighting styles...there are really just a few...so, it got repetitive really fast. Then, I decided to try other fighters, which all happened to be exactly the same thing: either a grappler, a martial artist, or a brawler...so, you could easily say that there are only three fighters in this game.

In the story mode, the cutscenes are incredibly awful...no animations, just "pictures" with ridiculous voices and even worse dialog.

Then, I remembered some of the things that gave me so much hype for that title; the limb-breaking system, the facial deformation and ripped clothes during the fights, the blood pouring into the camera...The first one is cool...before you realize there are only three animations of limb-breaking per character (that's not bad, but I'll have to add that the animation for the arm is the same for every character, and the two other limb-breaking moves are the same for half of the fighters...the other half has two others, but they're the same too). Then, about the facial damage, it is cool, but very hard to notice and I haven't seen any ripped clothes or any blood other than on faces and bruises on the backs of fighters...that's it. As for the blood on the camera's "lens", it has a shocking effect the first time you see it, but it gets old fast.

So, for what were supposed to be innovations, it's pretty much a deception. Add to that a very limited selection of fighters (10 at first and 4 unlockable, but it equals three anyways) and awful sound effects (well, some of the sounds do give the hits an impact, but it's nothing spectacular, and sometimes there's just no sound at all!). It's almost funny: before every fight, you see your character walking towards the camera with a tough guy face and saying stuff, but you never get to hear anything, you just see their lips move...ridiculous.

In the graphics' department, Fight Club is not that bad overall...yes, the cutscenes look like crap, the characters have a very plastic feel when seen at close range, but the models look pretty good during the fights, and the menus are pretty cool...Also, one of the few "good" surprises Fight Club offers is the Survival mode (which replaces the terrible story mode, which is a pure shame that (un)fortunately takes only about 15 minutes to finish). You "create" your fighter (that means you choose between 3 body types, 3 hair colors, and three pants colors) and gain points confronting fighters one after the other, recovering only a portion of the health you've previously lost between the fights. With these points, you can upgrade one of your fighter's five attributes and get better and better...and be able to win more consecutive fights...pointless eh!? That's the best thing Fight Club has to offer...there's also a hospital, in which you can get some broken bones fixed, if you ever have any...that's about it.

Another problem with this game is the physics. Sometimes, you'll send a weak kick to your opponent, and he'll fly ten feet away from you. Also, the supposedly interactive backgrounds are pretty deceiving...there's rarely stuff breaking up, and you can't take any object and smash it on your enemy's face...nothing. Some of them look good though, but basically they're all the same, as for fighters.

The only good point is the music, which is good, moody, but, again, limited to three or four tracks...

So, how could anyone ever expect someone to pay seventy bucks for a game that has about half-an-hour of half-fun to offer...the possibilities are SO limited, it's horrible...everyone who plays this game will get tired of it on the first day...it truly is unacceptable to release such an unfinished product...this truly looks like a very first demo of a game in development that could have had potential...but no, it's in stores now, and they really were dumb enough to consider this as the final product...This is a major deception, in all departments, and I find it really upsetting to see such a mediocre and unfinished game on stores' shelves...what were they thinking when they released that and considered it as a final product?
