    Plays surprisingly well on its foundation of three schools of combat: brawler, marial artist, and grappler. Place it next to Japan's best and the game gets pummeled. [Nov 2004, p.75]

    If Tyler Durden saw you sitting on your comfy couch, and playing Fight Club (possibly over your fancypants internet connection), he would probably hit you as hard as he could. [Jan 2005, p.119]
  3. Not that spectacular a fighting game, mostly consisting of repetitive thumb-mashing and hoping you hit the target before the target hits you. The movie line that the story tries to follow is not very intriguing.
  4. 50
    The worst-case scenario is that you pick a fight with the game store clerk who let you buy this title, and get your face punched in. Then you'll be stuck with both a black eye and a crummy game.
  5. It's a flawed and shallow button masher (very few moves and no technique) but also visually alluring and reasonably entertaining for a second-tier fighting game.

    I don't know what the **** people are thinking about giving this game a bad score. I mean come on, stop being a degenerate loser. this is aI don't know what the **** people are thinking about giving this game a bad score. I mean come on, stop being a degenerate loser. this is a video game of the best movie FIGHT CLUB 1999. You must be a retard to think this isn't what people want. I love fight club 1999 because it's the best movie to ever be made and no other movie could possibly top fight club 1999. I haven't slept in 6 months, to become schizophrenic like my hero: Tyler Durden. Full Review »

    Terrible in every single way, it's obviously a scam. Unplayable. It's ironic how this game tries to capitalize from an anti-capitalistic movie lol
