Fight Club is a fighting video game based
on the 1999 film of the same name, which was
based on the novel of the same name by Chuck
Palahniuk.
It was released in 2004 by Vivendi Universal.
== Gameplay ==
The game follows the standard formula of fighting
genre games such as Street Fighter II and
Tekken.
In a side-view, players control one of two
characters who perform various fighting moves
until one is beaten.
Fight Club structures the formula around the
premise of the movie, where two men meet secretly
to fight each other into submission.
In the game, players adopt the personae of
various original characters and ones from
the novel and movie such as Tyler and Bob.
The game tries to capture the gritty feel
of the movie with injuries inflicted on players
and blood splattering everywhere, including
onto the screen.
The game tries to introduce many new features
into the fighting game genre.
There is a Hardcore mode, where injuries are
carried over from one fight to another, which
could lead to the player being so injured
that he is forced into retirement.
The game also goes into a mode showing X-rays
of the character to show bones being broken.
The fighting moves are intended to be brutally
violent, such as one where the opponent's
arm is visibly broken at the elbow.
The levels are also designed around scenes
from the movie, such as Lou's bar and Paper
Street.
There is a story mode, built around an original
character–named only Hero–who joins Fight
Club after breaking up with his girlfriend.
By winning fights, the character moves up
through the ranks of Fight Club and Project
Mayhem to become Tyler Durden's right-hand
man.
Winning Story mode also unlocks Fred Durst,
lead singer from Limp Bizkit, as a playable
character.

Reception ==
Upon release, Fight Club was met with negative
reception.
GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score
of 40.11% and 37 out of 100 for the Xbox version,
and 36.84% and 36 out of 100 for the PlayStation
2 version.The game has mostly been dismissed
by fans of the novel and film as an attempt
to milk the success of the story for commercial
gain, and was universally panned by critics
on its own merits.
Critics say the game copies too much from
other fighting games without bringing much
new to the genre, and has repetitive fighting
moves and poor animation.
GameSpot gave the Mobile version a score of
4.4 out of ten and stated that the experience
"lacks in so many ways that it's hard for
it to even hold a candle to its namesake.
The game is short, very easy, and the attack
system is needlessly diverse.
Regardless of your interest in the subject
matter, Fight Club is most definitely not
your kind of game."
IGN gave the same version a score of 6.3 out
of 10 and said that it "may only cost about
four bucks to play, but I can tell you there
are too many better ways to spend four bucks
now."
However, the same site gave its 3D version
a score of 4.1 out of 10 and stated that it
"just isn't a very good game.
The fighting mechanics are just too shallow,
and we've now seen with Brady Bunch Kung Fu
and Medieval Combat, that fun brawling is
indeed possible on a cellphone.
Couple the dull game play with some bugs,
and I cannot reasonably recommend Fight Club
to anybody, no matter how much of a Space
Monkey they are."The game failed to achieve
commercial success.
Nevertheless, Abraham Lincoln is ranked fourth
in Electronic Gaming Monthly's list of the
top ten video game politicians for his appearance
in Fight Club for the PlayStation 2.
Game Informer placed Fight Club at number
ten in a 2011 list of "Top Ten Fighting Games
We'd Like to Forget
