Batman: Arkham City Will Have More Challenging 'Plus' Mode and Music Soundtrack

Posted by Babs (17357 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

This fall is a big one for both video game enthusiasts and Batman fans alike considering the release of Rocksteady and WB's Batman: Arkham City video game. While we can't speak for everyone, we are pretty sure that most Batman fans really enjoyed the first game and probably can't wait for the release of the sequel, Batman: Arkham City.

However, as good as that first game was a lot of people felt it was pretty easy to beat -- even on "hard mode;" and apparently that isn't something that had been overlooked by Batman: Arkham City game developers when they were creating the new game. According to Rocksteady's European Community Manager Sarah Wellock, Batman: Arkham City will feature an all new "game plus" mode which will be unlocked after the completion of the game in either "normal" or "hard" mode. The new "plus" mode will introduce more challenging adversaries and will make the game the second time around a bit more challenging to complete. Rocksteady revealed more details about this new "plus" mode which you can find below.

== TEASER ==

Batman: Arkham City is rated Teen and will be released on October 18th, 2011 for the Playstation 3, Microsoft Windows, OnLive, Wii U, and the X-Box 360. Are you going to be picking it up?

There will also be a soundtrack available on October 4 for you to rock out to. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, WaterTower Music and DC Entertainment have announced the album featuring new music will be available to the North American release date of the game.

Check out the track listing below:

1. Panic! At The Disco - Mercenary

2. Coheed and Cambria - Deranged

3. The Duke Spirit - Creature

4. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Shadow On The Run

5. Blaqk Audio - Afterdark

6. The Raveonettes - Oh, Stranger

7. ††† (Crosses) - The Years

8. The Damned Things - Trophy Widow

9. Daughtry - Drown In You

10. The Boxer Rebellion - Losing You

11. Serj Tankian - Total Paranoia

*Bonus Collector’s Edition track

12. A Place to Bury Strangers - In The Shadow

Um, I'm fairly sure it's not going to be rated M. The last game was T.

New game plus seems really cool. For me, the only let down is the soundtrack.

Knew about this lol.

A new game plus mode would be awesome. That was a complaint I had about the first Arkham Asylum. They make you work for all this cool stuff, but you hardly get to enjoy it all. It's just going to be so hard to choose between this and Uncharted 3.

Ok, but I really want to know about the alternate skins! So far we only know how to get them in the UK. I have to know where to preorder it so I don't end up with TDKR costume instead of the Batman Beyond one >< 
 
(This is still pretty awesome news though)

#20 Posted by The Impersonator (4253 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

...And then, there will be New Game -
If you lose to many times and can't move past chapter 1, the game will start anew. Where you'll play as Superman, can fly around, see through anything and go straight to the final boss.

Soundtrack i couldn't care about, but New game plus sounds awesome

#23 Posted by EdwardWindsor (13189 posts) - 1 year, 8 months ago - Show Bio

Game will be great , the soundtrack is terrible though.  I guess i will turn the music off at the menu and just have sound affects and voice acting.  Look foward to some hard as hell challenges

As ashamed as I am to say it I still gotta finish up the first one. When your PS3 goes out it's not exactly cheap to replace. Then finding time to play is another story. All that aside I'm getting this one for sure.

The first game was amazing (I bought it on OnLive for 69 cents!), and the second looks to be even better. I mean, it's got Tim Drake, so it's already better.
