The Dark Knight Rises Mobile Game now on iOS and Android

As every new blockbuster movie has to have a game tie-in, that’s been a rule of law since the early days of gaming. How come the recent blockbuster “The Dark Night Rises” would leave the rule behind. Gameloft released The Dark Knight Rises mobile game on iOS and Android officially.

You get an open world (Gotham) in which you can swing around or coast from place to place either playing random instances, or following along with story missions. What’s even cooler is gamers can play vigilante missions by driving the Bat-Pod or pilot The Bat to explore Gotham city.

Dozens of missions plus random events will make you feel all the thrill of being a superhero. You can deal with hostage situations, jailbreaks, car chases and more featuring different moves and cinematic effects to prove that you’re the true protector of Gotham.

The game also includes popular characters from the movie including Catwoman, Lucius Fox and Commissioner Gordon. You need to collect the items hidden within the city to unlock upgrades and new fighting skills for Batman.

The iOS version is compatible with both the iPhone and iPad, as well as the iPod touch. It’s also available on a variety of devices running Android 2.2 and higher. The app is available for $6.99 on Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store.

Oddly, this morning Gameloft had announced that 10 of its best titles were optimized for use on the Nexus 7, but when The Dark Knight Rises launched, it wasn’t compatible with Google’s new tablet. Luckily, Gameloft has already pushed an update bringing compatibility for the Nexus 7, so no more worries there.
