This is a secret section of the game unlockable by code. It
was not meant to be part of the main game, meaning they were not going
to use it as a sales point. It was referred to as a debug mode by a
member of the development team, it works well in that respect. A
debugging mode allows the programmers to test the fighting controls
and the level layouts. This code will open up 4 arenas for you to
fight in, two of them are based on actual levels (although modified
some to make it an enclosed area), the other two are all new levels.
To unlock this Arena mode enter the following, from the main menu
enter into the extras menu and enter the following code. The code is
YYW-BBY-YYY-YWB. The 'Y' is obviously the 'Y' button, 'B' and 'W'
are the black and white buttons. The code was found by a member of the
gamefaqs community and posted in the Buffy message board. He found
it in a recent Entertainment Weekly article. Once you complete an arena
you find yourself back in the extras menu with the arena options gone!
You will have to reenter the code every time you want to play a level.
This is understandable though as it is not a 'real' portion of the game.
General Rules
Each arena level has 4 colored rings, Blue, Green, Red and
Yellow (hey, that is the color of the X, A, B and Y buttons
respectively). You just walk near to one of them and hit Y (or
whatever your stake button is) to activate the ring and release the
enemies. No particular order required, just enjoy. Once you have
activated and destroyed all four rings a 'boss' comes out to pummel
you down.
If you hook up another controller a person can control the
demons on screen. On the second controller hit 'start' and the demon
will glow for a moment to indicate you have taken control of it. Now
you and your friends can fight each other. Up to four people can play
together, one controlling Buffy and the other three can take the
demons. Hitting start again seems to select between the demons on
screen, it seems random, not just moving to the closest demon.
Hitting select releases your hold on the demon
