DLC Review: Assassin’s Creed 2 – The Battle of Forli & Bonfire of the Vanities

Game: Assassin’s Creed 2: The Battle of Forli & Bonfire of the Vanities & Secret Locations
Format: 360, PS3
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series has a love-hate relationship with me. I was not the only one who to put it quite mildly, didn’t like the first instalment (my review of it can be found here: http://rt.nu/_d74sc) as despite it’s huge sales, every games critic under the sun gave it the good hard bashing it rightfully deserved. To my surprise then that last year Assassin’s Creed 2 released and not only did it garner huge sales, but this time it was good. Very VERY good in fact, a gargantuan improvement on it’s predecessor and subsequently it ended up being my personal game of the year (although I was out voted in The Newb Review “Game of The Year” awards, article found here: http://rt.nu/boju5y, by about a quadrillion to one).

So naturally, since I enjoyed the game so much I’ve decided to splash out on the 2 brand new(ish) DLC packs. Sequence 12, The Battle of Forli and Sequence 13, Bonfire of the Vanities & Secret Locations. Are they worth the money? Well, hold on…I’m getting onto that bit now.
