    The Bonfire of the Vanities drives us back to the madness of the religious censorship. Our hero Ezio Auditore will face Girolamo Savonarola, the monk who has stolen the Fruit of Eden. Again a new chapter that has been taken from the original game. Although it would be interesting to play The Bonfire of the Vanities and Battle of Forli along with the rest of the game, we find no reason to buy it as a stand alone addition.

Its in-line with the regular game, so I MUST complete this now, apparently. It is a package of mostly instant-fail stealth missions. You know, the type of mission that is the worst thing the video game industry has ever come up with.

And even when you figure it out, half the time the game's wonky controls will make you jump off a ledge for no reason. I highly recommend you do not install this piece of trash.… Full Review »

    Quite interesting DLC: long, with nine kills that can be completed in various ways, just as the original AC. I really enjoy it.
