    Bonfire of the Vanities completes Ezio’s memories and is, at least for now, the last DLC pack for Assassin’s Creed II. This time around Ezio is tasked with the assassination (surprise, surprise) of Girolamo Savonarola and his men. Removing Savonarola’s underlings is quite rewarding after Forli’s Cakewalk, and you get to admire the full extent of Florence, yet Bonfire of the Vanities offers nothing new. The adventure is worth its price tag, particularly if you buy the Secret Locations along with it, but nothing to exult about. [Apr 2010]

    Bonfire of the Vanities is overall a much better experience than the Battle of Forlì, however is not an essential purchase and misses the level of polish and quality of the main quest.

    Bonfire of the Vanities is far better than the first Assassin’s Creed II add-on, and it´s also a better gameplay experience because of its variety and fascinating historical context.

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. The mission's aren't so much hard as trial and error until you find the right pattern the developers wanted you to use. 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.
