The lost
memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
The two
downloadable expansion of Assassin’s Creed II caused quite a stir in the
internet at the time. The point of contention was that this content was already
present on the game disk and that what we were downloading was just an
unlocking code.
Now while I
honestly can understand why it did upset many people in hindsight is this that
bad? With multimillion productions like this one the game companies of course
plan their downloadable expansions quite in advance; they certainly don’t start
them after the game is shipped! The only difference here is that Ubisoft has
been upfront about it and simply put everything on the disk.
Now on to
the games itself they are a nice, if not really that exciting, addiction to the
game world. They are basically more of the same, which is certainly what you
expect with an expansion.
My only
gripe is the overreliance, mainly in “The battle of Forli” on fight sequences.
I’m sure that somewhere there is somebody who plays Assassin’s Creed for the
swordfights but the rest of us are here for the stealth killing and the parkour
style roof hooping.
In the end
they are a nice addiction to the main game but not really indispensable.
