Good - Bonfire of the Vanities is a bit rough around the edges. Ezio gets snagged on spots in the new district, and audio quality for some of the new dialogue isn't up to par, with angry mobs lacking sound effects altogether. It's the better of the two downloadable chapters, but you'll need to buy both to fully appreciate it.

Good - This is a fun little side story that lets us kill a few more bad guys in Renaissance Italy. The audio glitches are disappointing and more effort could have been put into presenting the story, but keep your expectations in check and you'll have a good time at this bonfire.

Good - It has a better assortment of missions than Battle Of Forli and is also quite a bit longer too. We certainly had an enjoyable couple of hours playing through it, but just wish a little more effort had been spent on the presentation and story to really make this an essential purchase for fans of the game.

Mediocre - Completists will certainly enjoy the three Templars' Lairs bundled alongside The Bonfire of the Vanities, but being forced to buy the accompanying memory sequence to access them leaves a bad taste in the mouth. If Ubisoft plans to release any more DLC for Assassin's Creed II, then some serious quality control is in order.

Mediocre - Bonfire of the Vanities retails for $4, though for an extra $3, you can also get bundled with it three Templar hideouts that were included in the Assassin's Creed II Collector's Edition. This downloadable add-on is an imperfect but mostly worthwhile return to one of 2009's best adventures.
