A few weeks after its successful launch, Ubisoft has announced two bits of downloadable content coming to Assassin's Creed II in early 2010.
The first is "Battle of Forli," which will be available in January. It will be followed by "Bonfire of the Vanities," which will be available for download in February. Ubisoft has provided little details about the pieces of content, each of which will presumably tie in with the real-life historical events.
No pricing has been revealed, either, but Ubisoft would like you to know that you should keep "a minimum of 1.0 GB of memory available for each DLC." Start cleaning all of that naughty stuff off of your 360 and PS3 HDDs now, folks.

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
I can't quite guess what the other pack refers to.
Totally agree. The lack of ability to replay missions is such a glaring flaw that you'd think they would at least fix it as part of the DLC. No way I'm picking these up otherwise.
Rent It
Wait
At the end of the day, reviews should always be a guide and nothing more. I can't wait for the DLC.
In AC1, you could go back and replay completed story missions. In AC2, you can't. Only side quests can be replayed.
So if you liked that one story mission that was 15 hours into the game, the only way to replay it is to start a new game and replay the previous 15 hours all over again. It's a rather big deterrent...
Plus, I only surf through the front page, so I'm commenting when the game came up. Not sure why I wasted your time with those needless details other than I enjoy the God like power of knowing I stole a piece of your life, if even for a second.
But enough about my meglomania. Anyone still on the fence for AC2, all those glitches or weird control issues Jim talked about? All accurate. It's there and as bad as he said.
And the game is buggy as hell and froze on me three times so far with the 360 version with it downloaded onto the hard drive.
BUT, anyone into story, Jim's wrong on that (don't tell me opinions can't be wrong. Any not the same as mine are always wrong). There is a very deep and well thought out plot and great way of giving you bits and pieces on your own. It rips off De Vinci code a bit, but good stuff still.
And for all the gameplay glitches, it also has much bigger cities that look great and have variety, to an extent, and lots more to do and despite the occasional Tourettes brought on by bullsh*t control defect dying moments, it's still alot of fun and much, much better than the first game. Anyone into Prince Of Persia should come away happy and seeing it through to the end.
And you have to believe all this is an acurate accessment, because I'm the truth. And the truth is absolute. Yeah, there's that meglo poking out again.
And on a last, related to actual article note, I'm psyched for the download stuff. 2 gigs of stuff, that's like a quarter the size of the entire game! Whole new cities for me to kill whores in.
And I'm not sorry I rambled on and on, but I will tell you the reason. 24 pack of Dr. Pepper and no sleep in the last 53 hours.
I wish I were a meth addict. Because staying awake without drugs is friggin' hard.
And ending back on an Ass Creed note, how weird is it that when deliriously tired, I have played better and more flawless in AC2 than at any time I was rested.
So there's your secret. Play half asleep and it's an amazing game! Which likely isn't the endorsement Ubisoft would like to run on the back of the box.
Good DLC is awesome and takes the place of expansion packs. Bad DLC is horribly and I can't believe people buy it.
The key: support good DLC, quality and lengthy DLC, and do not support the rest.
I'm playing it on my 360 and haven't experienced any control issues other than my own occasional dumb mistake, which is probably the control issues mentioned.
Also, I have a question regarding the ps3 version. I seem to remember hearing the first AC crashed a lot on the ps3 as well as artifacting, so I got AC2 for my 360 instead of my ps3. Does it have any of those previous issues?
from wikipedia: "Assassin's Creed II: Discovery takes place during the gap in Ezio's memories which are not explored in Assassin's Creed II. It follows Ezio as he travels to 15th century Spain to free his fellow Assassins, who have been imprisoned under the guise of the Spanish Inquisition. In the process, he discovers that the Knights Templar are planning to sail west to discover the New World."
