We review Assassin's Creed 2's first DLC pack "Battle for Forli". Originally cut from the game due to time constraints, according to the developers, it could have just stayed on the cutting room floor for our tastes.

The term “battle” is a little misleading. While the dev team have obviously tried to instill Forli with an urban battlefield feel, and keep the environment constant by bookending the majority of the missions, it doesn’t really work. Packs of Orsi’s men roam the streets in red, fighting with green-clad supporters of Sforza, but in amongst it are all the city’s usual denizens. Packs of mercenaries loiter around for you to hire, and heralds waffle on to the pitched battle warning them against assassins.
