美服出来有四五天了，但一直没来得及下载，只好借gs的review用一下了，见谅。

自己的翻译如下，没有逐字逐句译了，尽量做到没有剧透。
好的方面：
??终于可以看到漂亮的Caterina Sforza了；
??延长了游戏长度；
??有些对话非常精彩，配音也很棒。
坏的方面：
??特殊记忆部分有点无聊；
??打乱了原有的叙事；
??一些新的小发明比较无趣。
玩了AC2的朋友应该都注意到有两个场景没有被包含到原版游戏里，而这次的Battle of Forli就是其中之一。但无论你有没有按游戏原有的顺序玩，这个小dlc都感觉不是那么值。虽然只要4美元，而且有差不多一个小时的游戏内容，但对于广大AC爱好者来说，可能还是会有些失望。战斗还凑合，重点是玩家在大部分时间里都是和美丽的Caterina Sforza一起。
对于还没有通关过AC2的朋友来说，这个新场景要到游戏的后期才能进入，具体一点是11章以后了。原版AC2的剧情叙述在这里有一个很大的跳跃。这个dlc算是填了这个缺，但同时也让结局显得不那么震撼，所谓有利有弊吧。当然如果玩家已经通关过一次被震撼过了，那就无所谓咯。新加的对话和配音效果都很不错，还有一些很让人称道的小任务。但除此之外，剩下的内容就有点无聊了。
dlc的前1/3基本上都是在战斗，战斗本身挺好玩的，但是没有太大挑战。而且在大混战中我们的主角的一些常用伎俩也不是很方便使出来。接下来的内容就和原版的差不多，救人，追逐等等。和原版相比，这里的战斗要更加混乱一些。
另外值得一提的是加入了一段特殊回忆，是关于达芬奇的飞行器的。但是dlc里面并没有非要用到飞行器的任务，以至于飞行器在这里看上去就像个摆设了。而且没有原版里别的地方那么好的风景，飞起来也似乎没啥乐趣。那么这个飞行器到底是从哪来，要干啥的呢，不知道…… 还有就是，这个dlc没有任何相关的成就，不过也没啥好吃惊的。
AC2本身是个超赞的游戏，部分原因就是它把众多的地点非常自然的结合在了一块。但新加这一个dlc就多少有点不合适了。玩家会喜欢和美女相处的那一段，但其它游戏过程就和原版差不太远，显得这个dlc不够有诚意。总的来说，这个dlc不贵，而且给了玩家一个很好的理由再一次进入AC2的世界，但本身并不出色，不属于那种非买不可的dlc。
Assassin's Creed II: Battle of Forli Review
# GameSpot Score
5.5
mediocre
This disappointing and ultra-contrived add-on doesn't improve Assassin's Creed II; it detracts from it.
The Good
? * The beautiful Caterina Sforza finally gets her due
? * It's more Assassin's Creed II
? * Some great new dialogue and voice acting.
The Bad
? * The "special" memory is pointless
? * Messes with the main game's narrative pace
? * Several annoying contrivances.
If you played Assassin's Creed II, it was hard not to notice the two missing sequences directly preceding the finale. The Battle of Forli is the first of two planned add-ons meant to fill in this obvious chasm, but this stopgap bit of downloadable content isn't wholly satisfying, whether you play it on its own or in sequence. Another hour's worth of a superb game doesn't seem like a bad deal for $4.00 (320 Microsoft points), but the added missions are boilerplate Assassin's Creed that don't capture the spirit of the original and seem unceremoniously tossed to eager fans hungry for new content. The Battle of Forli is hardly all bad; you spend more time with the charming and cunning Caterina Sforza, whose earlier appearance was all too brief. But this content feels quickly thrown together, making for a forgettable chapter in an otherwise unforgettable game. Please note: this review contains minor Assassin's Creed II spoilers.
If you haven't finished Assassin's Creed II, you should be aware that you won't be able to access the new content until you are approaching the end of the game. The new chapter takes place after the important revelation--and the emotional leap of faith--that concludes sequence 11. There was an obvious chronological gap left here, but that leap was an absolutely fitting end to the then-penultimate chapter and provided a delicate transition to the game's charged finale. Not only does the new content muck with the narrative pace, but the opening scene featuring an important artifact gives away too much, making the game's ending (and the Truth video you've been piecing together) seem far less magical. Of course, this won't affect you if you've already finished the game, in which case you will enjoy the romantic tension between Caterina and Ezio, who find Forli under attack by two brothers who are after more than just the joy of battle. The new dialogue and voice acting are excellent; a funny exchange about a missing finger (and toe, and limb) between Ezio and a black-robed monk is a particular highlight. But even played out of context, The Battle of Forli climaxes early, and the remaining content is more dribble than explosion.
The first third of the add-on is focused squarely on combat, pitting you (along with Caterina and Niccolo Machiavelli) against large numbers of sword-swinging foes. The big-scale battles are fun, but they aren't particularly challenging; it's quite easy to position yourself behind a busy attacker and stab him in the back with a single thrust. Unfortunately, the visual chaos of these battles removes some of the joy of counterkills, muddling up the screen and keeping you from seeing Ezio's slick murder moves. The remaining memories consist of by-the-numbers ACII missions: rescues, chases, and even more combat. None of these missions boast the slickness of the main game's activities, however. During one of the rescues, the victim repeats the same lines directed to her attackers ad nauseam, even once you've offed them all. At another point, contrived, glowing markers act as refill stations that replenish your ammo (throwing knives, smoke bombs, and the like). Compared to the main game, The Battle of Forli feels messy and poorly paced.
The only other addition of note is that of a "special memory," which is nothing more than an out-of-context flight on Leonardo's flying machine. There's no mission or goal attached to your flight, so it's there just to be there, and without the sprawling Venetian landscape underneath you, flight isn't nearly as much fun as it was in the early memory in which the machine appeared. And there is no explanation as to where this machine comes from and what it's doing there, as it clearly cannot be the same one you used in Venice earlier in the game. It's just another game-ish contrivance in a game that didn't need more of them. If you were at least hoping to pad your gamerscore, you'll want to note that The Battle of Forli doesn't offer any new achievements, though this is perhaps unsurprising, since it doesn't offer any new locations to explore or weapons to brandish either.
Assassin's Creed II is a superb game, partially because of how brilliantly its various pieces fit together into such a cohesive whole. Ironically, while intended to fill a narrative gap, The Battle of Forli feels out of place. You'll enjoy your time with the formidable Caterina (despite an uncomfortable reference to her reproductive prowess), but the gameplay is just a smattering of standard missions jumbled together without much care. This episode is inexpensive and offers another chance to return to an excellent game, but it's too lifeless and unimaginative to be a must-have.. |
