"These regular-sequel franchises are a source of very high profitability both in the short and long term. Drawing on its strong internal development capacities, Ubisoft is currently in an ideal position to continue to develop numerous new creations - an essential condition for winning market share and ensuring strong growth going forward."

The publisher has also confirmed that it has upwardly revised its financial results for the full fiscal year to 840 million Euros, from earlier expectations of 825 million Euros.

All the time and money is spent on graphics, neglecting the development of gameplay. Repetively tedious and tediously repetitive, this game is an absolute insult to the consumer and gamer. The developers should not be rewarded for producing this abomination. Don't buy it. 0/10

	By: Anonymous Added:Mon 14th Jan 2008 17:43, Post No: 35 the storyline is good and the graphics are awesome but the game structure is repetitive boring, and ultimately disappointing. It will however make a lot of money and the developers have blatantly spent more time on the storyline and the development of sequels than the actual content of the game itself.
