Media Institutions

It is slighty more difficult to examine the instituation of this text is it isn't a film, but rather a game. Therefore, the instituations differ from the usual 'Dreamworks' or 'Warner Bros'. In this case, the institution responsible for this media text is 'Ubisoft Entertainment', a French games developer based in Montreal, Canada.




The text is fairly standard from this company as they have several third-person action games, such as Prince of Persia, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell.

As for distribution, the text was published in CD-DVD format, with seperate versions available for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Short demos were also distributed digitally on all three platforms, and later a full version was available through the digital-distribution service 'Steam' for a lower-than-retail price. It is still currently avaible on said service and has had 3 price-cuts to date.
