SAN FRANCISCO, CA  March 11, 2002
Ubi Soft Entertainment announces a
must-buy for fans of Alfred Hitchcock, with a deal to bring the PC game,
Alfred Hitchcock  The Final Cut
to the U.S. and Canada.  The adventure
game, based on some of Hitchcock’s best movies, will be released this month at
an MSRP of $29.99.

Developed by Arxel Tribe, in
collaboration with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group, Alfred
Hitchcock  The Final Cut
delivers more than 30 hours of gameplay across
50 unique locations.  Released in Europe in November 2001, the title was
recently awarded Best Adventure Game 2001 and Most Innovative
Adventure Game
by justadventure.com.  

“This is a game that will appeal to
adventure game fans, as well as movie buffs,” said Laurent Detoc, president of
Ubi Soft Entertainment Inc. “The Final Cut features various
puzzles that expertly weave knowledge of Hitchcock films into clues, and a
soundtrack that draws from Hitchcock classics.  Fans will also get a chance to
view actual footage from films directed by Hitchcock, including Psycho,
Frenzy, Shadow of a Doubt, Torn Curtain, Topaz and
Saboteur.”

“The fact that Ubi Soft, which
recently launched

charts with a great number of AAA titles, will be taking care of the publishing
and distribution of our game is an immense satisfaction for all those who worked
on this project,” said Guillaume de Fondaumiere, Chairman of The Arxel Guild.
