Established in 1997, Ubisoft Montreal now houses 900 employees in 150,000 sq ft arranged over three vast labyrinthine floors of an old textiles factory.
This level of attention to detail extends beyond Montreal's hotels and, more relevantly, has been particularly characteristic of recent projects to emerge from Ubisoft's Canadian operation. And that's for each of the hotel's 258 rooms. In it, the hotel's general manager has personally signed the introductory note - twice, in fact, given that the guide is in both French and English. Ubisoft has kindly arranged for a Splinter Cell 'goodie bag' to be delivered but, unexpectedly, it's the hotel directory next to it that has boosted our jetlagged confidence regarding the quality of Sam Fisher's latest mission. This time, however, there's no such instant of contemplation because the answer is to be found lying on the room's desk. There is usually a moment on a press trip, typically just after you first enter your hotel room after a transatlantic flight, when you wonder whether the game you've come to see is worth the countless miles travelled.
