The title, which has surely been helped by fierce price cutting at retail, becomes the seventh fastest selling All Formats game of all time.

Just Cause from Eidos sticks in second above another non-mover, EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, at number three.

Last week’s chart-topper, LucasArts' Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, drops to four.

Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts II is the second highest new entry at five, followed by Codemasters’ LMA Manager 2007 at six. THQ’s new combat RTS, Company Of Heroes, enters at seven, one above the publisher’s former number one, Cars.

EA’s The Godfather and Nintendo’s Brain Training take the last two places in the top ten.
