"When I was a lad all I ever wanted was an electric guitar. My dad told me that when I was 18 I could have one. What a brilliant 18th birthday present Guitar Hero makes! We are very proud and excited to have the opportunity to be working on such a prestigious and truly unique new product. We have the experience, skills and capabilities to meet the demanding and complex logistical challenge that we face, but are really pleased to have been selected by Red Octane" stated Andy Payne, Chairman of The Producers
