I think there are many creative ways we\'ll be able to use the camera with great potential for fun. It\'s great to have the opportunity to reach a wider audience through a new system like this and I\'m really excited to be developing a game like SEGA SuperStars for EyeToy.\"
Matthew Woodley, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd, commented \"EyeToy is such a perfect way of engaging a broader base of consumers in a very social, fun style of gaming. With a huge portfolio of recognisable IP, and popularity with diverse groups of gamers, we\'re really excited to be able to revitalize some of our greatest stars using this great new technology.\"
