Guinness World Records: The Videogame (NDS)

Description

Older gamers will remember – no doubt warmly – a kids’ TV show presented by Roy Castle and twin brothers Norris McWhirter and Ross McWhirter going by the name of Record Breakers. It detailed attempts at any number of (sometimes bizarre) feats in the name of being the first, best or just weirdest in the world. Kids would look longingly at the screen, wondering what they could do to enter the hallowed annals of Guinness World Records. They need wonder no longer! The venerable institution has made it to the world of video games – even giving players the opportunity to set genuine records! The game presents a series of mini game challenges for players to test their mettle against. They can engage in activities ranging from growing the longest fingernails in the world, to walking across the Grand Canyon on a tightrope to smashing melons to eating a jumbo jet… We’re not even kidding! It doesn’t have to be a solo activity, either. The game supports multi-player so your friends and family can get involved. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a record-breaking hotshot, you can post your scores to online leaderboards. The pinnacle of achievement for the best of the best, however, will be to get their in-game accomplishments posted in the official book of Guinness World Records!
