Review of Guinness Book of World Records: The Video Game

My girlfriend and I got this game because we wanted to get some fun mini-games. We are in our mid-twenties and we found ourselves playing this game for hours. We finally beat 100 percent of the game after almost two weeks.The games are very addictive because the more you play it the more confident you feel that if you play one of the mini games just one more time you will surely break a new console, regional, national, or world record.

This videogame has pretty good variety.The key for some of the games is to shake the Wii remotes as fast as possible, while others look for how fast your reaction time is and how well you are able to time and control your moves.We found some of the games where you had to shake the remote as fast as possible physically demanding.We preferred the games that required good timing and control, like the longest burp, most dominoes toppled, the longest fingernails, land speed record, and longest bicycle jump.

Tips:
1.The game guide doesn't provide a good explanation of how the game works.It is a good idea to go to the official website for the game to see game hints and world standings.
2.Some of the games work well to have one person control the remote and the other control the nunchuck.We were able to get a world record of 115 (the maximum) for the arrow catching by having two people play.
3.When we first started playing the game we played against the pre-set records in the game before we connected the game to Wi-fi to get the REAL regional, national, and world records.This allowed us to collect more money to purchase the additional items that are needed to beat the game.
4.Most of the games follow the same pattern every time so the more you play it the more you are able to play it from memory.However, the land speed game is different every time.

Cons of the game:
1.One of the disappointing aspects is that there are some games that have a definite maximum score you can get and it is not impossible to obtain.We tied the world record on the arrow catching game along with four other people at this point in time.
2. One of the most annoying aspects of the game is the fact that you need a cord to connect the remote to the nunchuck.Some of the games require fast pedaling and the cord becomes tangled.
3.It would be beneficial if the game had a main screen where you could see a list of all of the tasks to complete to beat the game along with instructions on how to unlock the secret items.We still do not know any of the cheat codes to this game, but think that they are just to buy additional clothing items.

Overall, we are very satisfied with the decision to get this game.We have had many fun hours trying to set new records and we enjoyed seeing how we compared to other people throughout the world.Although there are some games we will never play again, there are a few that we will keep trying to master.
