This review is from: Guinness World Records: The Videogame (Video Game)

This is a great game you must get it I know you hear this alot but this is unbelievable.I have had my ds and never used it wirelessly till I tried this game.It is also great to play by yourself too.
The favorite one so far is bubblegum blowing (HANDS FREE and STYLUS FREE).You blow in the MIC to blow bubbles but have to keep the arrow in the middle of the meter.Right now I am the Best Console,Regional and National record Holder.
You unlock games by earning coins .the better u R at the game the more coins u get to unlock more fun games.
There is also a tatoo game in where u use the stylus as a tatoo gun to color tatoos` and see how many you can finish in a given time.
Body Piercing You tap the stylus when the circle turns green to make a piercing while this dude lies on a stretcher and you pierce his arms,legs etc.....
Paper airplane throwing:how far u throw a paper airplane.
Plunger Throwing :like Knife throwing from a Magic Show A woman spins on a wheel and you ail plungers at the target while she is attatched to a round target.Don't hit her hit the target.
Turkey Plucking:You use the stylus to pull feathers out of a turkey .
Sheep Shearing:you see how fast you can W/ Stylus shave sheep.
BMX Rider:You go back and forth On a banana shaped ramp.
Space hopper: you Bounce on one of those rubbeer handles back
A space game like Asteroids(Atari Game) but better.You use the Stylus to glide through space and shoot other ships.Better then asteroids though.
Smelliest Mammel:You make a skunk spray a green toxic burst comes out and a strange bathroom sound while you poke him with the Stylus.Very Cute and funny!
Biggest Sky Scraper:Something like Tetris but a bit harder to make the tallest building.
Unicycle Jumping;You make a Unicycle jump over hurdles.
Car Balacing:You use`the satylus to balance a vehicle on your head:
Unfortunately
Unfortunately this is a retyped review as I was just booted of the internet othyerwise it would have all the games.
Melon Crushing:you use the stylus you crack melons with your head using the stylus as they go by on a converor belt.
Plane Eating:You hammer a plane to pieces and then a mouth appears so you can run the mouth over bits of your` plane as you rub the run the pen over the plane it dissapears.
Balloon popping:You pop 50 balloons w/stylus in the fastest time.
Plus 20 more I don't want this review to get erased B-4 I am done.
You also earn outfits for your character and certificates as you go along .Also if you beat a regional,national or world record you can wait as a Guiness judge validates the record you broke.
Cockroack eating is anotherin which you use the stylus to grab roaches and then use stylus to chew quickly in a fast time.
Washer throwing:Youthrow a washing machine the greatest distance w/ stylus.
Fastest Rocket:haven't tried yet
So now there r about 16 games left to mention,I love this game it is time consuming as` well as addicting so don't plan on a 15 minute game.
I usually plan on a half hour which easily turns into 2 or 3.
Sounds like I don't have a life huh?Well get this game and you will see what I mean.It is soooooo fun.Graphics could b a lil better but other then that 10 stars

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Fun Trying to break records~An adult player, December 11, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Guinness World Records: The Videogame (Video Game)

This was such a deal the day I got it I thought what have I to lose? This game is so much fun. It is very good for eye hand coordination and fast thinking. I have only played about 6 of the I believe 36 major games. It is fun just trying to break your own records but you can also go against the regional, National, And World records. You can wifi with others also.

My favorite so far is the tallest building in New York. I keep trying over and over. Also the unicycle jumping over barriers, the biggest chewing gum bubble....not to mention the highest video game score. I think anyone 8-80 yrs old will have fun. You do have to have good reading skills as some of the instructions are a bit technical. I have had to re-read a few to get the hang of the game.

Great gift for a DS player.

I got this for my 8-year old son since he loves the Guiness Books. He thought it was so much fun. His 7-year old sister especially loves it. She wants a DSI for her birthday, and this is the game she most cares about playing on it! I tried playing it too and it was fun but they are much better at it than me!!
