WBIE Creating Guinness World Records Game


Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has teamed up with TT Games, the folks behind the Lego Star Wars games, to create Guinness World Records: The Videogame for Wii and Nintendo DS. The title is currently slated to release this fall.

The game features a number of "action challenges" that can be played in single player, in teams, or in competitive multiplayer. "Accessible game mechanics enable anyone to grow the longest fingernails ever seen; to walk a tightrope across the Grand Canyon; or even eat a jumbo jet. But true skill and dedication will be required to compete at the highest level," reads the release. "The ultimate prize: you may see your name appear in the official Guinness World Records book!"

"Guinness World Record lends itself wonderfully to an interactive experience for the whole family," said Tom Stone, Managing Director of TT Games Publishing. "We're excited at this opportunity to team up with such a well-loved institution to create a really fresh and fun game."

"We are very pleased with how Guinness World Records: The Videogame looks and plays, this new development reflects the versatility of our content and how it can be tailored for almost any medium and format," added Sam Fay, Senior Vice President of Guinness World Records. "We are sure that the game is going to be a favorite amongst all aspiring record breakers!"
