TT Games bringing Guinness World Records to iPhone

Okay so they've made loads of LEGO games and they're making new LEGO games too, but over at TT Games they're also experimenting with other products.

One such is Guinness World Records: The Videogame, which was released for Wii and DS in December 2008 and after a four month development stint will soon be out for iPhone.

As with the console versions, the game consists of 36 mini-games, which are loosely based around some of the more wacky world records that have been attempted.

Examples include sheep sheering, eating cockroaches, blowing bubblegum bubbles, crushing watermelons with your head, popping balloons, and so on.

These are spread around a world globe that your cartoon character wanders around, as you select, play and unlock mini-games. The mini-games generally use a variety of flick, tap and scratch motions on the touchscreen, although some will require you to tilt your device.

So far, so normal.

With this iPhone version however, TT Games's focus has been on making it a great handaround party experience. Up to four players can compete in each mini-game, with you all taking it in turns to see who can complete the most actions within the set time limit.

Neatly, the game records loads of stats, all of which can be squirted up to an extensive global leaderboard: albeit one that will also break down into country, region, city and friends-sized lists so you're not overwhelmed by the fact that you're the world's 144,566th best player, and hence hardly a record-breaker.
