I like this book because there are many things that are very surprising to read like all of the records that have been broken over the year of 2017. This book helps me learn what people like to do for their life time. Another reason why I like the book is because maybe one day I should be able to do one o these things in the future. This book has everything for everyone to do and to read and to have enjoyment to read and get knowledge about.

This book was really interesting. These video game records were amazing. I'm not a video game fanatic but I could not stop reading these records. The FIFA and Pes sections were the most interesting to me. Most goals scored, most games won in a row,most fouls in a game, most passes in a game etc. Even if you don't love video games like me you will still love this book.

Some interesting tidbits and a walk down memory lane for me, but definitely more facts than records. Some of the records chosen for inclusion also seem a little puzzling in places (e.g Guitar Hero individual song records on Medium difficulty).

Cool.

[Colin Templeton · Rating 4 out of 5]

it's a good read but it's only slightly different from the 2016.

[Bk Lol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this countless of times, seeing the crackdown 3, scalebound, mass effect andromeda, and shenmue 3 announcement made me sad with their future failures.

[Freddie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great facts about gaming. Loads of records on all sort of games.

[Kelly Paradise · Rating 3 out of 5]

This year's edition isn't really sure if it wants to be a world record book or a fact book. Most of it is taken up by filler facts and interviews with large developers rather than anything particularly interesting being done by fans within the gamer community. It feels rather out of the spirit of what the Guinness World Records are about.

Horrible
