Guitar Hero III world record goes up in flames When the first Guitar Hero came out in 2005, a running joke inside its fanbase was the hypothetical inclusion of infamous power-metal group DragonForce in an upcoming installment of Activision's popular rhythm-game franchise. Though the idea was initially brushed off as preposterous, Activision up and did just that with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Wii last November. It now appears that the British headbangers are the subject of a new Guinness World Record.

Heralding the arrival of the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 this week, its editors held a contest in New York City that pitted the planet's top Guitar Hero players against each other. Winning the event was 16-year-old Chris Chike of Rochester, Minnesota, who captured the record for "Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock" by thrashing his way to a 97 percent completion rate and 840,647 points in DragonForce's "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert difficulty.

The Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition is presided over by Twin Galaxies, subject of 2007's critically acclaimed King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. Gamers who think they have a record on their hands are encouraged to visit Guinness World Record's Web site to learn how to submit their score. Chike's record-setting performance can been seen on YouTube.

watch the first youtube link.....if you're jaw isn't hanging open at about 5:30 into it......

play it....how the fuck did they even program that shit into GH?

And if guinness dude got the record with ONLY 97% of the notes.....then it's only a matter of time before someone scores the big 1 0 0.

Impressive. It's a damn good song, can't imagine how hard it must be to play it like that. My fingers can't move fast enough even for normal

The note system in GH has no real correlation to actual music. It just rythmically matches it, which any monkey could program, and goes either up or down depending on what you hear. 5:30 is impressive, but I sure hope anybody that's obsessed enough with music to make his way through that takes the time to learn some of the shit for REAL.

Doesn't it use the same system as Audiosurf, but GH already has a set of songs pre-programmed on the disk. Instead of you using your MP3's.
