GH III: Legends of Rock Guinness world record set by 16-year old

Want to know who has the fastest fingers in the West, er… on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, PC, and PS2)?
Guinness World Records and Twin Galaxies held a GHIII contest to know who can rock DragonForce’s Through the Fire and Flames on expert mode. If that isn’t insane enough, the winner finished the song sporting a 97 percent completion rate and a new world record. More info and a video after the jump!

We all know that people need decent hand-eye coordination and fast reflexes to survive Guitar Hero‘s riffs. Well, in a video you’ll see today, you’ll see what “godlike” and “legendary” mean in Activision‘s record-breaking Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, PC, and PS2). Ushering in the debut of the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008, the Guinness editors plus video game organization Twin Galaxies held a GHIII contest in New York City.

And sixteen year old Chris Chike came out on top. If you can tackle DragonForce’s Through the Fire and Flames on insane expert mode and end up with a 97 percent completion rate and 840,647 points, you deserve a record too. Chike’s record is dubbed “Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.” Think you can beat his score? You can scurry over to the Guinness World Record‘s official website to submit your epic score.

Anyway, if you’re like this writer, you’ll get a CTS attack before the first 200 notes are over. Check out Chris Chike’s record making video below.
