Abstract: The Wii was designed to make playing games as easy as waving your hands, a natural, intuitive process in which the Wii remote becomes an extension of your arm. But sometimes it doesn’t quite work out like that. Sometimes a Wii game turns the remote is ...
Abstract: Samba de Amigo could’ve been one of the best Wii games of 2008, but unresponsive controls really mar the experience. The fiesta is still there, but it’s a bit of a letdown.

Bad: Wii Remote controls are not always terribly accurate; lots of repeated songs from previous entries in the series.
Bottomline: With games like Alien Syndrome and NiGHTS making an appearance on the Wii, it seems like Nintendos machine has become the go-to system for Sega to resurrect its near-forgotten franchises. We can now add to that list Samba de Amigo, the maraca-based mu...
Abstract: Bless SEGAs Dreamcast, perhaps the last of the revolutionaries. At the forefront of the consoles buccaneering boundaries was Samba de Amigo and, when the eponymous bug-eyed monkey with a perma-grin first shook his stuff back in 1999, the bundled mara...
Abstract: Samba De Amigo can be a joyous game. You control a sombrero-wearing monkey shaking maracas to the beat of hip-swinging Latin songs (or kitsch pop novelties) while colourful festivities explode on screen. Unfortunately, when you are not giggling hysteri...
