Abstract:  With this holiday rush, we reviewers have found ourselves inundated with top-shelf releases – and of the dozen or so games currently on my docket, Samba De Amigo has hands-down received the most play in my living room over the past two weeks. Between ...

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.

Abstract:  I know what youre thinking: its a Wii conversion of an old Dreamcast classic featuring monkeys playing maracas to the strains of The Macarena. Really, whats not to like? Well, there is something actually, but well come to that a little bit l...

Abstract:  When Samba de Amigo first appeared on the Dreamcast eight years ago, it marked a new standard for exciting rhythm-based gameplay and expensive, game-specific peripherals ($79.99 for a pair of maracas!). How fitting, then, that in this golden age of mus...

Good:  Wii Remote and Nunchuk make decent maracas, Fun to shake it with a friend, Good songlist, Affordable, as rhythm games go.
Bad:  Imprecise controls make difficult songs very frustrating, Not a lot of singleplayer appeal, Oversaturated backgrounds are a bit much, Lame minigames add nothing.
Bottomline:  Some fun songs and unique gameplay help get Samba going, but imprecise controls and unreasonable difficulty bungle the beat. ...

Good:  The core gameplay is just as fun as it was on the Dreamcast; fairly large selection of songs.
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...

  Published: 2008-09-18

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...

Good:  Cheesy fun, Can download new tracks
Bad:  Not for serious gamers, Cheerful, but hardly groundbreaking graphics
Bottomline:  From the bright graphics, to the holiday tunes, this isnt a gaming masterpiece, its just a hilarious party game

Abstract:  Vid en av mina föreläsningar på speldesign tar jag upp spelkontroller och tillbehör. Bland de ”roliga och annorlunda” kontrollerna berättade jag om ett spel som släpptes för åtta år sedan där två maracas var det enda sättet att kontrollera spelet på, S...
