The editors liked

  • The core gameplay is just as fun as it was on the Dreamcast
  • fairly large selection of songs.
  • Wii Remote and Nunchuk make decent maracas
  • Fun to shake it with a friend
  • Good songlist
  • Affordable
  • as rhythm games go.
  • It's a classic
  • straightforward rhythmbased music game with an additional selection of songs and doesn't require a huge time investment to enjoy.

The editors didn't like

  • Wii Remote controls are not always terribly accurate
  • lots of repeated songs from previous entries in the series.
  • Imprecise controls make difficult songs very frustrating
  • Not a lot of singleplayer appeal
  • Oversaturated backgrounds are a bit much
  • Lame minigames add nothing.
  • The inaccurate controls can cause a bit of frustration on some of the higher difficulty settings.

  • 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.
