The editors liked

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

The editors didn't like

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

  • Abstract:  A 2008 update of a 1999 arcade title, Segas Samba de Amigo is a thorougly addictive and entertaining music and rhythm game with a Latin flavor -- or at least it would be, if the controls were halfway decent. Back in 1999, before the world had even he...

  • Abstract:  Samba De Amigo is the direct ancestor of not one, but two of gaming's latest controller crazes; musical instrument simulators and motion sensitive controllers. Back in the dying days of the Sega Dreamcast, before Guitar Hero or the Wii Remote were any...

  • Abstract:  Before fake plastic guitars, before karaoke video games, before the tap tap tap of Ouendan. Before all this, back when the Dreamcast was still a going concern, Samba de Amigo popularised what is now the rhythm action genre. ...

  • 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.

  • In many respects an excellent update, Samba De Amigo falls down because the controls just don't work as well as they should. Still fun, but not a party great of Singstar or Guitar Hero proportions....
