Samba de Amigo for Dreamcast

Pros: Incredibly fun, great party game, simple concept.
Cons: $240 extra for 2-player fun. Beats don't really correspond to anything in particular, no depth of gameplay.

Note: This is a review of the Japanese (import) version of Samba de Amigo. It's not like there are going to be any plot spoilers or anything for this game, so I don't feel bad reviewing it.

I saw this game at E3, and I had a really fun time...

Pros: everything except control
Cons: controller control, expensive maracas

Trying to rival Sony’s game by the name of dance dance revolution, Sega made Samba De Amigo, possibly the most fun and enlightening party game I've ever played, and I'm not very fond of games like this at all.


produced by-...

Pros: Ultimate party game. Extremely addictive gameplay that is easy to learn but challenging to master.
Cons: Requires maracas controllers for fullest experience.

Sonic Team is truly one of the elite game development studios working today. While they may not pioneer new game genres, they always strive to add their own little twists and gameplay innovations. The Sonic titles were the first platform games to...

Pros: Look at Review
Cons: Look at Review

Samba De Amingo, the ultamite dancing game of the year. you though Parappa the Rapper and Bust A move were good games, wait till you use actual Marcas [or your controller] to get down with your bad self. But all of this comes for a price!

...

Pros: Incredibly fun, insanely addictive, and never gets old
Cons: Insanely high price, "cute" characters are kind of annoying

This game is one of the few games that I have ever played that took a horrible premise and made it into a great game. PaRappa with maracas? What were they thinking? But, as it turns out, Samba de Amigo is one of the greatest party games...

Pros: Good time for all! Big American party!
Cons: Maracas are expensive!

I'm not a big fan of Rhthym games...I play guitar, not bass. I do however like the work of Yuji Naka and the Sonic Team (Panzer Dragoon Saga anyone?) I saw this game about 8 months ago on import (I have the import version...it's exactly the same with...

Pros: Best party game on the market
Cons: Costly peripheral

Sega, unlike most other consoles companies to this date, have always tried to break the mold when it came to video games. Unfortunately, their attempts were never successful - look at failing peripherals like SegaCD & 32x for Genesis. But with...

Pros: Psychodelic Monkeys, Popular/recognizable tunes, fresh/new type of game, great party game!
Cons: Maracas are $80 and limited in number

After reading the reviews and watching trailers, I still had no idea why I'd ever want to buy a game featuring tripped out monkeys dancing to Latin beats. Woah, but after buying the game, I'm glad I did.

Someone that has never heard of...

Pros: Great music, Outstanding visuals, and a whole heck of a lot of fun.
Cons: Price of the maracas.

I'm like most of you that have read reviews of this game. I thought 'A dancing maraca shaking monkey game? Just what is Sega smoking?'

Well, I don't know what they're smoking but I want some. Sega has put together one of the most addictive...

Pros: Fun and unique. Makes a great party game.
Cons: Optional maracas controllers are expensive and hard to find.

I don't have much time to play video games, and fighting games are generally my favorite. That said, I still play with this game more than any game in my ample collection. That's because it gives you what video games promise to deliver: fun, pure and...

Pros: addictive gameplay, song variety
Cons: not enough replay, maracas price

Overview: This is one of Segas best arcade titles. But how does it make the transition to the DC, well not to bad but not great either. Sonic Team has made some improvements that improve the replay value of this game. You would have thought that Sega...

Pros: Endless replay factor, happy bounce graphics, awesome tunes the list goes on and on
Cons: the multiplayer, and can be a bit hard at times. Not to mention the sore wrists from playing to long.

I would like to start off first by saying this this is not your normal game, so it is not for your normal gamer. If you are to shy to dance infront of friends, or to lazy to stand on your feet for a change; then this game is not for you, unless you...

Pros: A new song each week!! and A Dancing Monkey
Cons: $130.00 for this game. When you could be buying 3.

Samba De Amigo, captivated my attention from the first time I saw the words in print. For months now I have had to endure excellent review after excellent review while my anticipation grew and grew. Well the game is finally here and so is my review....

Pros: Original refreshing game play
Cons: Sensors can be buggy at first

I recently got this game for the holidays along with 2 sets of Maracas. The game seems pretty pointless without them. Now I can samba all night long! My initial complaint however is that the sensors aren't always accurate. Even with the height...

Pros: Funnest video game EVER. <--period.
Cons: $120

This game is the first video game that made me sweat! Maracas in hand, you will have the most fun ever on a console. Sure, Final Fantasy in fun, but do you have a smile on your face? Nope. Samba is a party game, allowing 2 people to go head to head or...
