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: 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 ...

Wii Remote and Nunchuk make decent maracas, Fun to shake it with a friend, Good songlist, Affordable, as rhythm games go.

Some fun songs and unique gameplay help get Samba going, but imprecise controls and unreasonable difficulty bungle the beat. ...
