Great game.
I personally love this game. i loved it on the Dreamcast and i love the wii version even more. The music is great it features a wide variety of latin music from old latin folk songs to more modern songs like la bamba and even songs that aren't necicarrily latin like are you gonna be my girl by jet. and if you have Wi-Fi you can download from 3 three diferent track packs for wii points.The graphics are very vast and colorful and make you happy as your playing. As far as controlls there kinda simple you just move the wiimote and nunchuck like marachas to the rythem of the song. There is some lag time sometimes but not that much you just have to be directly in front of the sensor bar and by the way this isn't a "sitting-down" type of game you have to be on your feet. I would suggest this game to people who are really looking for a game that utilizes the wiis capabilitys and people who like music and love to dance. overall amazing game.

Don't waste your money.
This game has a great concept, however, there are some major flaws. The idea of hitting marks at a specified time is not new but the way to do that in this game, with maracas, is fresh. The ability to either use the nunchuck with the remote or go wireless and use two remotes is fantastic and other game developers should take note. The responsiveness of the game is where the problem lies. About one quarter of the "hits" are not recorded because the remote appears to not be sensed. It happens with both left and right hands and with player one and player two. Thought at first the remotes might need new batteries, so checked them and then replaced them anyway since they were half strength, no help. Then I thought that the sensor bar might not be picking up the remotes so we changed positions and got directly in front of the TV and stood the specified 3 to 10 feet from the TV (tried several distances) and that didn't work either. After reading reviews on other websites, I did find that others are having the same problems. I guess I should have done more research before purchasing. The graphics are simple but well done. The interface is pretty straightforward. Overall great concept but poor execution.

Samba de Amigo!!!
Great remake of the Sega Dreamcast game,and my only problem is the controls The controls didn't always read me and that caused me to mess up alot, and once you think you have mastered this game you will still have control errors. I had a great time playing with my sister, who is alot better than me at this game,and this a great party game. I really recommend this game.

Shake It {or at least try to}
When I picked up Samba de amigo I knew it would be good and it turns out it was. From good vivid graphics to an excellent song list this game was to good to be true. But of coarse there always are flaws in video games and there's no exception when it comes to samba de amigo. My only major complaint with the game is that sometimes on hard the maraca indicators will not keep up with your movements and it's not the controllers or the sensor bar it's the game. But fortunately on medium and easy it works fine. My opinion is to go to training and practice on hard. Overall this is a good game for casual gamers and despite the controls it's kinda worth the *edit* but if you are a hardcore gamer you may not like the way the game controls on the harder difficulties.

Samba de Amazing!
Samba de Amigo is a game about a Monkey wearing a sombrero who plays the maracas. Where do they come up with this stuff? A great successor to one of SEGA's amazing games on the Dreamcast, Samba de Amigo Wii is loads of fun to play. The game itself has a few flaws. The motion controls work pretty well, but if you have played the Dreamcast Version, it will not be easy to adapt to the new style of controls. New players will have loads of fun, however. The controls on the Wii Mote work efficiently better than the Nunchuks, so most of your screw-ups will usually be on the left side. To enhance controls, I HIGHLY recommend the Maraca attachments. They add to the experience as well as help with the controls. The game has a wide variety of songs, but still keeps its Mexican-Style feel. There are hardcore Mexican Songs such as Samba de Janeiro. Even though you might not understand the words, you will be dancing around like a maniac. Then there are more popular songs such as Pon de Replay and Mambo No. 5 which will be really distracting because you will just want to dance to them. There are also themes from movies, such as the Rocky Theme and the Austin Powers Theme which are really exciting to play as well. Some songs, although, such as Livin La Vida Loca focus more on dancing than hitting the notes. There are 6 options from the main menu, Career, Single Player, Multiplayer, Training, Wifi, and Options. In Career, you play through all the songs in the game. There are 4 difficulties, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Super hard. Each has different songs and different characters. In Single Player, you can play different modes such as Quick Play, Love Love, Classic, Survival, and Battle. Multiplayer is basically Single Player but with two people. In training, you learn the basics of Samba from your own personal tutor. In Options, you can change the sound of your maraca and dancing. Finally, in Wifi, although there is no online play, there are Rankings. There is also something call Pay & Play which is DLC. Samba is the first retail game to feature this on the Wii. The DLC are true downloads and save to the Wii Flash Drive. The songs come in packs of 3 and cost 500 Wii Points. Overall, Samba de Amigo is an amazing and fun game. If you are a fan of fun games, get it. If you are a fan of music games, get it. If you are a fan of party games, get it. This should definitely be on the lost of games a Wii Owner should buy.

Looking forward to this one.
I haven't been much of a Sega fan, and would normally be disappointed with most of their games, but I can make an exception for Amigo. In fact, I think I'm more excited about Samba, than I am about City Folk! And, I love Animal Crossing! Anyway, I think Samba De Amigo will be putting a smile on many faces, including my own. I've even decided to design a Halloween costume, of Amigo! I must be insane, or maybe just excited about being able to grab the new Maraca accessories and slap em' onto my Wii-motes. (Good thing I have 2!) This is definitely one game I wasn't originally looking to buy, but thanks to videos of gameplay, and an awesome track list, I just can't refuse!

Samba de Amigo Wii
whats wrong with gamestop the allways have the wrong screenshots. this game is about a monkey dancing or something. its a sega game. here let ign tell u. A Wii update to the classic Dreamcast and arcade music and rhythm game. Playing as the grinning, sombrero-topped monkey, Amigo, players shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuk like maracas, in time with the visual beats of the music on-screen. Samba De Amigo is packed with lively stages and a host of colorful characters.

A classic to the Wii
Like everyone has said this a Dreamcast remake that is sure to be a bigger hit than it was before. It's very basic shake the remote and nunchuk to control Amigo (the monkey) and keep the beat as you play some very awesome tracks. It will be a must buy for any fan of guitar hero and rock band.And as a side note here don't compare or even say that this game was based or anything like guitar hero or rock band because Samba was out years before these two games!

What the game is?
Samba de Amigo was a rythm game from the Dreamcast. The game used two maraca controlers which you shakes to the beat of the music. This is not Boogie it is a Dreamcast classic with fun music and addictive game play. Check it out
