Amazon.com Product Description:
Even those of us who have tin ears can make music with Latin America's musical rattle, the maraca. The idea in Samba de Amigo is to use visual cues to shake your maracas in time with the music's rhythm. Although that might sound easy, it's not. The visual cues prompt you more than just to shake them, but where to shake them, and in three levels between your head and your knees. In other words, think of Samba de Amigo as a cross between Dance Dance Revolution and semaphore. The game requires quick reflexes, great timing, and powerful concentration.

Rating: - Eh.. not that great
I read all these "great" reviews about Samba de amigo saying how fun it was. You want fun? Get a nintendo wii instead.. that's real fun. Samba de amigo is apparently the same thing as DDR only you use maracas? Original idea but sorry, no. The maracas are very easy to set up but it's very very hard to make them work.. you have to shake them all over the place in the right spot and sometimes if you shake them in the right spot, the game doesn't pick up on it. This was a creative idea, but now with ... Read More
Rating: - Near the top of the music genre
I loves me some music games and I've got no problem with fessing up to that fact, although you'd better believe I'll always close the blinds before I lay down the dance pads and embark on a game of DDRMax in my living room. Pa Rappa the Rappa and Um Jammer Lammy (Lammy in particular) hooked me on the genre, and each installation / revision of the Dance Dance Revolution series has all but confirmed it. Along the way, I've become something of a self-proclaimed connoisseur of the genre, very similar ... Read More
Rating: - Not worth the price, only 3 levels of play
This game is nice, but it is extremely short. There are only 3 stage arenas.

Stage 1 you are in a street parade.
Stage 2 you are in a movie studio.
Stage 3 you are at a concert in a park. Then that's it, the game ends!!!

There are also 7 songs, but not all of those songs sound great.

Another complaint is that the characters do not react to your button inputs. They dance automatically, you do not have any control over their movements.

Rating: - GREAT FUN!
This game is a blast, highly addictive, very challenging. Fun with or without the maracas, so don't worry about those 80 bucks if uf don't wanna spend it. Its a bit easier too w/o them. Its a fun game, and the music was surprising and a great laugh to hear all the famous songs they included. Coulda used a Story Mode, BUT the challenge mode makes up for it. ~=) WAY TO GO SEGA!
Rating: - Samba de Amigo: Is it worth it?
In three easy letters, YES. As a FAN of all music genre games Sambe de Amigo is worth the price. If you are lucky enough as I was to find the rare Saga Maracas, GET THEM! The third party Maracas have a lot of downfalls and problems, However, the great thing about this game is you can play it with the standard dreamcast controller, and it's just as much fun. It is a terrific party game, muck like DDR (Dance Dance Revelution) and the Mario Party series. I recomend this game highly for anyone who is tired ... Read More
