    Samba on the wii I would give a 7 but in metascore it would be 73. This one in metascore would be a 90. This game is close to perfect with great gameplay and replay value and much more.

    A fun and excellent rhythm game perfect for anyone who can shake maracas! Amigo is by far one of the most iconic SEGA characters, just because of this one game!

    Samba de Amigo is a seminal title amongst the Dreamcast’s mighty games catalogue, a game that truly stands out. The best music game there is.

    A simple, yet incredibly fun game.

    It's a lot harder to get the full fruity experience that is Samba de Amigo without the maracas. Unfortunately, the maraca controllers -- which are sold separately -- will set gamers back 80 bucks a pair.
