Samba Di Amigo (with Maraca Controllers)

Put simply, this is an amazing experience. Although you can play with the standard Dreamcast controller, it's not recommended. You lose the fun and excitement of the entire game if you don't have the maracas. The full set is gorgeous - large carry case, floor mat, two shiny red maraca's and the floor sensor (which tells your DC what position the maracas are in - it's all very clever) and you'll be proud to have this rare gem. I imported my set from Japan since the UK edition is very expensive and hard to find. Wherever you get it from, "Samba De Amigo" is an experience that cannot be beaten. Outstanding.

WOW!!! This is the best game ever!! this is the most original game in the world shake the maracas in time to the onscreen instruction. A fun game with friends and family and a hit at partys. If you have a Dreamcast BUY IT!!! if you don't have a dreamcast BUY ONE AND THIS!!! Loads of cool songs in this such as Soul Bossa Nova (the Austin Powers theme), Take On Me, Tubthumping and Macarena plus loads of downloadable songs from Dreamarena.

Samba is one of those rare games - completely original! The gameplay is simple enough to master, but the real winner are the tracks that have been selected for the game - The Austin Powers theme and Take On Me are just two of the star performers! Add this to the fact that you can download more tunes from DreamArena and here you have a game with a long future. It is expensive, but you do ultimately get your moneys worth - BUY IT!!

A recipe for success: Take 1 monkey (Sombrero'd preferably) Add some damn catchy songs (including Burning Hearts from Burning Rangers !!!) Thrown in a liberal sprinkling of psychedelic graphics And two maraca controllers What have you got? Only the finest game this side of Mexico. With more laughs than a Funhouse full of feathers, this game will make you cry tears of complete delight and frustration, in hysterics saying "What did Sega do to deserve the negative press..? Damn those journalists - we will forever love you Sega!" BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!!! And if you have it, buy it again 'cos the two player mode is excellent - Sonic Team have pulled it one of the bag again - surely they can't top this with Phantasy Star Online? (but I bet they can!).
