Samba De Amigo

When you play this great music game, you will be instantly addicted. The track list is great, gameplay unique, and is a good party game;That is, if you play on 'easy' or 'normal' difficulty.Once you start progressing to halfway through the game, the songs become almost unplayable, all due to the controls being too unresponsive.It seems the Wii Remote simply is not capable of fast movements without confusing itself and therefore making the second half of career mode an almost impossible feat.The problem is, to unlock a song, you must unlock it in career first. This means that any song in 'hard' or especially 'very hard' mode is unlikely to ever become avaliable to play!It is good to see downloadable content come to the Wii, but I have no space left on my ... MoreWhen you play this great music game, you will be instantly addicted.

This means that any song in 'hard' or especially 'very hard' mode is unlikely to ever become avaliable to play!It is good to see downloadable content come to the Wii, but I have no space left on my console's memory left, so until next year, when Nintendo are releasing a much needed sd card solution, I have no place to store them.Besides all of that, the menu structure, voiceovers, and overall presentation are very good. I also like how you can use two wii-remotes instead of the inefficient nunchuk/remote option.Every aspect of the game is great except for those dodgy controls on harder levels, which also cuts the track list in half. The free maracas are pretty gimmicky and incredibly tiresome on your hands.I would give Samba de Amigo an 8/10, just managing four stars.

If you want to have a great laugh at your mates then get them up doing Wii Maracas. It's super fun consisting of a few awkward moments (getting used to the controls) a gathering crowd (wondering what on earth you're doing), throw in some funky music followed by plenty of laughing. That kinda sums it up.It's also a really good work out too if you give it 100% effort throughout the game.This game seems to always make its way out when partytime comes around.

It is a game where everyone can pick up and play. I got it yesterday and I can't put it down. Great songs and you can download more song packs. You match the music like you do any other game like this. And you can dance as well on some of the songs. I love it and its a easy game to pick up for the whole family. I give it 5 out of 5.
