Samba de Amigo Wii review video
Samba de Amigo is 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.
This monkey is still a charmer, but his Wii controls need refining. Find out more in this Samba de Amigo video review.

To quote the IGN video review: “In the end, I think this is a really good game for casual gamers. I showed it to some non-gamer friends this weekend and they had a blast just playing on easy. I had to practically rip the remotes out of their hands to get them to stop. But when fans of the original Samba pick up the remotes, crank up the difficulty, they find the controls to be almost unworkable. This monkey is still a charmer, but his Wii controls need refining.”
