Could be the middle of the street, on a stage indoors or out. There's this posse led by a sombrero-wearin' monkey who like to go around shaking their maracas to the music-anytime, anywhere. If you are keeping to the beat correctly while you play, the animations get livelier and livelier, but if you don’t you may leave Amigo crying at the end of the song - and who wants to make a monkey cry? Amigo, the monkey who is the main character in the game, is particularly fun to watch. The bright, colorful animations blend with the music perfectly. Excellent sound quality is required for this style of game and Sega provides it in spades. The music in Samba De Amigo consists mostly of classic samba tunes, but adds several recent songs including " Living La Vida Loca," " Tubthumping," and the ever-annoying "Macarena," all arranged to provide maximum dancing fun. Add to that the multiplayer party modes and you’ve got the makings of a good time for you and all your friends. Mastering the challenge mode will make you the dance king at your next party. In addition to the default game mode there is a single player challenge mode where you must match the on-screen directions, performing successively better on each song to beat a preset score. In the standard game mode you get two songs to play and if you're really good you’ll be rewarded with a special third song. If you can match the pose within the time limit you’ll earn extra points. In addition to shaking the maracas as directed, the game will occasionally ask you to strike a pose from time to time by showing you a stick figure on-screen. You can play with a standard Dreamcast pad, but the game just isn’t the same. If you keep on the directed beat your score rises appropriately. As you play the game blue and red balls on screen tell you exactly where and when to shake the maracas. The key to Samba De Amigo is the special maracas controller (available for a suggested retail price of $79.95) that consists of two bright red maracas and a floor sensor that detects where they are at all times. However, this isn't a game you’re going to want to play alone - this is a party game and full enjoyment requires making a fool of yourself with your friends. I must admit that I was skeptical of Samba De Amigo - I’ve never seen the point of dancing games, but after playing for a few minutes I began to enjoy myself. The only previous experience I’ve had with the genre has been during my last few visits to the Seattle Gameworks where several arcade dance games are available.
