At first I was quite skeptical when I saw the game Samba de Amigo. But for only $10.00, I decided to try it out. I was quite suprised at how simple the game was, and that it was still quite fun. There is a big Latin feel in the game and it has catchy songs as well. The maracas definitely add a different feel to the gameplay, but some may find it more difficult using the maraca controllers instead of a regular Dreamcast controller.
