Samba De Amigo: Bring the Sunshine

As winter still bites in the Northern Hemisphere, some may be in need of a bit of sunshine and few games have it on tap as much as the Samba De Amigo series. Pop a couple of maracas in the hannon-gamer and sit back and enjoy the show. Its no slur on Sega though to say sometimes its more fun to watch the participant rather than the on screen action. Mould breaking, pure distilled fun from the Sonic Team and the best way to get the party started. The 2000 version updated the arcade smash with plenty more tracks to choose from including a rock version of A-Ha's "Take On Me." Also includes Hustle mode where moving the maracas around in time to the beat is the central premise as opposed to hitting the beats. Then there's Love Love mode where success is measured by how many beats yds of a ou can hit together with your partner. Preach no more: this is the game to convince non gamers to get involved and samba. Bursting with colour and sunshine - at least when you're hitting the beats - more than any Tequila worm. Even for those Dad dancers lacking riddum like Genki. Thank you Sega.
