    Samba de Amigo is a seminal title amongst the Dreamcast’s mighty games catalogue, a game that truly stands out. The best music game there is.

    Quite simply fantastic. The most universally appealing Dreamcast title yet.

    A brutally addictive, bizarrely entertaining game. I've never seen anything like it before, and it will haunt me for the rest of my days. But man, is it fun!

    It's different, distinctive, looks great, and has an infectious soundtrack to match the addictive gameplay.

    Sonic Team has worked their magic and put together a highly original, extremely fun game that anyone can play.

    Without the maracas, this game turns into a bad version of "Parappa the Rapper." A REALLY bad version.
