What is you bestest game of all time?

Long before your Guitar Hero's and Rock Band's, people wanted something a bit different to play. Something the whole family could join in with. This is were Sega stepped in with a game for the Dreamcast. A game that would shape a whole genre of tap along play.

The game was Samba De Amigo.

Like Guitar Hero you played along to music tracks and you have to perform an action when the screen icons dictates. However there is no button pressing here. No. Here you have maracas and you have to shake them in one of six positions when asked to. High, middle and low on the left and right.

This is a game set to the sounds of South America and is easier to play if you swing your hips to the sounds of Ricky Martin and Quincy Jones. As you progress through the game the rhythms get faster and the combos get harder. Do well and Samba the monkey dances around the screen with all his friends with fireworks going off everywhere. Do badly and your friends will desert you the lights go out and you will end up lonely and crying.

This is the most expensive game i have ever bought. The game, maracas and sensor bar set me back £100. But this is the best £100 I have ever spent. This is a rare game and i could get my money back overnight if I ever get board of it. This will not happen.

Anyway, if you are not quite getting the concept here is an annoying yank showing what it is about.

Cool, I had a Dreamcast, never heard of that game though


My favourite game has to be Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, although if I played it now, likely I wouldnt like it

I have never heard of that game Doc. My favourite game was track & field. It wore your fingers out though.

I have seen that Samba is coming out for the Wii soon.

I love guitar hero on the wii. Once I pick it up I just can't put it down.
