Eurogamer writes: "If you're still holding onto that pristine Dreamcast Samba de Amigo set with official maracas, now might be the time to load up eBay and cash it in. Amigo is returning, courtesy of SEGA and - of all people - Gearbox Software, and thanks to the Wiimote and nunchuk the bonkers old pose-matching maraca magic is as hilarious and exhausting as ever, with new moves and features that take advantage of the game's new home.
Like the Dreamcast game before it, Samba de Amigo puts six big round icons on the screen surrounding your character, like points on a hexagon, and pushes small, circular icons towards them from the centre. Your job is to shake your maraca - or in this case Wiimote and nunchuk - when a small icon reaches the centre of a big one, and to do the shaking at head, waist or knee height depending on which big round icon is involved. Like all the best rhythm games, your actions synch up with a song playing over the top - in Samba's case usually a jaunty Latin rhythm like Livin' la Vida Loca, or something similarly crowd-pleasing like the Rocky theme music."
