Even those with tin ears can make music with Latin America's musical rattle, the maraca. The idea in Samba de Amigo is to use visual cues to shake your maracas in time with the music's rhythm. Though that may sound easy, it's not. More than just merely shaking them, the visuals prompt you where to shake them in three levels between your head and your knees. In other words, think of Samba de Amigo as cross between Dance, Dance Revolution and semaphore. The game requires quick reflexes, great timing, and powerful concentration. And though you can use a standard controller to play this colourful, musical game, Sega has designed it for use with a special Maracas Controller so you can have that arcade experience at home.
