    While rhythm isn’t one of my strong talents, I have always enjoyed the fun that can be had with playing any rhythm based games. Read more

    • Fun to play, A great party game, Lot of songs and downloadable content is coming soon

    While I was excited about the new music title when it was announced, that has now died and been replaced with disappointment. Read more

    Samba de Amigo offers fun on a limited scope, and how much you'll enjoy it really depends on your attitude. Read more

    • Wii Remote and Nunchuk make decent maracas, Fun to shake it with a friend, Good songlist, Affordable, as rhythm games go.
    • Imprecise controls make difficult songs very frustrating, Not a lot of single-player appeal, Oversaturated backgrounds are a bit much, Lame minigam...

    A fun game, especially with a second player, but it is let down due to it's inaccurate controls. Read more

    • A workout and a game in one, good continental music, fun to play with a friend, energetic
    • Faulty control system means not all notes register making hard/superhard pretty impossible

    Bottom line... the price is a little high for this game so shop around but it's totally worth it. Read more

    • This game is just fun! It keeps you moving to cheerful active music and is great for the laughs.
    • The controls are not very accurate and you can get a little frustrated by that. BUT, it's still fun!
