If you have the money to splash out on this (thanks to some successful boot sales a little while back, I did), make sure you do. They had better make a sequel for the Nintendo Wii, seeing as all you would need is to of the remotes, although even that wouldn't be quite as fun as shaking two blight red plastic rattles. This game is in simple terms everything I love about gaming, and everything I love about Sega. * Unlike DDR, it's actually fun even if you can't dance for toffee. * Unlike DDR, it's actually easy to get into. * Sega trademark engrish up there with Marine Fishing's. * A Leopard duo with the names Chumba and Wumba. * More colours on the screen at any one time then looking through a rainbow. * A dancing freaking monkey, who if you play well goes ape-shit bonkers with glee. * Downloadable music from Sonic, NiGHTS, Burning Rangers, Outrun, Fantasy Zone and After Burner (nab 'em off VMUTool) * Music that really makes you want to boogie. Now, there are many reasons why this is quite possibly the happiest video game ever invented, and if it was released on a current-gen console would be a Blue Skies winner, but here's a short list: All I need now is more body hair and some daft clothes.

Plus with this I'm just one step closer to being the mirror of the dancing monkey on the screen. Along with Afros, I have a funnyobsession with Sombrero's. I originally purchased it for a few quid out of a party junk shop for an animation I made once, but since then it's become my official party hat. Ok, so the sombrero, modelled here by a Sonic doll isn't included in he package, but I've owned this sombrero for a while now and I got it back out of the loft for such an occasion. His so happy his smile is bigger than his feet. Just look as this crazy little guy featured in it.

The box art is more minimalist than the NTSC versions too, and for the small case it works better than trying to cram all the characters into such a small space plus, like the PAL Crazy Taxi art, the yellow goes well with the blue case.Įven the controller instruction manual is full of happiness and joy. The PAL version of the game was, unlike the Japanese and American versions, not released separately from the controller, so you won't find this on it's own. It looks a lot more complex than it is, and the wires don't get in the way like you would think they would. It also makes it feel just that more like owning the arcade cabinet.Īnd here are all the pieces of the controller linked up. Unlike the DDR mat this isn't used for any of the controls, but as a guide of the standing range. The sensor has Velcro underneath it so it can attach itself to this rather funky mat. The maracas plug into the back of this, and the whole device plugs into the controller port. This is the sensor device that sits in front of your feet and registers how high the maracas you are holding are. Now this is the piece which makes the set cost an arm and a leg. They both have a yellow button on them for menu hopping, but shaking is what these babies are all about. To my surprise they even have a rattle in them, which you can remove with a screwdriver if you wish, and replace in-game with SFX, of which there are loads to unlock. The bright red maracas are the first thing you see upon opening the box. All nicely bubble wrapped it was, and everything is pristine, which is nice. Open the box up and all this stuff is found inside. I certainly won't be stuffing this in the loft in a hurry.

Unlike most of the Dreamcast boxes which are a minimalist (but still rather cool) blue with huge white text, this box has the characters plastered all over the front and really looks something up on your shelf. The game itself is, as expected, a real blast and makes the DDR games and it's mat look rather old-hat (although the mat and Space Channel 5 is still a brilliant combination) but rather then just state the obvious with a review and screenshots, I'm going to give you a full run down of what exactly you get in the box.įirst thing you notice is the beautiful artwork on the box itself. The previous owner of the game had only played it a couple times, so everything was in next to perfect condition. After days of bouncing off the walls since I forked out £75 for it, the Samba De Amigo box set arrived this morning, and what a wonderful box set it is.
