You've played Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Now try the game that made them all possible--Samba de Amigo. Reinvented for the Wii, Samba has you use the Wii remote and Nunchaku, or two remotes if you have them, to shake your virtual maracas along to a collection of Latin and pop music classics. The game works a bit differently than other music games. You play by shaking the maracas at one of three heights, using one or both of your hands. It may sound simple, but in the new Hustle Mode you're also called upon to perform special dance moves and poses at the same time. There are plenty of other new game modes as well, including a full career mode. There are multiplayer options, such as one where you get to drop bombs on your opponent and another that tries to measure your romantic compatibility by how well you perform in a duet.
