Samba de Amigo: Party Central is dragged down by unreliable motion controls, but that doesn't shut down a fun rhythm party full of eclectic tunes.
Samba de Amigo: Party Central MSRP $40.00 Score Details “Samba de Amigo: Party Central is a charming hit of motion-controlled nostalgia, though inconsistent controller detection can be a buzzkill.” Pros Cons As soon as I begin Samba de Amigo: Party Central, I’m transported back to 2008. I was in college and working on a video game review show when I was tasked with reviewing the Nintendo Wii remake of Samba de Amigo.
A doubled-edged Joy-Con The core Samba de Amigo rhythm experience remains largely unchanged in Party Central. On-screen, I see a hexagon, with each corner representing a direction in which I’ll need to shake my controllers when a circle passes by. When a song plays, I shake along to the beat while stopping to hit specific poses and complete “slides” that have me drawing a pattern around the hexagon with one controller.
Though the controls are a significant pain point, Party Central gets something else very right: the all important track list. I’m surprised by how much I love the 40-plus songs included in the base game, which range from Latin classics to Carly Rae Jepsen, to Sonic Adventure 2‘s Escape from the City. It’s all over the place and that actually works in its favor. It doesn’t just feel like its catering to one generation, but aware of the fact that people of all ages will gravitate toward it.
What’s more successful is World Party mode, which is a clever online mode that draws inspiration from battle royale games. Here, 20 players compete in an elimination dance-off that lasts three rounds. It’s similar in structure to survival bowling in Nintendo Switch Sports, a simple formula that maps nicely onto a rhythm game.
