Ive never played this game but it looks kinda cool. I know everyone says its much better with the maraccas.

But would you advise me to purchase it and play with the controller or not at all?

Not at all.

My wife plays it almost every day with the controller, and enjoys it a lot, so guess it can be played, but its made for the maracas.

As much fun as DDR was without the dance pads. so, no.

I bought just the game on ebay, and the maraccas later. Game was pure hell without them, and not as fun.

If you can, buy several maraccas, and "get your mexican on."

I bought this game based on a suggestion from someone here, and I think it rivals Donkey Konga in terms of fun, etc.

The game is rather cheap, but obviously the maraccas are expensive as heck.

Hey man, I've been playing that game for years without the maracas. I've got LOADS of friends that don't give a damn whether it's with maracas or controller.

Trust me, I'm obsessed. I have 2 brands of maracas, so don't try to say I don't know what I'm talking about. This game KICKS ASS with just the controller.

YES IT'S WORTH IT.

You can't prove that.

But it can't be disproven either

If anybody cares, I think I'm going to add a "fishing rod" play with Viva La Samba. Weird place to post it, I know, but this is where all of the Samba players are, I'd assume?

Two fishing rods can be "poor man's maracas."

It can be played with the controller, in fact I play better, but without maracas simply it is not the same
