I really got this for my wife, BUT it is evidently a great game. She plays it by the hours - so much so, that the kids and I can't get near it!

Four-Player Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario 64 is a great game for people who like Tetris and Dr. Mario. If you have played Dr. Mario for the NES (1980s) or SNES (1990s), then you know that the game can be rather addictive. However, the Nintendo 64 version is even better in that you can play against three other players, either computer or human.

The music for the Dr. Mario series remains the same with some upgrades as the system gets newer. Dr. Mario 64 also has the best graphics int he series, of course, including cool background sets (that are somewhat hard to see during gameplay, anyway).

In all, this is a strategy game. There are different versions of Dr. Mario to play on this cartridge (such as Story mode and some team-competitive games), as well as handicap settings for players' abilities (speed and number of viruses to kill), which means that you are trying to beat both your opponent and your own history. The greatest stratey in this game, of course, is trying to maximize your points by utilizing creative pill drops that do a lot of clearing and thus dumping on your opponent. I would definitely call this a "brain game," especially given the time element to it. (The game speeds up if too much time has elapsed. Also, the music changes to a faster pace when one player is nearing his or her final virus(es) to kill.)

I recommend this game for children ages 10 and up, and only for those kids who enjoy puzzles, geometry, and competition. Everyone else will just get frustrated during those "stressful" moments, and I have actually witnessed the ugly side of people who were not meant to play these types of games. (Silly, but true.) So I am essentially recommending this game for the nerdy kids and adults in your life. However, good luck in trying to find this game anywhere - it is actually a classic title and one that most people do not give up easily. If you do get it, keep it and take care of it. The going rate for this game in September 2008 is about $75, which is about $35-$45 higher than when it first went on sale in the early 2000s.

Terrible!

I must admit that while Dr. Mario's medical background is shady and unoriginal, his procedural methods can be fun. It's a love or hate affair. Those who've never had an appointment with the doctor may take to it, but others who in the past made regular visits might feel that he hasn't kept up with the times.

Mario - I'm onto you. Think you can run around playing doctor while hocking your sugar pills? You might be offering your services for a seemingly affordable $29.95, but didn't we already try this medicine? Better get Lawyer Luigi on the phone.

Hours of Fun

The main reason I purchased this game was the price and I have to say it was well worth the money. "Dr. Mario" is as much fun as "Pokemon Puzzle League" and has provided my daughter with hours of fun. Recently she taught me how to play the game and I have to admit it is quite addicting. I highly recommend this game because of the price but most of all because of how much fun it is.

Love the game - Dr. Mario N64

Bought this game for my husband and although it took a while to get the game, when it was received it was in perfect condition and my husband loves it. It was for his birthday and he has been playing it ever since - Jan. 29TH! Hope I see him again soon! :-)

I have been playing Dr. Mario since the game came out on the 8-bit and I been hooked since I first saw the commercial for Dr. Mario with the witch doctor, so I went out and bought the game for my N64 and it seems the only thing missing is the witch doctor commercials. It is an awesome game and they did a perfect job revamping it except for the lack of advertisement.

but if your sick of puzzling pokemon then the doctor is in. Dr.mario is good for some incredibley nostalgic fun. besides for a few graphical differnces they have manage to keep dr.mario intact, and even added a few new ways to play. They even kept the same music in it. If you liked the NES or game boy version Dr.mario 64 should be on your list.
