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.

I Miss my wife and I need my sleep

About two months ago I was in the toy store with my two sons. My seven year old Nintendo fanatic told me. "Dad Lets get Dr. Mario for mommy's birthday." Being a reasonable and normal dad I said "yea right, your mother wants this game." Much to my shock after I gave my wife her present she told me he was telling me the truth! Her sister had the game and she played it a ton. So when mother's day came around I picked it up for her. It is a cute game, basically a tetris variant is its most basic form (which is what she plays)and she loved it. It is challenge and actually involves a bit of subtle stratagy which makes it more worthwhile in my eyes, particularly in head to head compatition. The only problem is when I get home from work just before midnight I invariably find my wife in front of the set playing. Being a good husband I sit and play with her an hour or so. She loves it and the game is fun, but I NEED MY SLEEP and she is constantly playing it. It's worse than me with colonization! Nintendo you've created a monster, ok she's a REALLY CUTE monster.

A classic NES game is remade for the N64

When I first heard this game was being remade and re-released for N64, I was very excited. I've always loved this game and remember playing many times with my friends when I was younger on NES. And when I heard it was going to be inexpensive, it was a no-brainer as to whether or not to buy it. The game, however, is not without its faults. But letýs start with the good. In Dr. Mario 64, there are many new ways to play the classic Dr. Mario. You can play in story mode, where you are pitted against a series of computer-controlled opponents (with an entertaining and simple story interspersed between battles). You can also play Vs. mode, which is just you against the computer. Or you can play Score Attack, where you try to get as many points as you can in 3 minutes. And, yes, you can still play classic Dr. Mario, just like it was on NES. Also, a two and four player mode has been included in this game. Playing Dr. Mario 64 with three other people is a really fun experience, and I am glad Nintendo included this in the remake. Now for the bad. The main reason this game didnýt get 5 stars is because it gets a little boring and repetitive after playing for awhile. Also, in four-player mode, the play screens for each of the players are a little small, but there is little Nintendo could have done to change these. In conclusion, Dr. Mario is a great remake of a great game. I would recommend it to fans of puzzle games or even fans of video games in general.

This game is a tad hard for me, but my wife is addicted to it. Be careful because Dr. Mario prescribes a drug that some people become addicted to.

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.

Great Game

What can I say that hasn't already been stated? Great game, more fun than the original. Only one problem: the inability to change the controller setup. This is a much bigger problem in "The New Tetris" but it is annoying here also since a piece can go right or left when you are attempting to move it down fast. As far as games have come, and as many buttons as are on the joystick, and the programmers don't let you set your own controls. Other games have it...why is it not here???

Great Fun for Hours on End.

This game has a few minor flaws, but in the end it is pure puzzle perfection. The gameplay is so enjoyable it's almost impossible to put it down without at least one hour worth of play time. The multiplayer is a blast, the only problem is that the four player mode scrunches up the screen- making it difficult to see. I personally find the music quite catchy, but the graphics are nothing special. Also, the game does not really add much to the basic Dr. Mario formula of NES days. Still, this puzzle game is so addictive that it would be silly not to try it.
