    The other versions are a bit better since this one doesn't really use the 64 bit graphics. The game feels clunky and that is my only main problems everything else is fine by me.

    good game! really fun puzzle game to play. If anyone wanted more from Dr Mario on the GB or NES, I'd recommend this. 7/10.

    This is coming from someone who is completely new to the series, Dr. Mario 64 being the first game I've played of it.

    It's hard, seriously hard. This in itself is not a problem, I found the game quite addicting and love a challenge. However, adding the fact that the enemy AI can combo and cause random pill colours to land on your side is frustrating in the final 3 stages in particular.

The AI are fast as it is, and I feel like the combo system maybe should have been implemented at higher difficulty levels instead.    … Expand

    A fairly typical block-matching puzzle game that's a little too tricky for the age range it seems to be pitched at.

    The learning curve of this title is still a dream and the game is just as good as it always was. The new modes are icing on the vitamin.

    In only a few days my anti-videogame girlfriend had become a wide-eyed, pixel staring “let me try this level just one more time” gaming geek.

    While not as exciting or enduring as Nintendo's last puzzle game, "The New Tetris," Dr. Mario is a legitimate and satisfying puzzle game that is executed rather nicely in this four-player-focused package.
