  • Summary: It's a new outbreak of Dr. Mario madness! Dr. Mario's back, packing a prescription for fun--and now the frenzied action of the original gets even more frantic with all-new multiplayer modes! Up to four players can go head-to-head, or they can pair up to pile on capsules in Team Battle. Other options let 'em race against time in Score Attack, target flashing viruses in Flash Mode, or test endurance in Marathon play. There's even a new story mode that pits Mario against pilferers trying to profit from his Megavitamins. It's a puzzling epidemic, and Dr. Mario's got the cure!… Expand

    This new version, in fact, is much the same as the ones of yesteryear. But since that means it still features great gameplay and some of the best multiplayer in existence, you won't hear us complaining.

    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.

    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.

    Dr. Mario is too little too late and definitely isn’t what the doctor ordered.

    Un juego bastante extraño. Esta bien, ya sabemos que Mario incursiona en cuanto tema exista y en la gran mayoría de los casos con el pie derecho, pero este título nunca termino de cerrarme del todo.… Expand
