It would have been nice to see more thought put into the presentation, but fans of the series will feel right at home with this familiar layout.
All in all, I think Dr. Luigi is fun call back to an NES classic, with just enough spin put on the original formula to make it feel fresh again.
Changing characters can bring new stimulation but in the case of Dr. Luigi, virtually nothing else differs when compared to the latest Dr. Mario. A fun and competent effort using very familiar mechanics but which will fail to impress those looking for something fresh and new.
Dr. Luigi does everything his brother does, but sadly not much more. The new modes do nothing to spice up this aging series' formula, and I really doubt they will be enough to justify a purchase for even the most diehard fan.
The two new modes are alternatives to the classic game (Retro Remedy), but with the exception of Germ Buster, the Operation G is not as strong as we thought , creating difficulties that are not always compatible with the nature of the challenge. Incidentally, the two new modes offer some resilience in an attempt to stand out from the classic game.
Just leave this puzzle game alone, it's not nice to play. The Dr. Mario games from the past were so much fun and so much better. This one isn't worth its money.
Dr Luigi is a solid example of the Tetris-like puzzler, but doesn't do anywhere near enough to justify the price of admission.

The game comes with a Dr. Mario mode, Wii U GamePad compatibility, and online play,...
