Cheat Code Central

Despite being a little light on content, the core game is intact and it's seriously absorbing. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one.

Nintendo Life

In the end, Dr. Mario Express still features the same addictive gameplay the title has become so well known for over the years and it ends up being a welcome addition to a DSiWare game library that's been a bit lacking to date.

Modojo

Nevertheless, if you're a fan of puzzle games and want to treat your DSi (and yourself) to something fun for both quick and lengthy sessions, Dr. Mario Express is worth the prescription.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

The lack of any multiplayer modes is a real shame. [July 2009, p.95]

IGN

This Express version is light on features but offers the core Dr. Mario experience in an inexpensive, downloadable, and portable dose. The lack of human-on-human multiplayer is disappointing but it's still a solid single-player experience.

Pocket Gamer UK

A Little Bit of... Dr Mario is a challenging and enjoyable match-four game, but one that's undermined by poor presentation.

Eurogamer Portugal

It is little appealing and don't bring anything new. It lacks in game modes (no two Player Versus), and all this combined, leaves much of the success of Dr. Mario delivered to the nostalgic feeling that you'll get while playing it.

Nathan W gave it a7:
A nice puzzle game, but with no online mode and a somewhat-steep learning curve for players new to the series, it may or may not be worth the points based on whether or not you like puzzle games.
