Product Description

Platform: Nintendo 64

Amazon.com Product Description

Back in the early 1990s, after the world had gone mad for Tetris, Nintendo put out its own variant of the puzzle game that, unlike most clones of the day, actually brought some new life to the original idea. Now the classic Nintendo game, with some improvements of its own, is reintroduced for the Nintendo 64. Rather than just twisting shapes to fill vacant spaces, Dr. Mario 64 will have you matching capsule-shaped pills to fight like-colored viruses. Players earn point bonuses when stringing combos together. Dr. Mario 64 comes with the original one- and two-player modes, and introduces a simultaneous four-player mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is There a Doctor in the House?, May 8, 2001

This review is from: Dr. Mario 64 (Game Cartridge)

Being new to the Dr. Mario world, I rented this game expecting only a simple Tetris game. But I didn`t. I found a mind challenging, crazily addictive game of strategy, thought, and lots and lots of patience. The many pros of it include great tracks, different and out of this world modes, and great colors and graphics for a game of this type. For any lover of Tetris with a lot of time to spend, this game is for you! Some cons include the simple animation of the characters. ( But I bet they did that on purpose) Any action lover and fast paced games will find this game to be a bit boring. But, for a person playing this for only the first time, I say... DR. MARIO FOREVER!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic NES game is remade for the N64, August 28, 2001

This review is from: Dr. Mario 64 (Game Cartridge)

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 lets 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 didnt 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Miss my wife and I need my sleep, May 27, 2001

This review is from: Dr. Mario 64 (Game Cartridge)

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.
