Dr. Mario

"What a bad Virus!"

When I first heard of this game, I was told that it was quite good and other stuff like that I would like it but when I played it, I hated it, you will see why.

Graphics - 2

The graphics of this game are just so bad, the way Mario looks is just not good and the pictures of those ''pills'' and the viruses are also so bad drawn that it will make you feel sick, the background, there is no background except a blank screen, and the designs of everything else are just bad.

Gameplay - 1

Well, this game's game play is just as tetris but a lot worse and not that good since all of the figures are pills with two side each and you have to arrange them in colors (black or white) in order for them to disapear insted that in tetris there are different shapes and color doesn't matter, you have to put the same color four times next to each other vertically or horizontally, and destroy the viruses to get to the next level, it does not sounds that bad but it actually is that bad. The game play is just not so orignal and it is also a cheap copy.

Sound - 1

The sound of this game is very annoying, you can choose between two typres of music before you go into gameplay and you can also choose to have no music, my advice is t5o chose mo music since if you chose any music it will drive you nuts, the background music is bad and the sound effects are as bad as the game.

Length - 7

The length of Dr. Mario is not a big deal because you will just have to destroy all the levels of viruses and also all the speeds, and playin with music is a real cha,llenge but even tough it is sort of long you will not play it all because you will get sick of it. It is long but the problem is that it is boring.

Replay Value - 3

The replay value of Dr. Mario is as bad as playing Monopoly with a baby, what I mean is that after playing it you will never want to play it again and if you bought it you will demand your money back because this game should have had cost only 1 dollar and still it is too much money, so the replay value of this game is not so good, actually it is pretty bad.

Conclusion - 2

As I already said before, you will regret it if you buy this game, you should not even rent it for its bad gameplay and bad graphics and other bad stuff too, you can play it to see if you like it by asking it to a friend or someone else, but you will most likely not like it, there is a 99% of probability for you to not like it, 0.9% of prbability for you to hate it and break the game, and 0.1% of probability for you to sort of like it.

Overall

My overall for this game that I did not liked so much is the following: 16/60
