Well I have spent some time with Dr. Mario Online Rx and can do a mini review of the game. Honestly I am going to jump right out here and say there is not much to Dr. Mario Online Rx because the game does what it has always done throughout the years throughout the many versions of the game. The game is almost exact in every way to the previous ones except it has the quick drop from later Tetris games.

Dr. Mario Online Rx has a couple modes but I feel I really do not need to go into them, as they are basically the same they vary but pretty much the same. You can play by yourself, against the computer, or friends. One of the sweet parts of Dr. Mario Online Rx is you can play against others across the globe via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection I happen to be at 3779 rank against you all. I only have been playing the game roughly a week but once you know how to play Dr. Mario you never forget it. You can play against the world or you can invite friends or join friends to play against as long as they are registered as a friend with a friend code. Sigh!

Now the other cool part is that Dr. Mario got a Wii makeover version of the game, which I find highly cool. The Dr. Mario Wii makeover is called Virus Buster and it is basically the same as Dr. Mario but you can grab the pills and drag them to their destination while still being able to flip them around. This version of the game is highly innovative however the controls are extremely sensitive but this adds to the already large challenge of Dr. Mario. This version of Dr. Mario is sadly not online but can be played with 4 people for a rather fun multiplayer time of pill dropping, swapping, flipping, and dragging. Also I noticed while playing the Virus Buster version of the game you can point to the viruses on the right side of the screen and via pressing the A button the viruses will look back at you and if you point on a Mii that is fighting against the viruses and press the A button the Mii’s will state jokes, give you hints, or tell you to hurry up - quite a funny addition to the hectic gameplay of Dr. Mario.

In the game there is the same old music and sound as the previous version however the music has been updated and freshened up for a fresh sound.

In short Dr. Mario Online Rx is Dr. Mario but the addition of Virus Buster and online game play makes the game even more fun. This game is a nice cheap fix for Wii Ware gaming and I do suggest this game for anybody gamer or casual.
