  • Tetris is better than Dr. Mario
    Overall Comparison
    Frankly, I suck at Dr Mario.  My girlfriend loves it, her entire family loves it, my family loves it, I hate it.  I cannot see for the life of me how everyone is able to comprehend the combos and such that they build to win vs matches.  Maybe it's cause I'm color blind, but I doubt it because I can clearly see between yellow, red and blue (thank you Nintendo for sticking to primary colors)

    Tetris, on the other hand, I rock at.  Just give me black on a nice amber background and I'll get you past level 15 no problem.  Play me and vs and good luck.

    I think the concept of tetris is more accessible than Dr Mario as well.  Though I remember first playing when I was very young, I didn't know what I was doing so I just tried to make blocks fit all nice and snug.  Then I got upset when I made a line and they disappeared cause I worked very hard on making them fit nicely.  Oh well.

    Also, who can forget the catchy Tetris type a theme?

  • I love both Dr. Mario and Tetris. But Tetris for me clearly is the better game. 

    Both Games are classics and both games have tunes that are very recognizable and catchy, which is one of the aspects that can help make a game good.

    Dr. Mario made me focus a heck of a lot more when I played close to the harder levels... stupid germs. all Tetris really did was speed up. My brain didn't appreciate that either but it still made me focus.

    both games I'm good at. but not excellent. I find Tetris to be better because, it's just a lot more fun.

  • I have to say, I just played Dr. Mario like 4 minutes ago...and I really just didn't understand...It seemed rather complex in my mind (maybe because it was lagging on my computer, but still) I played when I was little..and maybe I was smarter then..but wow!

    Tetris I also played a few minutes ago...much more fun...much more simplistic.. :D

    • some times complexity > simplicity. I find it more enjoyable when i have to figure out what to do. Rather than just knowing what to do. so when a fps or rpg throws something in there that no other rpg or fps has then it gets interesting. because there are more features to deal with.

  • i really don't think i can pick between the two. i pretty much love them equally. while Tetris is more compelling, Dr. Mario is quirkier, more interesting. they're equally fun in my book...

    i guess you can't really do that on this site, can you xD
