Doctor!!

This game surprised me. It makes great use of the wiimote, is a blast to play, and has a interesting story. Of course this game probably isn't for everyone. It basically involves you acting as a doctor and operating on patient after patient. There is even one mission where you have to dismantle a bomb! The Wii control really work and shine in this game and do require a steady hand which adds to the experience. It does get hard towards the end and sometimes frustrating, but is always satisfying to complete a mission. This is probably my second favorite game for the wii as of now next to zelda. If you are at all interested in cutting open patients and killing evil viruses, then I recommend it. Also, if you are worried about being grossed out, don't be. The graphics are very stylized and aren't that gross...there are some disturbing sound effects though.

its all right

This game makes great use of the wii remote and in general it provides a good amount of entertainment. The story line is alright, while the variety of "operations" is nice. I would recommend this game as a rental, not sure about as a purchase.

ok..

It is a really fun game, but it seems awfully short. Yes you do get a couple of extra levels, but they go quick. There is also a minimum amount of sound in the game. I had a lot of fun playing it though.

Awesome Game

Trauma Center Second Opinion (though actually just a port of the DS version with some new missions) is a great and challenging game. If you are looking for a good time on your Wii pick this up, just don't get to frusturated.

One of the most memorable Nintendo DS games released last year, Trauma Center: Under the Knife put you in the role of an up-and-coming surgeon who becomes embroiled in a series of surprisingly intense medical emergencies. So perhaps it's only fitting that such an unusual game would make the unusual transition from a portable game system to Nintendo's new console, the Wii. Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii is essentially a remake of the original for the DS, featuring redrawn artwork, a redesigned control scheme that's a great showcase for the Wii Remote, some new story sequences and operations, and a really good subtitle. While this isn't the full-on sequel that a fan of the first Trauma Center would want, it's a refreshingly original, tense, and exciting game that embodies the Wii's promise of being able to deliver great, involving gameplay experiences over flashy graphics.

Those who've played the first Trauma Center game will already know Dr. Derek Stiles, a young surgeon who is fresh from having completed his residency. The game identifies Dr. Stiles as the story's main character, but Trauma Center turns out to have a lot of great characters in it, even though all the story sequences are told in a simple, rather old-fashioned way, using still images and text dialogue. Nevertheless, the story is engrossing, and broaches some surprisingly intense and serious material, from patients with suicidal tendencies to doctors who are morally predisposed to euthanasia--and that's just the beginning. The story goes way over the top as Dr. Stiles discovers he has the Healing Touch, an ability inherited from ancient Greek times. Meanwhile, a world-threatening epidemic is discovered and believed to be a work of bioterrorism. There's a lot of intrigue to this story, and the dialogue is well written to drive it forward plausibly enough.

All the anime artwork is nicely redrawn from the DS original and looks good, but from a graphical standpoint, Trauma Center: Second Opinion doesn't have any bells and whistles that couldn't have been found on, say, the Sega Dreamcast years ago. The game doesn't even allow you to run it in a widescreen progressive scan mode like most other Wii titles. However, Traume Center still has a nice sense of style to it, and the 3D surgery sequences feature just the right level of detail to make them a little unsettling or intimidating, without being gruesome. The audio is similarly understated but effective. There's not enough speech, but the few spoken lines of dialogue that come from the major characters help establish their personalities, and the quality of the voiceover is solid. Also, the game's sound effects and musical score fit the anime-style look very nicely. The music runs the emotional gamut, tensing up during an operation, and the scalpels sound like ninja swords.

When you're not experiencing the melodramatic storyline, you'll be in surgery, viewing the patient from a first-person perspective. Typically, you'

I never got to play the original Trauma Center on the DS, but its alrite cuz this game is not really a sequel or anything. It's more like an update of the same game but for the Wii. This game follows the story of some random doctors fighting an evil thing call GUILT that is infecting a lot of people. The only way to get rid of it is cutting everyone open and kill the critters living in them!

Gross yeah, but I swear that's what you actually have to do. TC:SO is not a regular surgery simulator or anything like that. It's not trying to simulate real cases. You inyect random stuff, shoot lasers at swimming monsters and other weird stuff like that. You still get your aparently "normal" operations here and there though.

The controls are pretty good. The nunchuck us mainly used to switch items, and the Wiimote of course becomes the item you are using. It's very intuitive to cut, drain, remove and shoot stuff with this.The game is very challenging too. It gets very hard real quick, even on the easier settings.

As far as bad stuff, I dont like the lazy way the story was all put up... static backgrounds, static character images and lots of test to read with a few generic voice samples here and there. I would understand this coming from a DS game... which it did anyway. But for the Wii this just looks lame and cheap.

I can recomend this game if you can get it for cheap (or trading it right here in SaySwap!) It's good definitely, if you are into playing doctor and stuff. But the lazy presentation make me give it just a regular score. Lets hope the sequel does a better job at it.

pretty cool
