So, when the original Trauma Center game came out on the DS, I was really excited. A game where I could do operations without having to worry about any sort of loud and obnoxious buzzing if I messed up? I’m so there. I bought the game shortly after

Trauma Center: Second Opinion sounds like a sequel to the oddball hit DS game Trauma Center: Under the Knife, doesn't it?

None of them except Trauma Centre: Second Opinion, that is, which (typically) will not be released in the UK for another month or more. It is a remastering of the DS' excellent Under the Knife, an intense and challenging surgery puzzle game, which

I am not entirely sure how to classify Trauma Center: Second Opinion. On one hand, it is a simulation game, letting you live the life of a surgeon; on the other, it is simply a high-octane action-puzzler. On one hand, it is a remake (the developers

Don’t expect lifelike realism from Trauma Center: SO. Sure there’s a bit of blood, but it’s represented as a red, cloudy substance. Basically you’ll see the major organ you’re working on set against a foggy background. All the wet and messy

The good news is that Second Opinion isn't a slapdash port, though it's no home run, either. The controls haven't simply been translated in a linear fashion from stylus to remote. You'll use both buttons on the remote to operate the forceps, for example,

Veterans may find things a bit too easy once they adjust to the controls, but those who found the DS version too frustrating should feel right at home, especially with the new Easy mode. While the game isn't particularly long, there is a lot of fun to be

So, what is Trauma Center's story? Not to reveal too many spoilers, but the story begins with a nice introduction for all of the main characters that you meet at the beginning of the game and gives a brief background for each of them. You play the role

Keep in mind that there's nothing remotely serious or educational about this game. It takes its cues not from medical dramas, but from Japanese RPGs. Derek Stiles, the lead character, is no ordinary doctor. Instead of backing through a door into the

As the game opens, players are introduced to a young doctor named Derek Stiles. He’s fresh out of med school, where showing up late for work and letting someone else handle all of the big responsibilities worked because no one really expected better.

As you can probably imagine, the Wii’s new innovative style of game control is superbly suited for the Trauma Center games, just as the touchscreen was ideal for it on the handheld format. The use of both the Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers as you

While it certainly seems as though pretending to perform your hundredth appendectomy might get a little boring, Trauma Center gives the experience a shot in the arem in the form of an interesting story. As in the DS version, Second Opinion follows the

Trauma Center isn't exactly like the real thing, though. The graphical style is a constant reminder this is just a game since nothing about it will make you say, "Wow, that looks so realistic!" That doesn't mean making an incision in a featureless

Arguably, this makes the game a lot tougher. Even though a television screen is bigger, performing the operations on the DS is like working with a pen: trying to use the Wii remote is like trying to write your name on a blackboard using a piece of chalk
