This review is from: Trauma Team (Video Game)

My daughter, who bought the game, wrote the following review:

In my opinion, Trauma Team is the best game in the Trauma Center Series. I really liked that they took away the timer (on most of the operations, a few have time limits). That allows you to be more precise and not be so rushed. However, the fast-paced action is not lost. In first response, it's a race to keep all of your patients alive. Some of them are brought to you in critical condition. I also liked forensics and diagnosis (especially forensics). Forensics stars Naomi Kimishima (also known as Nozomi Weaver), who was playable in Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Naomi's field lets you examine bodies, investigate crime scenes, and put together information (which usually surfaces the killer's identity). This game, which is a steal for $40, was one of the best purchases I ever made!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tight controls, new gameplay alternatives, May 20, 2010

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Trauma Team (Video Game)

The controls are as tight as ever, and this game is still entertaining, but beware if you are looking for more of the high-pressure surgeries and challenging gameplay as you may be disappointed. To make the game more accessible (and also to keep it from becoming stale) this installment adds the possibility of working as six different doctors, not just the lead surgeon. There is a "doctor dash" which makes you treat 5 different injured patients at the same time, adding a very unique tension, although at times it can feel like half-baked minigames. The new Orthopedics and Endoscopy are more similar to the traditional "Trauma" series, but each adds new unique twists.

The two other new modes are a "diagnosis" and a "forensics." You have to analyze patient statements and survey a crime scene. They are very intriguing and some scenarios are quite engaging, though it feels fairly removed from the more traditional "Trauma" gameplay. These two modes also slow-down gameplay considerably.

It also has a coop mode, but if you decide to skip it you're not really missing a whole lot.

In short, the game offers more gameplay options, the overall difficulty is lower, the game feels shorter than previous installments (owing to the adventure-style diagnosis and forensics modes). Overall still entertaining.

This review is from: Trauma Team (Video Game)

All I can say is that if you liked Trauma: New Blood, you'll LOVE Trauma Team! Too many time game developers rush to make a sequel and it ends up a sorry re-hashed version of the first game. Not the case here. The game developers really did their homework.

The concept is pretty unique. You perform operations in 5 different areas and as you progress through the game an intricate story unfolds for each character. It's told through motion comic in an anime style and is extremely cheesy. It's like watching a bad soap opera. But trust me, the awfulness really draws you in.

You can play in any one of 5 areas:

General Surgery: Similar to the previous games in the series. This time the storyline is you play as a mysterious surgeon serving a 250yr prison sentence for a crime he may or may not have committed. HUH??!?!!

Orthopedics: Similar to surgery but you get to use special ortho tools. It makes the gameplay less redundant. Here you play as this big lumbering orthopedic doc who's also a superhero on his off hours.

ER: Here the focus is on stabilizing multiple patients as soon as possible. And again, some of the tools and tasks are different. Here you're this super-hot type A latina ER doc.

Endoscopy: I don't really like this part of the game. You basically push a scope down an orifice (mouth, GI tract, etc.) and burn things, clamp bleeds, etc. The controls are complicated and it can make you really dizzy but anyone who's pushed a scope in real life would say the same thing. So I appreciate the game designers trying to branch out and try something different. The character is pretty lame too.

Diagnosis: Here you work as this brash Internal Med doc (ie House) and have to find clues from history, physical exam, labs, and imaging to make a diagnosis. As someone who's about to graduate from medical school i love this part of the game because i pick up on what the game developers were going for with the clues. But for non-medical ppl I could see this part of the game being really boring and tedious.

Forensics: You work as this ghost-whispereresque forensics person who has to find clues after a patient has died to figure out what happened. This is my least favorite part of the game. but other ppl, especially CSI fans, may find it to be a lot of fun.

Basically the game has something for everyone in terms of gameplay and a progressive storyline that makes you feel like you are getting you're money's worth.

GET THIS GAME! It's a MUST OWN for the wii.
