As a future medical professional, Trauma Center has always appealed to me because of the nearly-real simulations -- devilhand godmodding powers totally notwithstanding.
But an even bigger part of what makes Trauma Center, for me, is the characters.
Five hours into the game, I shut it off, placed it in the sleeve, and am currently awaiting daylight so that I can send it back to GameFly.
Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Blaylock aren't strong enough characters, at least to me, to carry the series. While I appreciated that I could play a female surgeon if I so desired, neither one was very well-played by their actor and they didn't have the same charm as Angie and Derek. The supporting characters were equally bland.
As a surgery sim -- and as a concept -- the Trauma Center series is fantastic. It's utilized the functionality of the Nintendo DS and now the Wii spectacularly, but it's just not enough.
