Trauma Center: Second Opinion for Wii Reviews by Gamers

I rented Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the DS a few weeks ago and thought it was a fun game. It had an enormous difficulty to it, but leveled it out. Second Opinion is just as good with some new features to it as well.

Graphics: Anime models that don't talk for cut scenes isn't really my thing. But the detailed organs and things that you operate on are fun to look at and a little creepy as well. Good graphics from an artistic point of view.

7/10

Gameplay: Works a lot better with the Wii-mote than with the DS' stylus. It is fun and always keeps you entertained. Occasionally you might experience a problem or two with what you wanting to point at not matching the onscreen action. But this is pretty rare and shouldn't be seen as a regular thing.

9/10

Design/Plot: For Derek Stiles, the newest doctor on the block, it is the overall same plot as the DS version, but it also includes a new doctor for you to take the role of. The plot is good and you will find yourself sometimes just wanting to skip the cut scenes and go remove some tumors. The game is very hard to complete. It takes time and precision, and plenty of patience since you will be hitting the retry button plenty of times.

8/10

Value/Replayability: Good, because you always want to get a better grade on a certain operation that you know you could've done better on. Besides redoing operations, there isn't much more to find here a second time through.

7/10

Overall, this is a great game that is so much fun to play. It is probably the second best Wii game out there (after Zelda, of course) that you will find. Rent it if you are unsure, but buy it if you are confident in that you will enjoy it.

Total Score:
8/10
