Trauma Center: Under the Knife for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

This game is over all very good but I liked it more as trauma Center: New Blood for the Wii. The only difference between the two games was that the Wii had more surgeries because you played two doctors. Now granted I only played approx half way through because I got sick of the same story but if you haven't played it for the Wii or prefer DS games you'll enjoy it a lot.

Hmmm... a video game based on saving people rather than killing them? Lame, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. Trauma Center is an incredible game. Few puzzle games are this exciting or this addictive. A great story mixed with incredible gameplay makes for one awesome game. The music that plays during each surgery underlines the dramatic tone of the game. As you get better at it, you find yourself amazed at how fast your hands start moving and how satisfying it is to complete a surgery.

The biggest problem that I could see with it is the difficulty. Some cases range from the overly hard (diffusing a bomb) to the downright impossible (removing parasites from 5 patients in 10 minutes). Also, suturing (a very important process in every surgery) is a bit clumsy and sometimes doesn't take.

But despite the raging difficulty, this game definitely deserves an observation.
