We all remember the board game "Operation" when we were young. A pair of forceps, tiny plastic body parts, and your nerves.

This game captures all that excitement, and a whole of a lot more. It requires all those steady nerves that the old board game needed, and then some.

Some of the later operations are pretty tough. But the feeling you get when you save a life... its a rush.

If you like this, try Phoenix Wright, too. Two of the best "Profession simulator" games out there, hands down.

I gave this game an 8 only because it is one of the only games of its kind and if you like the concept of being a surgeon then you will like this game. It has a varity of differnt surgeon tools from lasers to your special power of the "healing touch". Great challenge even for the best of Ds players. Good story line for a doctor situation.Its about a rookie doctor that starts work at a hospitol and is on his way up, when you find out that you have the "healing touch" and there is a lethal strands of "GUILT" infecting the populous. From there even more intresting things happen I let you decide if you think its ok... But the games replay is kinda off to be only because you repeat the surguries only at harder difficulty and shorter times... but I may add if you like that kinda thing than this game is for you.

When is a game classified as too hard?

Im a major gamer. I've been playing video games since I can remember. This game had a new idea that was absolutely perfect. It made excellent use of the stylus. The best reason for the touch screen that I've seen yet.
However, the gaming experience took all the sparkle out of it. The game was just too hard. Im usually cool with a little challenge, but this was WAY too much. I couldn't get past Level 3, stage 3 (at least thats what Im calling it). The time limits were short, the people were dying too fast, and what they were asking me to do was unbelievable. As you can see, I gave this game a 6 rating.
