Fair

Like an abusive boyfriend

I am not uncoordinated or stupid, and I have a lot of patience for tough/challenging games, but this game just made me want to throw my DS against a brick wall. If you can go back to the very first level after playing 20 other levels and still get a Rank C (the worst rank), then maybe the game doesn't reward increased skill enough. It was just frustrating and pointless, and while I enjoyed some levels, I found other levels simply punishing.

I finally realized that games are supposed to be about being happy and that this game was making me unhappy. This game is like an abusive boyfriend -- you keep going back and it keeps hurting you. I finally put the game back in the envelope and am mailing it back. I sort of want to tear it open and try it again but I tried the level I was stuck on at least 25 times, and checked online to see what the trick is, and still can't beat it. I should just NOT PLAY IT ANYMORE. If I owned it I would probably drag it out once a week to try a level again and again, but since it's a rental I am moving on with my life. Breaking up with this game, as you will.

Those of you who can play it, I salute you. But I just don't want to be tortured anymore.

Cool game but difficult at times

The first time I started playing this game, I figured it was easy. NOT!!!! The one part of the game where you must remove tumors was a challenge for me. You must be quick to be successful with this operation. The one thing fustrating about the tools is the magnifier. Sometimes it can be hard to circle the spot where you must do work. (This took away so much of my time.) Anyway, for someone who would like to work in a hospital as a nurse, surgeon, doctor, or any type of medical profession, I'd recommend this game.
