<div class="IPBDescription">You should rent or buy "Trauma Center: New Blood"</div>You may have heard of "Trauma Center: Second Opinion", well there is a sequel to the game and it's a great game. Notable changes from the first game.

1. A huge variety of surgeries/operations. Each operation is fairly different than the other, now this is a huge improvement over the first game because the first game had a lot of the same operations over and over.

2. Two player co-op mode, two players can play at the same time for some surgery fun.

3. Widescreen support and full voice acting. Also, online leaderboards.

For those of you who never heard of the games or seen it:
It's a surgery simulation game for the Wii, though the game isn't supposed to be "realistic" surgery. <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=4AFViRKT52U" target="_blank">Gameplay video 1</a> <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoWwQqKBcpU" target="_blank">Gameplay video 2</a>. (BTW, those things in video 2 are "parasites" that you must deal with during the game)

Check out reviews for the game <a href="http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/941965.asp?q=Trauma%20Center" target="_blank">gamerankings</a>.

Anyway, the game is a great game. In fact, the first Trauma Center game for the Wii is the game that got me interested in getting a Wii.

"Trauma Center: New Blood" is easily one of my favorite Wii games.

So if you have a Wii, check out "Trauma Center: New Blood".


Edit: If anyone is wondering if the game is possible to beat on single player, yes it is, check out my post on the second page.

    I might have, if I hadn't seen Awesome Center: Under the Awesome. Aliens in a surgeon simulator?

    Oh man, this game looks hilarious. I might have to pick it up, but with Endless Ocean and Brawl coming up, I won't have time to play it.

    I had no idea what you were talking about, so I googled it, and I've been watching that guy's videos ever since, and also crying with laughter.

    I had no idea what you two were talking about, so I watched and it was amazing.

    back on topic, I did enjoy the original DS game, though it got pretty hard/frustrating in the end. My GF also liked it, so I'm putting this sucker on my gamefly queue so's we can co-op it.

    Who puts a BOMB in a SURGERY SIMULATOR?

    Surgery simulator? It's like calling Call of Duty a Military trainer... or PilotWings a Flight Simulator.

    Good thing I am not getting Japanese surgery! "Use the laser on his wounds!" "Are you sure that's safe doctor?" "###### yeah, laser that ###### up!"

    Edit: Good thing I am not getting surgery at all.

    Don't they use games like Call of Duty in U.S. Military training though?

    I put a bit more weight on Gamespy review which give it a 50%.

    Said it's impossible on a single player since the game was tailored for co-op. I have no friend, so I'll not be getting this.
  • ThaldarinThaldarin Alonzi&#33; Join Date: 2003-07-15 Member: 18173Members, Constellation
    So that means Gamespy Gamer sucked and found it hard. Cry more. 50% because I fail at surgery. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    No. What good would that do?

    It might teach them that friendly fire is unacceptable?

    Well, they're the only one that gave the first Halo the score it actually deserved.

    So that when you shoot private Johnson in the back, you will have to spend 2 minutes looking for another server.

    If friendly fire was unacceptable the Army wouldn't bother covering for the soldiers who do it.

    Not at all, it's possible to beat the game on single player. 1UP's 5/10 review was also similar to gamespy's review, where they complained about one player being impossible.

    Trust me, it's very possible to do it in single player. For one thing, I've beaten the game on single player on medium difficulty.

    There are also lots of people on youtube who posted videos of every single operation on the hardest difficulty(and getting the highest ranking) and them doing it in single player. It's very very possible.

    <a href="http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ChewyLSB" target="_blank">Example</a>, this guy makes the game look really easy (single player). <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=7ldSldptGHI" target="_blank">Here's a video of the guy doing the same co-op operation video that I posted earlier</a>.

    Also, there are three difficulties settings. You can switch from easy, medium, or hard at any time in the game. If you have trouble with the game, you can switch the game to easy setting or if you want a challenge, you can switch the game to hard difficulty.

    Another thing is that in co-op, you lose slightly more vitals than if you're playing in single player. So, the difficulty depends depending on whether you've set the game on easy, medium, hard and whether you're playing single player or co-op.

    Edit: Also, if anyone is wondering what the "star" in the videos are - Once per operation, you can use the "Healing Touch"(It's explained in the game). This ability is activated when you draw a star, and it temporarily slows down time or it temporarily stops vitals from going down (it depends on which character you're using).
