Trauma Team (Nintendo Wii) Reviews
This is the first Trauma Center game I've played, and I spent 21 hours playing it through beginning to end -- I'm not a big gamer, so this is pretty unusual. Every gameplay mode has its details to learn and master, and it's amazing fun, even if the science is a little off.

I never played any other Trauma Team game before, this is my first one. I enjoyed the game play and the storyline a lot. I liked almost everything except endoscopy. I hate it, I constantly crash into the wall for unknown reason, maybe I'm just stupid but I really hated it. Forensic is fun, I enjoyed it a lot, I like how they hint you if you need to look into the body one more time or look into the personal effect more. Surgery is fun, I don't like the "big guy" part that much, because I have problem holding my wii remote without slightly shaking my hand, so I have to put my arm on a table to stabilize it. Overall this game is fun, I hate the fact that I need to do endoscopy in order to finish the game.

When I first heard about this game it was here on Amazon and watching gameplay videos on youtube. SIDE NOTE:For anyone buying their kids games for any system [especially Wii] and are not sure what games are suitable or good I would suggest doing this! I mention this because I look into all games before purchasing them to make sure I'm not wasting money. I'd have to say Trauma Team is worth every penny. This is the first game I bought for Wii [black version/motion plus] and it does utilize all the Wii controls to a very good extent. Although I would agree with other reviewers that the controls on the nun-chuck peripheral do tend to change between each story arc. It gets confusing but the game does guide you through how to use them. Also in defense of the change in peripherals on the nun-chuck you get Ranks in each of the six fields to improve on which help you become more acquainted with the different fields. I found that it gave the game much more replay value and made it a lot more fun.
In Trauma Team, players will encounter unprecedented depth across six distinct fields of medicine: play as a general surgeon, diagnostician, E.M.T., orthopedic surgeon, endoscope technician, and medical examiner. My personal favorites were general surgeon, orthopedic surgeon, E.M.T and medical examiner. I found the controls for the endoscopic technician to be a little confusing and the diagnostician game-play I would agree was rather boring at times. The diagnostician and the medical examiner are the two fields that are definitely designed for the casual aspects of gaming in Trauma Center. In medical examiner your helping the FBI solve murder mysteries so the game-play is more reasoned based and requires thinking rather than speed to accomplish your goals. The same goes for the diagnostician who interviews patients to find ailments and matches them up with whats known. I found the E.M.T missions to be very challenging but rewarding considering you have to shift between numerous patients. Orthopedic surgeon and general surgeon were incredibly fun and I'd say that all fields to a certain extent utilize the Wii controls and peripherals nicely.
I was expecting this game to be a lot of fun and it was. It also has a lot of replay value which I find incredibly important in any form of media entertainment. I haven't played the previous installments New Blood and Second Opinion but I will definitely check those out. I would also like to point out that the story/plot-line was amazing and I felt that the developers did a great job developing the characters. When the developers can make you feel for the characters and get personal with them then they're doing something right. I originally bought this game because I'm a huge fan of anime and comic books so to see characters rendered in anime style and backgrounds designed like a comic there would be no reason why I wouldn't fall in love with this game. Its good to get away from murdering countless people in RDR or setting off nukes in MW2 to sit down and save lives for a change. Wii needs to make more games like this! I hope to see sequels of this franchise soon Atlus.
