Kitsume Reviews: Trauma Center: Second Opinion

By Kitsume | August 15, 2008

Trauma center second opinion is a remake from the DS Game Trauma center- under the knife. From the DS to the WII was a transition that was perfect; the controls can be a little awkward when picking your tool to use in surgery, but that was the only flaw I found while playing it. The difficulty is as you pick; I liked playing easy since on the DS I couldn’t get past the 5th mission. When I went up the challenge level significantly increased, which caused me to go almost further back than the DS.

The graphics were amazing for utilizing the Wii’s capabilities. The difference between the male and female was usually the chest in the DS version but for the WII you got the different weight forms and also the height differences. The viruses also had distinct characteristics that just stunned me while I was playing. The overall effects of the graphics were great, especially during the slowed time effects.

This is probably the shortest part I will write but the sounds to the game were very complex in meaning. The calming yet pressuring music made sure you knew if you were messing by the song changing when you mess up a little too much. Also, the different areas had different music.

This game is fun, the fun factor is a 5/5 and it’s definitely has high replay value. The reason for this is being the fact that your judged on how well you do in the game based on how many mistakes you made or at least when time draws to a close to ending.
To the story you get some neat songs during the story telling part of the game which really sets the mood. Overall it was very fun and I particularly enjoyed it a lot.

Overall the game hits high notes: the controls could have been improved slightly and I would have given it a 10 but other than that it has succeeded is counter part on the DS for sure and it is very fun to play as two different doctors in the game. I Will have to rate it a 9/10, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants the thrill of being a doctor.
