Manufacturer's Description
You play doctor in the high-pressure job of surgeon. The stylus is your scalpel, but it's your quick thinking that will save lives. At first it's just another day in the O.R., but when a mysterious outbreak sweeps the area, the patients' lives are in your hands -- no pressure. Keep a cool head, or you’ll be out on the street. You play as Derek Stiles, a doctor who has just completed his residency and joined the surgical team at Hope Hospital, where routine cases are about to become something far more serious. The touch screen is your canvas, and you'll use a variety of medical tools and techniques to make incisions, heal wounds and remove tumours. Because of the urgency of most procedures, you're on the clock. Perform the procedure before time runs out or your patient is doomed. Trauma Center: Under the Knife is a little more forgiving than the real thing so now is your chance to play virtual doctor!

Fletcher "boy_fett" (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews    Fun: I have to say that this is officialy my favourite game for the DS, well in fact for ANY console at present moving into number one position past Phoenix Wright: Attorney At Law. You take on the role as a rookie doctor, Dr Derek Stiles at Hope Hospital in Angeles Bay. Here you have to operate on patients in order to save their lives. In the beginning the operations are minor and simple and you are guided by Nurse Felton and she pretty much tells you what you need to do. However, that soon stops and you are pretty much on your own. Yes, you have a nurse 'advising' you all the way but you need to figure out the actions to take while keep an eye on the vitals all the while. I found the learning curve quite steep as I tend not to pay too much attention when I first play games and this always turns into a mistake (I may need to work on this) but as long as you read the briefings and pay close attention to the first couple of operations and provided you can keep a steady hand you should be fine. This game fully itegrates the touch screen technology the DS uses and you carry out the operations using the stylus as your scalpel, needles ets. I've noticed that a fellow reviewer stated there is no skill involved in this game and that is based purely on luck, but this is not true. If you pay attention to the game in the early stages then you will soon work out how to play the game properly and increase the ranking and points you recieve after each operation. My tip is to keep an eye on the vitals and take note early on in the game on how you improve the vitals once they start to deteriorate. It seems to me that 'sarah' doesn't know how to play the game properly as she didn't pay enough attention. If you wildly stab at a patient with a scalpel or needle then your gonna end up killing them aren't you? But that speaks for itself I think. Yes, the story isn't that good but it's not really why I bought the game. I bought it purely for the fun on pretending I was a doctor. I couldn't possibly be a doctor in real life, firstly I'm not bright enough and don't have the qualifications but secondly what do you do with all those soft bits of the body and all that blood!? If you want a game that uses the touch screen technology to it's full capability then Trauma Center is the game for you. This game is all about paying attention and keeping a cool head and a steady hand. Get that combination correct and you can't fail to suceed and have fun along the way. I would recommend this game to anyone. Hope this has been helpful for you.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (
