For those who have a Wii, you should get or rent "Trauma Center: New Blood". It just came out about two weeks ago
(NTSC only currently, Europe and Japan get the game later). Or if you're new to the Trauma Center series, give "Trauma Center: Second Opinion" a rental.
Background information:
Trauma Center New Blood is the sequel to Trauma Center Second Opinion, both are on the Wii. Both games are "surgery" simulators.
Though, they're not supposed to be realistic surgery simulators. The game involves fictional viruses/parasites called "GUILT"(Stigma in "New Blood).
The patients may contain a certain parasite, which will usually try to do harm to the patient. You'll be trying to kill the parasite while trying to keep the patient alive and repair any damage.
Gameplay video, Speed Run . Note - The person in the video is extremely good and fast, he makes it look easy and quick but it's actually harder for the average player. This video shows 4 types of the parasites and the basic gameplay of the game.
If the game looks boring to you, it's fun when you actually play it instead of watching it.
Differences/info between the games:
Trauma Center: Second Opinion:
1. Came out during Wii Launch, is a remake of Trauma Center Under the Knife.
2. The game is the easiest of the three Trauma Center games and is probably the game newcomers should start out with.
3. Single player only.
Trauma Center: New Blood:
1. Third and lastest game in the series. Recently came out two weeks ago.
2. Has single player and two player.
2 player Co op gameplay video
3. The game is much harder than Second Opinion but two player makes things easier(if you have two people).
I consider Trauma Center Second Opinion to be one of the best single player games on the Wii. Trauma Center is the game that got me interested in the Wii. You should either give Second Opinion or New Blood a rental. Check out the
game reviews if you want, also. (Note - While New Blood does have a 74%, it only has a 74% because only 14 reviews counted for it, and two reviews happen to give the game a 5/10 for the wrong reason).
