Trauma Center: Second Opinion
So I got to play this Trauma Center game for the Wii that is apparently the third best game for it (under Zelda and Madden, of course) and I will say it's quite different from anything I have ever played before. You are put in the position of a surgeon in a very Japanimation operating room and required to use your Wii controller to slice open bodies and fix peoples problems. I don't know if I would pay a full $50 for the game, but it was certainly interesting. Some of the procedures struck a little close to home (I had to mend a rock-stars broken vocal chords) and as long as you remember the order you are supposed to do things in you'll be a fine doctor. I guess as the game progresses the surgeries become more fatal and the pressure is on, so the game is very good at recreating that atmosphere. Maybe I should rethink my Theater Major and go into nursing...or maybe not.
