Product Description:
The hit Nintendo DS surgical simulator comes to Nintendo's new home console in this remake (or 'Wii-make') with vastly updated graphics, a second playable character, a new sixth chapter and new instruments to wield - this time with the Wii controllers. In Trauma Center: Second Opinion you take the role of rookie doctor Derek Stiles - a young surgeon with the extraordinary 'Healing Touch' ability - as he is enlisted into the secret Caduceus organisation to combat a deadly new disease. In the DS version you used the touch screen and stylus to perform surgical procedures but in this Wii version you can get totally hands-on by using the motion sensitive Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

Amazon.co.uk Review::
In a nutshell:
Now everyone can be a brain surgeon as you pick up scalpel and forceps to battle the full horrors of an infected intestine, medical terrorism and angry anime nurses!

The lowdown:
The original Trauma Center is already one of the most original and fun games on the Nintendo DS but although this is largely just a remake of that game it's more than welcome on the Wii. As accurate a simulation of real medicine as Phoenix Wright is of law (i.e. not very much) you'll nevertheless have great fun repairing hapless patients with ailments that start of as simple tumours to bizarre fights against evil terrorist nanobots. What really makes the game though is the simple intuitiveness of the controls, with the precise movement of your scalpel being one of the best endorsements of the Wii Remote's accuracy. The game's no push over though and you'll need to employ the mysterious bullet time style "healing touch" to make sure you don't end up the Doctor Death of Hope Hospital.

Most exciting moment:
Although the game is a remake of the DS it does include several new missions, an extra playable character, new operation types and new surgical tools - including a defibrillator which demands a shout of "clear!" every time you use it.

Since you ask:
A surgery game was one of the first styles of games hinted at in an introductory video for the Wii, which also showed people appearing to play games involving fishing, cooking and playing the drums - amongst other non-typical games concepts.

The bottom line:
Major surgery has never been so much fun as the Wii and DS line-up combine.-HARRISON DENT

Manufacturer's Description:
Heart surgery and tumour removal might look easy from the morphine end, but how do you think the doctor feels? Well, you’re going to find out! In Trauma Center, the patients’ lives are in your hands! You’ll experience all the drama we’ve come to expect from the medical field. So go ahead, toss on some scrubs and step into the O.R.—it’s time to play doctor.

- Better than the DS version
I found the DS version of this game REALLY hard and was disappointed and frustrated when i got stuck on a certain level! it was a shame because i liked the concept of the game.

So i was in two minds about buying the Wii version especially as it seemed pretty much the same story etc as the DS one. But it was on sale so i thought go on then i'll give it another chance. I must admit i was intrigued to see how the Wii remote was going to be used.

I am pleased to report i was very glad i gave it a second chance! the Wii controls are so much easier that the stylus! as you can imagine the remote turns into your scapel, syringe etc but the nunchuck is also used to select different tools and the two do go nicely together once ... Read More:

- Bloody Brilliant!!!
My friend and I spent a whole day playing this taking turns with the operations - I tell you its absolutely brilliant. Obviously there are some challenges and some of the Guilt strains are hideously hard but keep at it and you'll get there in the end. Honestly its so much fun I urge you to give it a go yourself - its more addictive than you can imagine!

- So So
It's average at best. I admit I haven't played it that much as it simply doesn't make me want to play it any more. Gameplay is simplistic, actual in-game graphics are poor, cut-scenes are pretty but just get in the way (you can fast forward through them).

- Trauma Center: Second Opinion
You take control of Derek Stiles a surgeon that has just graduated from medical school and Nozomi Weaver a surgeon with a shady past. The year is 2018 and most diseases have been cured yet still people get sick and a group of biological terrorist unleash GUILT on the world.

Gameplay is alot fun and this game is quite long 40+ missions in total each getting harder as you go along. Luckly you get an ability called "The Healing Touch" which basically slows down time and can help you in a operation although you can only use this once per operation.

Graphically it looks nice switiching from graphic novel characters and 3D backgrounds. The dialogue is mostly text with a little voice work added to some sections of the game.
