A great remake of the DS version with some extra goodies.

I'm actually facinated that this transported so well over to the Wii. The original DS game was good, but frustrating on so many levels. I remember getting through a whole surgery and at the very end, for the love of all that is good, the bandage would not stick for some stupid reason. I actually gave up on the DS version because of this.
This is not to say the Wii version of this game is without faults and frustraiting moments. It has it's fair share. Some surgery's controls could use a little bit of work but most work very well.

If you are new to this series, the controls will take some getting used to. I actually had to consult the booklet that came with the game to understand what buttons to push because the game pretty much asumes you know how to do it yourself. But other than that, the controls work well.

Another thing I like about this game is the playable second character that the first game did not have. She's interesting but I wish we had seen (and been able) to play her more.

I do have one last thing to complain about and that is the crazyness of the last few surgeries. I love the sci-fi tone of some of the surgeries and story line but sometimes it's a little too much and I find myself wanting to go back and pick glass shards out of someone's arm rather than battle a mini-boss battle in someone's lung.

So the bottom line is, if you really want a challenge (even on the easy level) I would give this game a shot. It's actually got one of the best control schemes out there on the Wii and it really tests not only your hands reflexes but your minds as well.
