excellent and enjoyable
For those who don't know, trauma center turns surgery into an intense fight for the future of mankind. I guess it reminds me of Blackjack in ways. Anyway, you have to take on this contagion that can only defeated with surgery, a contagion called GUILT (?). Anyway, you'll soon be hacking your patients to bits to stop this epipedmic. You'll be injecting, sewing, and patching up patients over and over, especially during the boss fights and they'll end up fine (if you hope to win that is). Yes, there are boss fights. In these intense surgeries, you have to fight vicious evolutions of strains of GUILT, and in one case, defusing a very strange bomb. There are other ways that the game mixes things up as well, with environmental conditions like airplane turbulance. As if this wasn't over the top enough, the two main characters in this game each have super healing powers, which are activated, timed super abilities. The guy slows time, the woman can do surgery without the patient's vitals dropping.
I never played the ds game, but I would say it is a great port. There are some things that I imagine a stylus would be better for though. For example, the first incision is extremely difficult to get a good rating on, as well as some other aspects. I would have to say that I wish the inbetween plot sequences were improved more; they seemed very 'ds'. All in all though, it is a blast of a game.
