I always wanted to have someone's life in my hands.....
This Doctor Sim game is as innovative as the system it's on. It's incredibly creative and really immersive. You can spend hours playing this game and forget entirely about the passage of time as long as your patient makes out of the operation alive.
I really like game-play. You use the stylus as many different tools such as scalpel, a syringe, a laser and others. As some would say it's a neo version of the classic board game, "Operation," with the same general idea, removes harmful items from a patient. I would say if the board game Operation was a dying man, then Trauma Center: Under the Knife is the six million dollar man, being reborn and rebuilt with new technology.
Learning how to play this game is really easy, because you have nurse basically telling you what to do for the first few surgeries. That doesn't make the game easy; it takes great skill to do as the nurses say. The sicknesses get more and more complex as your skills become better.
I recommend this game to anyone with a DS.
