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

 Its flatlining.... November 29, 2008

I tried to love this, I really did.
The story is annoying, there is no proper spoken dialogue, you have to read it all. Its not so bad at first, but after a while you find yourself skipping through this and as a result its easy to get lost in terms of the story.
In terms of gameplay, the first few levels are really good - pulling shards of glass from someones arm, fixing broken bones and even doing an organ transplant!! However, this mysterious "Guilt" virus appears and you spend all your time trying to deal with this novel disease. Personally this is where I lost interest, I liked the more realistic problems and I wish the game had done more with this and maybe used "Guilt" as a finale.
I gave this game 3 stars as I do like the concept, it really is a good idea! Like I said I enjoyed the first few levels, however as the game went on some felt repetitive and the story ran away with itself. If you like puzzles, then this game could be for you, however do watch out for the long written narrative sections which can be extremely irritating!

Surgical procedures are OK but the whole game looks like a leftover from the 70s, surely it could have been less linear and use real characters instead of cardboard cut outs?
Better than the DS version August 4, 2008

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 you have the hang of it. You can choose your difficulty (yeah ok i did go for easy!) but on the whole i thought it was easier to play and more interesting.
The story is quite cute and the characters do give some added depth to the game. Its a bit different and makes good use of the Wii controls. I'm very pleased i went for it.
On the down side i will add that i did find the Healing touch a little tricky to get the hang of but that maybe that's just me!

Bloody Brilliant!!! June 17, 2008
J. Lucas (The Best bit, England)
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!
