Summary
Trauma Center: Second Opinion is “wiimake” of the cult classic “Trauma Center: Under the Knife.” The DS version sold tons of copies and is still to this date one the most innovative DS games out. Second Opinion is no different on Wii as it takes full advantage of the Wii’s functionalities. You play as the young new Doctor, Dr. Styles, as he is set to save the world from suffering patients.
Gameplay
This game is all about being a Doctor for those who don’t know. Players can operate with scalpels, needles and threads, ultrasounds, disinfective gels, surgical lasers, and all the tools found in an operating room.
In this version, the players uses the nunchuck and wiimote rather than using the stylus and touchscreen on the DS. It works perfectly fine. I was a fan of the DS trauma center and I picked Second Opinion with the Wii’s launch. I remember feeling skeptical when this game was approaching its release. However, after playing it, I realized that there is no reason to feel skepticism. When you make incisions, you’ll actually see your cursor shaking on screen because of your hand. This makes the game a lot more exciting than the DS version. It’s far more intense and entertaining. The game starts off like many games with introductory tasks like making incisions on a person’s surface and pulling shards of glass from a person. It’ll become more difficult with levels involving cutting out tumors. All of the tasks in this game feel intuitive. I often immediately knew how the controls were going to be for some operations just by reading what my goal was. For Example, pull out tumors. I knew already that I was going to have to use the Wiimote to cut, drain blood, and pull.
