Trauma Center: New Blood

Two Player Fun, One Player Misery

Strengths: +Two player Co-op +It's a new Trauma Center! +Voices

Weakness: -Not an easy game, especially during solo play

Trauma Center: Under the Knife quickly gained a cult following after its release on the DS. It was then ported to the Wii as "Second Opinion." This time, however, is a brand new game. Taking place 10 years after the original, the game focuses on two doctors in Alaska: Markus Vaughn and Valeria Blaylock. Story, graphic, control-wise it is not much different from Second Opinion. Of course, a new...

Dr. Mc Sequal

Strengths: Coop play!

Weakness: much harder than the 1st

the sequel has a chock-full of minigame collections.The only downside to all of this is that some of the surgeries are extremely long and sensitive.Those issues aside, it's fun and rewarding to figure out things for yourself. For instance, an operation on a burn victim is horribly frustrating at first, but becomes rewarding once you figure out how to grow skin grafts, place them in the right...

New Blood

Strengths: Nice update for Wii, Fun multi-player play

Weakness: Storyline drags, Difficult at times

This is a pretty fun game for the Wii. The procedures one must perform to save a patient are interesting and at times very difficult to accomplish in time for one player. The storyline in-between procedures grows tiresome. They could have reduced or eliminated that part of the game in many cases. Overall, this is a good game for most ages except the really young ones it will be too difficult....

Interesting Initially

Strengths: Great idea for a game, fun initially

Weakness: Weak graphics, tiresome dialogue, novelty wears off quickly

The game kept me interested initially until it became redundant. Easy mode is not as difficult as others may think. You simply have to work fast. The graphics are weak. The acting parts in between levels are on the long side. If you are a person who likes a challenging game, this is not a bad start but it gets boring with continued play.

Something Different

Strengths: Gameplay, voice acting, co-op mode, online leaderboards

Weakness: Visuals

New Blood is a fantastic follow up to Second Opinion and feels like a much better game over all. It features the unique gameplay of the first game that requires fast reflexes and precision, but the presentation is much improved thanks to wonderful voice acting. Since the game has a lot of text, the voice acting goes a long way. The new co-op mode can be great fun, and the online leaderboards can...

New Blood

Strengths: Co-op adds a fun dimension to game play.

Weakness: Basically similar premise to previous version.

If you haven't played the original version of this game for the Wii, this is the one to get. It's more in depth than the first version with new features such as co-op mode, on-line ranking and 16:9 (wide screen) game play. Also, the difficulty in this version has been increased. A very unique title for the Wii and highly recommended!

Four Hands Are Better Than Two

Strengths: New Co-Op mode and Online Ranking system

Weakness: Instructions not as clear as they could be.

For the first time, you and a friend can play cooperatively as two different surgeons, working together to save lives. Trauma Center: New Blood storyline takes you from the wilds of Alaska to the urban jungle of Los Angeles and beyond. Having a second surgeon on hand to perform routine tasks like draining blood from hemorrhaging wounds and keeping the patients' vital signs up quickens the pace of...

Trauma Center: New Blood

Strengths: New co-op mode, good story

Weakness: none

It is one of my favorite game. I like it even more than the previous edition (Trauma Center: Second Option). The new co-op mode is a big improvement and is harder than previous one. You'' have a lot of fun with it. I highly recommend it.

Wants a second set of hands, stat!

Strengths: Improces upon predecessor. New co-op mode. Better sory.

Weakness: Hrder than the first. Some missions feel like you need two people.

Trauma Center New Blood is a good sequel. it improves on the first trauma center in a lot of ways. Minor grpaphical update, better story, new variety of surgeries. But it's also harder. They added a new co-op mode which is great with a freind. But some missions seem designed for two players. So the difficulty dioesn't scale well based on the number of players. But it's a good game, adn highly...

Trauma Center: New Blood (Wii)

Strengths: New Co-Op mode, Online Ranking system

Weakness: None

If you liked the previous game "Second Opinion", you should definitely get this game. It has a new set of characters and storyline. It might be confusing in the beginning about the controls but you should get the hang of it.
