Trauma Center Under the Knife ds

Pros: cool concept, innovative use of touch screen, plenty of operations, anime-style characters

Review: Trauma Center (TC) for the Nintendo DS is just one of those rare games that utilize the touch screen in a fun way. Rather than wielding a stylus, you get to imagine yourself into the position of a surgeon wielding a scalpel. Although the ...

Review: The best man from our wedding brought this over to our house one night, when he was letting us preview the DS that he was selling to my husband. I remember reading some reviews about this game and was interested for two reasons: 1) I had been in ...

Pros: -So much variety(one operation is done on a plane), most unique DS game

Cons: -After the 7 hours it takes to beat, it's mostly over.

Pros: Intense gameplay, excellent engine, and so many other things done right.

Cons: The game is relatively short, keeping you occupied for a few weeks.

The Bottom Line: This game is worth your money, and the simulation is excellent. A great value.

Review: If you haven't already heard of this game, you're truly missing out. Trauma Center: Under the Knife for Nintendo DS was (and still is) the best (if not only) surgery simulator, ever. You play as a young surgeon by the name of Derek Stiles. You join a ...

Pros: Great use of Stylus, adrenaline pumping gameplay

Cons: Nonsensical story, steep difficulty, average sound/music and graphics.

The Bottom Line: Get this game! That is, if you can stomach some mild animated blood.
