Great fun and Good use of the Wiimote.

User Rating: 8.5 | Trauma Center: Second Opinion WII
Trauma Center: Second Opinion is a fun game to play that is themed around an ER style surgeon. The game has some great gameplay, but there are some elements that distract from it. Overall though, it is worth playing and quite enjoyable.

The gameplay on TC:SO is based around using the Wiimote in combination with the nunchuck. As a surgeon you select your tools using the nunchuck and perform the operation using the Wiimote. Simple Right? Well, although at first you're given some very easy tasks the game progresses really well and adds in some quite enjoyable elements. The game is set in a fictional future so some of the techniques are conveniently simplified for the game, but it keeps things playable. For people who feel skilled there are three difficulty settings to challenge even the most advanced doctors.

The story has to be one of the weaker points on this game. It is narrated by still pictures with written dialog. That wouldn't be so much a problem for me if the story wasn't so weak to begin with. To help you get started in the game you're constantly interrupted while performing a surgery so that the game can provide you with instructions. Though its alright the first time, these instructions get repetitive especially when retrying a stage to improve your score. The story does do a good job of pushing the game along, but I have to feel like the game would have not suffered should it have been left out entirely.

Anyway, there is plenty to enjoy with TC:SO. Its great use of the Wii motion controls make it a unique experience. The game is fun and I would suggest anyone who is curious about the game to not hesitate giving it a try.
