This game won't appeal to everyone, it's essentially a set of timed dexterity/memory puzzles. Its fun but not CRAZY fun. Had the publisher included a doctor-nurse co-op mode or a head-to-head mode I could see this game as a real blast. As it is, its a decent Wii game in a relatively small field of competitors. If you needed a fix of Wii and can't wait this might fit the bill.

Interesting Game...

This game it is indeed interesting.
The dialogue gets old and I usually skip as much as possible but when you are in the actual operations you find yourself involved and trying over and over to figure out the what steps need to be taken and which order to do them in...in a timely manner.
Not the best games ever but if you have extra money it is worth giving it a chance simply for the operation procedures.

This game is alright I guess... I do not feel it is worth the hype...It gets repetitive and boring quickly.

TOO MUCH READING/ACONTROL DIFFICULT

My husband is a physican so I thought he would like this game. There is just too much talking and reading! When you finally get to surgery, the controls are too sensitive especially when it comes to handling the forceps. At one point, when we finally figured out how to handle the controls, time was up and the surgery failed. I think with a little redesign, this game would be fun.

This game is very fun, until about when you get 8% of the way done, you have to draw a star on the patients chest to slow down time and they say its a magical tuch. It is so retarded I just stoped playing, it is hard to draw the star, and by the time you do you are almost out of time.
It would be a great game but they had to screw it up and waste my money.

A great edutainment model worthy of refinement and extension

As an educator I am routinely challenged to present the vocational world in a way that is accesible and interesting. Many if not most professionals do not do this particularly well. Getting kids TO college is a far cry from helping them decide what they should do once they get there. Games such as this could help.

I think Nintendo should develop an entire line of vocational samples and package them in one or a few games. I would especially like to see:

1) engineer, designer, architect, mechanic, computer technician, security professional, technical support rep, computer programmer, technical analyst
2) parent, manager, educator, coach, trainer, institional psychologist , social worker, HR manager, politician, organizational executive or leader
3) disaster relief worker, paramedic, fire fighter, police officer, explorer, soldier
4) financial professional, accountant, banker, investor, actuary, collection specialist
5) chef, waiter, fast food service worker
6) contractor, carpenter, electrician, plumber
7) driver, pilot, skipper, in-transit attendant, travel agent
8) inside sales, telemarketing, car sales, store clerk, cashier, insurance sales
9) research scientist, theoretician, politician, lawyer, legal and medical claims technician, insurance adjuster, detective, investigator, systems analyst
10) library tech , semi-skilled researcher , administrative assistant , secretarial work , filing , billing , telephonic customer support
11) (and of course health care) doctor , pathologist , nurse , OT , PT , psychotherapist , x-ray tech , lab technician , hospital administrator , health care insurance specialist

Any jobs that have a fairly high representation in the global job market or represent fields with especially high romanticization, disatisfaction or turnover seem like good choices.

I see MANY kids leave high school with the ambition and talent to go to med school, but without the correct disposition!. It's just PROFOUNDLY disturbing to see them again 4-6 years later as disillusioned college graduates in fast food, retail sales or office administration because they decided too late that medicine was not the career for them--and they either had no plan B, or placed no emphasis on a backup career. There are geniuses out there who could be making a substantial contribution to society, but who turned from medicine in their junior and senior years of college simply because they couldn't stand the sight of blood.

Programs like this one (when well designed and integrating substantial field expertise) have the potential to save parents, nations and most importantly young people so much heartache and money lost stalwartly pursuing fruitless and romantic ambitions instead of experiencing the satisfaction of realizing practical (and achievable) goals.

boring unless you like to read

More reading then anything, game was accurate. If you need to cut or stitch didnt matter how straight it was. Got prefects when I hurried or went slow, no difference. Not recommended

Fun..but Very hard

Lots of fun BUT you need super quick refexes and the learning curve is quite high...I would have been mad and put the game away forever if it wasnt for the fact you can watch how other people have done the operations on youtube!(just do a google search on the name of the chapter you tube is allways the first 2 or 3) not for people who get fed up quickly!

Good game, horrible soap opera

Good game that makes unique use of the Wii. As far as gameplay goes, it only has a couple of minor flaws:

- You can really screw up an operation and still get a C grade, and not kill the person. Use a laser randomly all over their innards, forget to disinfect things, use a scalpel on whatever you want, it doesn't matter. No matter what you do, you can't kill somebody. It's too idiot proof.
- The dialogue is like they went through a book and looked for random medical terms that make no sense at all when used in conjunction with each other (Better cut out that benign growth before it metastasizes and becomes malignant. Just don't forget to drain the cytoplasm first. Huh?)
- Between sections you have to watch the anime soap opera with the sickening plot that is supposed to support it. Just let me play the game. Please don't make me watch a poorly written dramady in order to do so.
