After all the glowing reviews, couldn't wait to try this one. Bought it, played it once & sold it. The graphics are stilted anime, the text dialogue is completely inane, attempting to select tools from the circular grid is frustrating, navigating the menu is tedious-especially since you have to do it over & over when trying not to kill the same patient for the nth time plus each redo means fast-forwarding through the dialogue. On the up-side, none of this seems to faze most people posting here, so there was no problem selling it. If your local video store stocks Wii titles (ours only has 5 so far & this isn't one of them), take this puppy for a test drive before investing...apparently you're either gonna LOVE it or HATE it!!

Completely inane

I am so glad we rented this instead of purchasing it. Over 90% of the time spent on this game is used to follow a soap-opera like storyline. This is beyond annoying. Very little time is spent actually operating. Except for one of the first few scenes, you don't really operate on a person with a real disease. Everyone seems to come down with this mysterious affliction of GUILT. Then you chase little bee- or fish-looking things around inside the patient with the hopes of eradicating their GUILT-induced disease. How STUPID! Save your money folks.

Awful

The surgery parts of this game are fun, albeit really cheesy at times. I wanna perform real situational surgeries, not terrorist bugs things in the patient's body...The storyline in between operations is especially cheesy and annoying. I ended up just punching the button a million times to fly through it and get to the next operation. And during surgery, the obnoxious nurse talks your ear off, frequently interrupting mid-procedure to talk about it. You get a good flow going and she stops you to talk for a few moments. Not to mention, if the stats fall too low, she says there's a problem when it's too late. They die immediately after she says it. Good nurse...waiting so long to say anything. Overall, I'm glad I just borrowed it, and didn't waste money on it. The surgeries are relatively fun but the stories, the music, and constant interruptions are too annoying to make this game enjoyable.

This game is awful!

I hate this game, I can not believe I wasted my money on it. The story line is stupid, the quality is even worse.

What do you people like about this game?!

The story line is stupid and even when you skip through it, it takes FOREVER.

I thought you'd be doing open heart surgeries and such but it quickly becomes you shooting alien viruses with a laser. You even have to disarm a bomb in one episode.

Don't waste your time.

I have a medical background, so I was excited when I saw the game. However, after 5 minutes of reading dialog about the history of the hospital and 5 minutes of reading what the nurse thought, the actual first surgery was a let down. It was difficult to use the remotes for this game and the forceps did not work well to remove glass from the wound. The style was Japanese anime with lots of reading dialog (no talking). The surgeries were lame. There are much better medical games for the PC.

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.

Strange, very strange...

We didn't buy this game, but rented it. I suggest doing that first before buying. It's very odd. The thing that bothered me the most was all of the talking that goes on. It's a bit tiresome. I guess it is a good use of the Wii features, but I wouldn't buy it.

Disappointing

The plot was boring and tedious. If you could skip past it, it wouldnt so bad, but every time you kill a patient, you have to endure the dialogue again and skip past endless screens just to try again. The gameplay was awkward and confusing at times. No instructions within the game, and I'm too lazy to read the booklet, so the learning was trial and error, and it was not intuitive.

A Rental - Dialog heavy

In short-- The surgery is fun. However, the BABBLING is Awful. It can takes minutes to click through the screens you arent even reading. After three hours of playing I eventually handled like 5 or 6 surgerys. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. They even interupt you with dialog during surgery causing you to make mistakes. Rent for the novelty but dont waste your money.
