I purchased this game and I like it a lot. It's great. You run tests on the patient, make a diagnosis, and treat them. It even has a spot where the nurse can give you prompts if your unsure what to do next.
Emergency Room is Dumb!

Too bad we can't try these things out before we buy them! This "game" is limited in scope and, after the third crash, I gave up on it. Give me The Sims any day!
ER:Code Blue is a great addition to Emergency Room series

When I bought this game, I expected minor emergency situations in the game. What I found was very realistic patient vitals and diagnostic info in every type of emergency. The type of emergencies range from minor sore throats to gun shot chest wounds. Having played past games in the Emergancy Room series, I enjoy the addtition of a timer, which requires you to think on your feet. If you're not quick on a critical case, your patient dies. This adds more realism to the game. The only downfall to this game is its lack of cases and poor graphics (same cut and paste bloood and injuries as the other ER series games). If you like the other Emergency Room games you're sure to love this one, because of its enhanced realism.
Awesome game!

I enjoy watching the TV show ER. So that has inspired me to learn all that I can about disease and being a doctor. When I heard about this game, I just HAD to get it. So I have been playing this game, It's diffucult and has some Sassy personality. But it really encourages you to do EVERYTHING right, and that is how it has to be in real life. The one thing that I can't stand is exactly how to do some discharge and get points, because it isn't mentioned anywhere.
Good Game

When I recieved CODE BLUE as a gift I thought it would be fun. I was wrong. The easy mode is stupid because you waste time looking in places you relly don't have to look at. And also, I only have a couple of sucessful cases, and there is a lack of diagnosis options on the charts. I tried to find lead poisoning, and I couldn't. So my advice to you is to buy this only if you want to have a VERY CHALLENGING TIME!
Not for ME

This is not an ME version. It will play on my computer, but the sound is garbled. It also sometimes causes windows to crash when I turn it off. The game is engaging. Hint- fill out your report before you finish with the patient or else you get yelled at during the review. This is the first type of er game that I have played, and I recommend it. The first few patients may get testy while you fumble through the instruments. It is thought provoking game, so only get it you are patient. Good luck.
Different, entertaining, has promise

The plus side is that it isn't a first-person shooter. The minus side is that after a while it feels like "Doctor" (the Hasbro game with the cartoon body and the buzzers) spiced up with quicktime mini-movies.
As a rapidly rising doctor in a busy emergency room you interact with a photo-real patient within the context of Exam Room, Lab, Imaging, and Treatment. As you apply the tools (EKG, and stethoscope, x-ray and blood workup, oxygen and I.V...) to the appropriate body parts, and make the correct entries in your chart, your score rises. At various junctures actor-portrayed characters (the crusty Chief of Staff, the caring young Intern), will speak to you and perhaps share a little of their own story.
Very scary and veryyyyy fun

I thought this game was totally off the hook. The only thing I didn't really like is how everyone starts yelling at you and its very scary for me!Mostly the chief of staff she's like what were you thinking.....But I absolutley loved the game!!!!!I recomend this game for anyone that is in to this ER stuff to get it and also code red just look at the price for code red.(it's very cheap so I have both games now!)
too hard to use

I bought this game, as a critical care nurse, for the fun of it. Too bad, as I can easily diagnose the problems and know what to do next, I can't get the software to do what I want. For example, when a patient has a "cardiac arrest", (has a lethal arrhythmia) I want to get the defibrillator and shock, but I can't get the software to do it...so the chief doctor comes on and says I've killed the patient. So much for fun!
ADDICTIVE!!!

Being a person who might want to become a doctor one day, this game was fun and educational. I learned a lot about diagnosis and what to do for different cases. The cases were intersting and the "pressure is on". Fun for everyone. VERY ADDICTIVE!
