Turn your living room into an operating room. The critically acclaimed medical drama turns the Wii Remote into doctor's tools for laser surgery, defibrillation, forceps and more.
You play surgeon in this exciting medical drama simulation. You'll need to cure patients of everything from routine medical maladies to life-threatening designer viruses. And, of course, there's just as much drama outside of the operating room as in it.
In Trauma Center: Second Opinion, every second counts. Between a countdown timer and a patient's vitals, the pressure is on to perform a pinpoint accurate operation. The Wii Remote controller serves as all the surgical tools you need to save lives. It's a scalpel, a surgical laser, forceps and more.
The game calls on you to perform a wide variety of operations from resetting pieces of a shattered bone to extracting glass to removing tumors. Although you'll use some surgical techniques several times, each operation presents a unique challenge - one in which you'll be graded from A to C.

I liked the game overall but it was too similar in style to a DS title called Pheonix wright which I enjoyed a lot more as I didn't have to do all the fiddly procedures. Throughout the whole game I couldn't help thinking the game would control better with a stylus but since I don't have a DS at the moment I opted for this version of the game. In particular I had trouble with parts of the game where I had to use the wiimote to push into the screen for me was very bad but this is probably because my TV set is on an angle
well i stoped playing around the second set of ops im not a big fan of using the wii for single player games but those dam cut scenes. It gets quite boring after a few games seems like your doing the samething over.but still worth a rent.
I agree with the previous comments about too many cutscenes - many of them containing dumb gender-stereotyping. The age 12 rating is appropriate - not because the scenes are gory or the moves are difficult - because the instructions are in serious medicalese: metastisising tumours, lacerations of the epithelium etc.
a good game to introduce you to the wii control method, but i found far too many cutscenes which make it very annoying and it has a very minigame feel
a good title, but a little repetitive
