    I'm having trouble typing this today, as my left hand is sore from playing Lifesigns so much yesterday. And when a game compels me to play to the point of arthritis, that my friends, is a good thing.

    It's mostly successful, aside some bothersome repetition and a handful of other moments where the momentum lags. Fans of anime and hospital dramas will undoubtedly want to scrub-in to see what LifeSigns is all about. They'll be rewarded with an excellent story and some so-so surgical action.

    Technically clumsy and laughably silly, but it's still oddly endearing. [Jan 2008, p.56]

    Frustratingly, it plays more like an interactive story book than a videogame. [Jan 2008, p.78]

    LifeSigns is a fantastic game, and easily one of the most enjoyable text adventures I've ever played. Highly recommended.
