    By combining the story telling and emotions of a tv hospital drama with the fun game play of six different game modes, this is the best of the Trauma series if not a must have for the Wii. The game has independent game play modes each focusing on a different doctor with interweaving stories. Each doctor has their own background with great characterization and specialization. 4 out of 6 of the game play modes are fully co-op which work very well together (though we found the endoscopy lacked a bit). Of the other two, playing the diagnostic missions is like playing the tv show House while the other is like CSI. Each mode is fun and different from the others, as well each mission is different enough that game play doesn't begin to feel repetitive. The story and characters are bright and funny with a good mix of drama that brings all six characters together in the end. This game was surprisingly amazing and I highly recommend it. Expand

    This was my first experience with the "Trauma Center" franchise, and it was great. The gameplay ranges from frenzied, intense surgery and first response to methodical, precise endoscopy and orthopedics to logical, mysterious diagnostics and forensics. The story was a lot better than I thought it would be, and the characters are funny and memorable, with some great chemistry (particularly forensics expert Naomi Kimishima and an FBI agent she affectionately refers to as "Little Guy"). Cutscenes could have been better, but they are pretty good, looking like an animated comic book. The music is amazing, and the voice acting ranges from great to okay. Multiple difficulty levels, and the ability to play missions in all six stories when you please, is a nice addition. Definitely pick this game up if you have any interest, or if you've never played a Trauma Center game before. Not sure how this stands compared to the previous games, but I had a great time with it.

  1. Six careers blend in plenty of interesting variety, though pacing gets unexpectedly slow in the adventure-style diagnostic and forensic modes.
  2. If you liked the Trauma Center games, you have to try Trauma Team, as Atlus has evolved the formula so much that its predecessors look pretty primitive. For those that didn't dig older Trauma Center games so much, know Trauma Team is a much improved experience, many times over.
  3. Trauma Team is a great new avenue for this series with more variety to the action and a story to actually care about. The campaign is a meaty 30 hours long with the option for co-op is most of the missions and additional difficulties to really test your skills.
