Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With something for everyone, Trauma Center: Under the Knife is just what the doctor ordered! As Dr. Derek Stiles, players will experience all the highs and lows of medical drama as they save patients and learn cutting-edge medical techniques. The stylus becomes more than just a piece of plastic; it serves as a scalpel, an ultrasound, antibiotic gel, and much more!

You've never experienced fast action like it takes to survive in the O.R.! The patient's condition can go from bad to worse in the blink of an eye, and only one person stands between them and a body bag--you!

Gamers will feel like expert surgeons as they treat injuries and uncover ways to battle with a dangerous new disease. The controls are easy to understand, but saving lives is difficult to master. The challenging gameplay will keep doctors coming back to see the next dramatic event in Trauma Center's gripping storyline.

The Basics of the Operating System:

  • Before the operation: It's just another quiet day in the Trauma Center until a patient is wheeled in. If they need immediate attention, it's up to you to save their life! As the storyline progresses, you'll have to operate in a variety of situations.
  • Tense events: As you get further into the game, you'll begin to unravel a tale of disease and terrorism... If you don't master various different treatment techniques, you'll never be able to progress the story (or save your patient).
  • Briefing: Before each operation, there will be a conference detailing their condition and possible treatments. Be sure to pay attention! This information is crucial to the patient's survival, and will let you know what's expected in the coming stage.

I almost didn't buy this game since it just sounded weird, but I did buy it. It is weird. It is also very fun to figure out the what to do and keep up the pace so you didn't kill people. The operations are really great, don't worry it doesn't really look like the inside of a body at all. There are two detracting points to this game. One, the art just isn't that good, this may be a blessing as it would be pretty gross otherwise. Two, there is two much talking and down time between operations. The operations are really fun and interesting, but then you have to get back to the story. The story was pretty boring to me as you don't get to make any choices you just read it. Overall, I really like this game, at least the operations, you can speed up the talking so you don't actually have to read. Only the most squimish will have a problem with it.

Insanely difficult at the higher levels, bordering on being so difficult that it's unplayable. The first half of the game has high tension, and its cool and fun and just an overall great ride. But again, the difficulty actually gets prohibitive towards the end. It slowly slides from fun to frustrating as the controls fail to meet the needs of the games insane expectations. The final act really needed to go in another direction, still, despite the frustrating ending, the game leading up to that was so fun and challenging that I would still recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2010

This game was better than I expected. It is fun to play. It gets increasingly more difficult as you go and it is easy to forget all the steps required. I do wish there was some form of help to better explain what is required in each "surgery". I like this one enough that I will probably buy the "Under the Knife 2" as well. Overall it is a fun, challenging game that will frustrate you at times, but is very satisfying when you perform the surgeries correctly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why? Why? Why?
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2007

Why do developers make difficult games? Ok, so some gamers might like challenging (not mentally but mostly physically)games - so why not provide an easy mode??

This game has a unique concept. pretty good idea. However, the fact that it needs too much focusing and it's really hard, makes the game unbearable to play any longer.

I played it until the episode 3-6 or something. Thinking i will get into it more and it will get more fun. NO! It just gets more frustrating. Every single operation has the same elements: you start thinking it is an easy one (all the doctors and the nurse think the same thing as well)..well, wow, surprise, more things to take care of during the operation. at first this was kinda surprising so it was fun. But then, i knew that at every operation something had to go wrong. gets to be pretty boring. (whew doctor, now we can relax, let's close the incision....what!!! doctor, there is more!!! quick the vitals are dropping!!!) this is only fun when it happens once, not like 20 times.

you are required to be very precise, but the game isn't that price - it cannot detect the touches that well and the patient dies! the touch-screen technology in the world isn't at its best yet - meaning touch screens aren't 100% good at sensing. So why make a game that totally relies on the accuracy of the touch screen? Why not make it more forgiving?

I really hate games when it makes me fail 4, 5, 6 or more times. I play games to have fun, so doing the same thing over and over again makes me just toss the game away - instead of motivating me more - i guess there are people out there who are motivated by frustration.

I was still hoping that the game would get better until I read the walkthroughs on the net. It sounds like after a while it gets totally ridiculous and you try to kill the viruses or whatever at every operation with different forms. i cannot think of anything more boring for this game. So yeah, now i have no desire to play the rest at all.
