So I was able to finally get my hands on a wii the other day and this was one of the first games I purchased. If you're going to buy a wii, you might as well go with the flow and get the unique games that come with the system. The system wasn't intened for shoot'em ups with 1 billion pixels.
Trauma Surgeon is Japanese import where you play as a young, idealistic, and (sometimes) careless surgeon, going under the knife nip tuck style. It has the same game mechanics as that old board game operation. Missions consist of two objectives, completing goals and completing them within a time limit.
What are my impressions? Good, addictive, gaming. Trauma Suregon Second Opinon feels like a classic from the 90s. Trauma Surgeon has a very short learning curve and everytime you finish a mission, you get that need to hit "next". In short, the game has flow. You know, that trance like state you enter when you concentrate so much on what you're doing you lose track of time. All the best games do this. It's when you meet a perfect mix of difficulty with fun. In fact, the game even features a special move where the surgeon gets into his own supernatural "flow" and the time limit slows down.
The game sports anime graphics, which is a good stylistic choice considering the processing power of the wii. The controls took me an hour to figure out (since real gamers don't read instruction books, except for the car ride back from the store) and are accurate for the most part. The story line's pretty much like a soap opera, so you don't even mind the silly translation as it adds to the overall charm of the game.
The only problem so far is that I'm stuck on a stage where the "disease" multiples if you don't kill it in the correct pattern. Now I like to zone out a bit when I play games and that whole thinking thing, yeah I do that all day at work. It sucks being stuck on a level. I even checked gamefaqs and none of the walkthroughs know how to deal with this level since it changes.

Overall, good game and and a suitable game for the wii
