Topic: Anyone played trauma center?

I have got the opportunity to buy trauma center, new blood and second opinion. - anyone played those games? are they any fun? are they good if you can get them relatively cheap?

Yup, I've played both of them, and I can say they're really fun. The controls are perfect for switching from one tool to another and using it. However, New Blood's difficulty can rise unexpectedly, especially in the [spoiler] stages. The missions in Second Opinion are relatively easy and short throughout.
Bottom line, if you're not afraid of seeing a little blood, then these games are totally worth it.

I played New Blood some years ago and it was fiendishly difficult, even at the lowest setting. I did manage to complete the campaign though, however, I never got around to completing the post-game stages (which set the difficulty even higher). Now that you've reminded me of it, I may go back and revisit the game sometime. Fortunately, if you're having a bit of trouble with the game, you can recruit a second player to lend you a hand.

I'm disappointed that they've never made a sequel for Wii U as I think the Gamepad would be perfect for a game such as this. The Wii Remote is much too imprecise to do this concept justice.

Definitely get them! I absolutely love the Trauma Center games! I imported a US Wii for the sole reason of playing Trauma Team. They are quite difficult in places, but they're definitely worth checking out.

great games. i recomend second opinion.

I liked the original. The sudden art style shift in every game after was jarring to me. I still play them though.

Thanks a lot for the input! - still in the decision making process, though... coz I have a somewhat limited budget - and can either buy the trauma center games and something else (probably other M) or xenoblade chronicles and maybe something else... so I will probably go for xenoblade and maybe trauma center lateron...

I'd hold off on Xenoblade, it's a rare game so you will be paying a lot for it if you're on a budget and it will probably come to the Wii U sooner or later.

I always thought the Trauma Center games were great on both the DS & Wii. I keep hoping for a Wii U version that makes use of both Wiimotes and the Gamepad at the same time for multiplayer.

No but I've seen Game Grumps do it

Well, I am not so sure... I can buy it for 45 EUR, its not really cheap, thats for sure, but then again, I checked on ebay and they have it much more expensive. Keeping in mind that this is a new and sealed copy I am talking about, its not that bad actually... of course I could get both trauma center games for about half of that amount...

I love this franchise, own each game in the series minus TC:SO. Trauma Center: Second Opinion is a remake of the original DS game (Trauma Center: Under the Knife), and while it's got much-improved artwork, full voice acting, new missions, and better music, I think the control scheme on UtK is better. If you can find it for cheap it's still worth a look. New Blood is very difficult for a solo player, much of it's built around co-op. Even me and another Trauma Center vet were seriously challenged working together on the lower difficulties. I'd probably recommend Second Opinion/Under the Knife or Trauma Team for someone just getting into the series. Enjoy!

Thanks!

I love the Trauma Center series, it was one of the more unique games on the Wii (and DS).

Second Opinion is the easier of the games, New Blood is harder but it isn't impossible in single player (I completed all levels on my own).

I'm a huge Trauma Center fan. Few games stress me out (in a good way) than the Trauma Center series. I liked Trauma Team the best though due to the investigative aspect.

They need to bring that series back for wiiu.

I only own (and thus, have played) Second Opinion. It was very good, it even has a decent plot with gorgeous tunes and tight controls. Though the difficulty does have some spikes here and there, it's nothing very frustrating if you don't play the hard mode or go for an S rank. I'd like to try Trauma Team someday btw.

Second Opinion was godlike

Second Opinion was godlike

While i'd probably get Xenoblade over the Trauma Center games i've really enjoyed these a lot so far.

I could (have!).

I finally made up my mind and bought xenoblade chronicles, it was 45 EUR(new and sealed!!!), it came today, there were even two days left to get the club nintendo points havent played it yet... it was more like get it now or never or pay whole lot more on ebay.

Maybe it will be like 20 EUR sometime in the future, but hey, I like my games to be physical,- you never know if you are gonna sell them - and if you own a game physical, its yours! - you can do whatever you want with it, downloaded games are attached to one console... but thats just my opinion.

So in the end I just passed on those trauma center games, I have stretched my budget enough the last couple of months, actually I have never spend so much money on games when I owned the x360 -
