Trauma Center: Wii Game for Budding Doctors
If you have a budding doctor, nurse, veterinarian or other medical professional in the house, then you have to check out these two very cool games for Wii - Trauma Center: Second Opinion and Trauma Center: New Blood.
My daughter is almost 10 and loves everything medical. She watches when they her draw blood at the doctors, she grills her siblings on the specifics anytime they go to the doctor or dentist, and thinks watching the Science channel is cool. When her 12 year old friend called to say she just got a new game for the Wii, all my daughter could say was “Sweet!” when she found out that Wii makes a game that allows you to diagnose, heal and perform surgeries of your own.
She couldn’t wait to get to her friend’s house to test this out herself. (The game is rated T for Teen due to the graphic nature of the procedures they perform, but it is really a judgment call for parents to make. My daughter is not grossed out by it at all - where as I am. ) Once she started I could not get her to put the game down. She was removing virtual tumors, healing infections, and trying to perform perfect sutures and stitches.
Trauma Center: Second Opinion - (description from Amazon) The follow-up to Trauma Center - Under the Knife, this is the first surgical video game for the Nintendo Wii. Sure, we’ve all imagined what it would be like to become a doctor. Years of medical school, residency, and clinic duty eventually pay off in a rewarding position saving people’s lives. Or, you could skip all that and just put in a few hours after dinner.
The critically acclaimed medical drama simulation is making a house call on your Wii! Dr. Derek Stiles is back, but he’s not the only surgeon on call?a new player joins the team, bringing along everything the doctor ordered: difficulty modes, new surgical implements like the defibrillator, and an exciting never-before-seen conclusion. So what are you waiting for? If one dose of Trauma Center wasn’t enough, it’s time you got a Second Opinion!
Trauma Center: New Blood - (description from Amazon) - Keep your hands steady and your mind focused for Trauma Center: New Blood, sequel to Trauma Center: Second Opinion. This time around there’s a lot more on the line. Every cut of the scalpel, every pinch of the forceps, each and every second that ticks by is of the absolute greatest importance. If you think it’s too much to handle alone, invite a friend to assist with the operation and work together to save patients from flat lining. The adrenaline is pumping, lives are at stake, and only you can save the day. Have you got what it takes?
At a remote hospital in Alaska, Dr. Markus Vaughn, a surgeon who has forsaken the politics and power struggles of his former ward, quietly toils. He is content to use the power he has discovered within himself, the Healing Touch, to positively affect the lives of those in need. His partner is Valerie Blaylock, a promising young doctor eager to unlock her own dormant abilities.
When the facility unexpectedly closes, they are forced to return to Concordia Medical Institute, where politics are more important than patient’s lives, and doctors more concerned with image than their ministration. There they are recruited into the government organization Caduceus, where they will learn of a conspiracy with dire ramifications, and their lives will be changed forever.
I love that Wii is taking gaming to a new level by incorporating fitness, movement, realistic and unique educational concepts in their games!
