Hey Kids! Trauma Team'll be released in a few weeks, so you wanna see some good reasons to buy this game?
Ok... now the reasons to get this game.
Trauma Team is more than just a great game in the Atlus Trauma franchise, it has the potential to be the start of another solid series from the developer. With the exception of Endoscopy, I’d like to see more of all of these specialties. The six distinctly different modes, along with six main characters, add plenty of variety to Trauma Team while keeping it constantly feeling fresh. A few setbacks mar the overall game, but the experience was mostly positive, and definitely fun. If you can look past the cheesy dialogue and some questionable plot devices, Trauma Team is very enjoyable.
VEREDICT: Buy It
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. There's so much varied game play and story content in Trauma Center that I feel like it's easy to recommend to just about anyone.
Score: 8.5
Concept:Lean toward realism and add in more doctor disciplines to spice up this surgery sim
Graphics:New motion comics add much more excitement than the static talking heads of old
Sound:Loads of good voice acting mixed with dramatic doctor music
Playability:Surgery controls are just as tight as past Trauma entries and new activities operate inside of the Wii’s limitations
Entertainment:Six careers blend in plenty of interesting variety, though pacing gets unexpectedly slow in the adventure-style diagnostic and forensic modes
Score 8.0
Trauma Team is the most fun I have ever had with an entry in Atlus’ Trauma Center line of games. It’s accessible, entertaining and quite addicting. As of now, I’ve spent over 25 hours playing, and can’t wait to start tackling the harder difficulty levels and work towards earning the 48 medals scattered throughout the available cases. I found myself falling in love with all of the characters, even the ones I thought I’d end up loathing (looking at you Dr. Freebird!). Even though the co-op multiplayer is sometimes frustrating, the overall experience is absolutely wonderful. It’s simply a fantastic game.
Score: 4.5/5
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. For $39.99, Trauma Team is an easy recommendation for Wii owners.
Score: 8.7
