Blood. Malpractice suits. Nearly a decade of book leanrnin'. Most of us don't have what it takes to brave Med school, muchless dig sharp instruments into our fellow man. So when last year'sTrauma Center hit the Wii, we finally learned for ourselves... how to save a life. Okay, it's just a game, but damned if slicing incisions, stitching wounds, and firing lasers at polypsdidn't make forone of the most fun, and perfectly suited, experiences for Nintendo's new console.
Above: Meet Dr. Markus Vaughn. Isn't he dreamy?
This time around Trauma Center: New Blood isoffering just that. Rather than a DS reworking, we've got brand new doctors bringing the dramawith anall new storyline. Granted it's a game that doesn't really need a plot, but we were surprised to find a fairly engaging little yarn in the plight of these Alaskan MDs. And the voiceovers are some of the best we've seen on the Wiito date.
Everything else is largely unchanged. As far as gameplay goes, you'll still use the nunchuk's analog stick to select your tools of the trade while, using the Remote to snip, drain and tweeze until your hearts content. Also back is the super-concentration Healing Touch maneuver, activated with Z and B to help out desperate doctors pinched for precision.
