Game Storyline
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. Trauma Center puts you in the position of having to make life or death choices at the operating table.
Heart surgery and tumor removal might look easy from the morphine end, but how do you think the doctor feels? Well, you're going to find out! In Trauma Center, patients' lives are in your hands. You'll experience all the drama we've come to expect from the medical field. So go ahead, toss on some scrubs and step into the O.R.--it's time to play doctor.
Gameplay
Trauma Center: Second Opinion, is a robust "Wii-make" of the game "Under the Knife," and features a totally revamped medical toolkit that includes scalpels, forceps, defibrillator paddles, syringes, and more--all designed specifically for use with the Wii Remote.
Other game features include new graphics and animation, new and remixed musical themes, new surgical implements (including a defibrillator), and operation types, a second playable character with all-new missions, multiple difficulty modes for gamers of all skill levels, and a revised control system that takes full advantage of the revolutionary Wii Remote.

Customer Reviews
Trauma Center: Second Review
If there were any quality launch titles for the Wii, they were Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and this game, Trauma Center: Second Opinion. Which is why I was a bit surprised when I discovered the 1-star rating it had here on Amazon.ca. The Wii wasn't built for mind-blowing graphics, but to offer new control options to create new, more interesting styles of games. And I feel that the people at Atlus understood that more than anyone when they created this game. It's a tremendous amount of fun and the Wii controls work beautifully. It may have a soapy storyline and the operations may not represent reality too well, but it is what it is: A fun, challenging and unique title that should stand proudly with many of the Wii's other AAA titles.

I like blood. I like guts. I like medical stuff. So I figured this game would be a lot of fun, and put it on my wish list. Luckily, I rented it and found out how horrible it is. Clunky graphics, whiny characters and tedious operations. The character conversation and underlying patronizing quality of the writing (hey, maybe it is like a doctor after all :) made me very happy to NOT get this game. Given the possibilities of technology, this should be a great game. I am very disappointed.
