Trauma Center changed the world a little bit, and we didn't even notice. Sure, there were surgery games before on the PC, but Trauma Center was the first really popular surgery-game franchise. It's so popular, in fact, that not only is there now a game that expands beyond surgery into other medical practices, but we'll watch a behind-the-scenes video for that game raptly.
Seriously, this is a game that is partially about endoscopy and we're totally on board. What has Atlus done to us? Trauma Team is currently slated for Spring 2010.
And as a kid who grew up playing a doctor game back when Commander Keen was cool, and Alone in the dark had characters that you could literally count how many polygons made them up. I have the proper experience of saving lives a plenty, as well as being called "Jack the Ripper" for moving the scalpel the wrong way a few too many times, to be greeted by a body in a toe tag.
So I'll both save and kill in this game, I HAVE THE POWER OVER LIFE ITSELF! HAHAHAHAH!!!
Is it just me, or does the ex-prisoner/surgeon guy seem really evil near the end, where he goes "We can still save him!" as his hands start glowing bloody red? Yeah... a certain VG Cats comic comes to mind cause of that...
And I wonder if we'll see anything like GUILT in this one too.
I would op for surgeon. It may not be the only medical profession where you directly save lives but it's the only one where you literally hold your patients life in your hands.
And another plus is the surgeon in the video is probably the only one out of all of them that drives something as amazing as a CAMARO!!!
Man, I hope GUILT doesn't return. I'm tired of fighting that dumb transmogrifying virus.

As an aspiring surgeon, I would kill someone for this game.

As a non-educated lunk, I will probably kill someone IN this game...many times.

Online co-op would bump this to an instant day one purchase.
Please, Atlus? Pretty please?
Even without it, I'm still onboard. The first two Trauma Center games were both great experiences on Wii.

This game looks awesome, even if I left med school last year

As an aspiring diagnostician or surgeon (I still haven't decided yet).
I would kill for this game.
