    Trauma Center

    Trauma Team is the best game on the Wii.

    Trauma Team was my 2nd favorite game of last year, and is easily the best game on the Wii.
    I really wish Atlus would make a new Trauma Team game. Sadly I know that will never happen at least not for the Wii.

    It really is a seriously fun game.  My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun running through it co-op.  It's definitely full on Japanese cheese in terms of drama but it's still great.

    You just reminded me that I should get that game, so I have something to play on my Wii.

    I just bought that game last weekend.  Played it for about 3 hours and traded it back in to Best Buy (I actually ended up getting back 3x what I paid for it), but yeah...that game was fucking horrible.  Have you played the Mario Galaxy games?  Donkey Kong Country Returns?  Metroid Prime 3?  I mean, I know there aren't many good games on the Wii, but games like Trauma Team are part of the reason why.  
     
    Seriously, have you guys played this game?  In the first 20 minutes or so you have to ask a 14 year old little girl to lift up her shirt and then you have to feel around her bra and mid-section.  Now...I know most people that like this game probably never have a chance at getting a real girlfriend, but mine was sitting right there with me as I was playing this part of the game, and I've never been so embarassed in my life.  I've played god damn Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball in front of her and even with her and it was nowhere near as awkward as this. 
     
    Trauma Team is definitely a great game if you are a pedo or are into really terrible point and click adventure games, but don't go into Trauma Team expecting a decent story or good gameplay because you will be sorely disappointed.

    I've been struggling with this for a few days now. I want to play a new Atlus game in anticipation of Catherine but I can't decide between Trauma Team and Devil Survivor
     
    Which should I choose. I'm definitely leaning towards Trauma Team at the moment.

    Yes, a game about medical examination is going to be awkward for some for the same reason that actual medical exams are awkward for most people.   Being from a family that works in medicine in different capacities I never saw anything that even approached socially taboo (no simulated gyno exams or anything) and definitely not as bad as some games out there but to each their own.   
     
    In regards to gameplay some of the later procedures require a decent amount of coordination and if you can only handle point and click adventure games, hate melodrama, or prefer things like FPSs exclusively this is definitely not the game for you.

    Wow that has got to be the most moronic thing I've ever heard, and I once heard someone say Spain was the 20th state to become part of the USA. Your idiocy actually surpasses that, which is astounding.

    Personally? I really liked it. It's not the best Wii game but it's the best Trauma game in the series 'cause you know, they got stupidly hard in a lot of spots unlike this.

    The quick look was hilarious and the DS games were great, so I understand your choice.

    @phish09: You're in the role of a diagnostician and the girl seemed to have problems with her breath. As a doctor, you have to confirm with a stethoscope. I'll grant you that the game character could have just reached under her clothes if you're so freaked out by a drawn human chest. 
     
    Anyway, the diagnostician is only one of six character to play. The four "action" characters have tense moments and ranking system to come back to. The forensic character provides some lite CSI that, while very slow paced, is fun. If you're able to get over the Japanese video game oddities (and sometimes stupidity) in the game's narrative, Trauma Team gives you a great and unique experience on the Wii. You don't come across many games where you save lives rather than shoot them.

    Sure, and they also eat, sleep and go to the bathroom, but yet this game doesn't seem to fit any of that stuff in there.  I'm not saying that they shouldn't have a part of the game in which someone comes in with an ailment which requires a physical palpitation, but why does it have to be on a little 14 year old girl?  IT doesn't help with the narrative or improve the gameplay. It's just there for the perverts who want to get off on some 14 year old girl.

    I stand by that.  If you're a pedo, you would probably enjoy this game.  I'm not saying the the OP is a pedo.  I'm not saying that if you like the game you are a pedo, I'm just saying that if you were a pedo, this game would be right up your alley.

    But it's definitely top 10. Everyone should at least give it a shot.

    Actually it does help with the narrative, which you would know had you played that game for longer than 20 minutes. You don't even know who she is, and that IS important to the story.

    Geeze dude, And why did you play the game out of order? You're supposed to go from left to right in the character select screen.

    They get sick too, right? She's a patient and a doctor doesn't get to choose their patients. The writer does get to choose. 
    Anyway, I think you're reading in this too much. That, or the internet has corrupted us all and made us paranoid. I would like to think that the developer didn't intend to be grossly exploitative with having a school girl as the first and heavily tutorialized patient for the diagnostician character.

    No, you're right, they probably would enjoy those games, but that isn't really what makes those games bad games.  It's just poor gameplay design that made Manhunt a bad game, and I actually don't mind the Hitman games.  I'm not even trying to say that Trauma Team is a bad game, just that I didn't enjoy my time with it.  I found the part where you have to as a little girl to lift her shirt up so you could feel around to be embarassing to play and I just found the gameplay to be boring and the story was basically a joke.

    Hey I'm not the one calling all people that play this game and all Doctors that treat patients under the age of 18 pedos. I hate to break it to you but Pediatrician is not Latin for pedophile.

    That doesn't fit with the chronology of the story, and it might be best to play the game according to the story's timeline. The diagnosis of the 14 year girl is one of the first episodes of the game. One of the next episodes is one with the orthopedic surgeon where you operate on the girl's ailments. It's pretty cool how the timeline plays out, though sometimes it isn't presented well. For example, you can operate on a patient as a surgeon that you diagnose as the diagnostician on the same time row.  
     
    If there's a diagnosis episode on the same row as surgeries, I recommend doing the diagnosis episode first.

    Oh funny...anyway, I didn't call you a pedo.  I'm sorry if you took it that way.  I wouldn't attack a fellow Giantbomber that way, but I still that part of the game is incredibly inappropriate.   I get that doctors do have patients that are under 18, but this is not a medical simulator, and if they wanted it to be I doubt they would have gone with the Anime style.  If this game was meant to be realistic then you would have to spend the first 20 hours or so of the game going to school and practicing on cadavers.  You don't get to just start being a doctor by pressing start.  So, the whole, "This is supposed to be realistic" argument doesn't work for me". 
     
    Anyway, I'll respect your opinion that this is "the best Wii game" even if I thoroughly disagree, but I'm not going to keep checking on this thread or posts related to it as I don't want to spend my Thursday before the long weekend arguing over the internet.

    Even though the game is not a simulation, doctors having patients at that age isn't out of place. I recognize how the first diagnostician mission can be uncomfortable, and I'm sad that it got in your way of enjoying what I think is a quirky but fantastic game. 
     
    In case you were curious, the two patients you diagnosis after the young girl is an old man and a adult woman. As you can guess, you preform a palpation on the woman and observe her sizable bust.

    I guess so. I was too busy making fun of his stomach. Rightfully so because you have to point it out to anger him and move the episode forward. I was stuck on that bit for a while until I started clicking everything.
