| | | "The Adrenaline is Pumping, Lives Are at Stake, and Only You Can Save the Day. Have You Got What it Takes?"|"Keep Your Hands Steady and Your Mind Focused for Trauma Center: New Blood, Sequel to Trauma Center: Second Opinion. This Time Around There's a Lot More on the Line." At a remote hospital in Alaska, Dr. Markus Vaughn, a surgeon who has forsaken the politics and power struggles of his former ward, quietly toils. He is content to use the power he has discovered within himself, the Healing Touch, to positively affect the lives of those in need. His partner is Valerie Blaylock, a promising young doctor eager to unlock her own dormant abilities. When the facility unexpectedly closes, they are forced to return to Concordia Medical Institute, where politics are more important than patient's lives, and doctors more concerned with image than their ministration. There they are recruited into the government organization Caduceus, where they will learn of a conspiracy with dire ramifications, and their lives will be changed forever. Every cut of the scalpel, every pinch of the forceps, each and every second that ticks by is of the absolute greatest importance. If you think it's too much to handle alone, invite a friend to assist with the operation and work together to save patients from flat lining. The adrenaline is pumping, lives are at stake, and only you can save the day. Have you got what it takes?

The Trauma Center franchise began its life on DS, a cult hit simulation that was one part ER, one part Outbreak and one part anime melodrama. The DS title subsequently got a remaking for Wii's launch, and once again Atlus struck gold -- in Trauma Center: Second Opinion was one of Wii's best launch titles. Now, a little over a year later, Atlus brings us back to the OR yet again for Nintendophiles. Trauma Center: New Blood is an evolutionary improvement over it's predecessor, sporting tweaks across the board. Whether you missed out on the launch title or whether you've been a big fan from the start, you won't go wrong with one of the better Wii-specific titles currently available...From start to finish, the main quest in Trauma Center: New Blood runs about ten hours. The game leads off with a robust tutorial that wisely forces the player to master certain basic operating tasks before diving into the game's 40 or so main operations. Multiple difficulty levels, several bonus challenge stages, and Wi-Fi accessible online scoring leaderboards add some replay value to the game, as do a collection of (extremely) difficult operations that are unlocked upon beating the main game...Trauma Center: New Blood has not been as well-received to date as its predecessor, which is baffling because it improves upon Trauma Center: Second Opinion in several key ways, including music, sound and the addition of co-op and online leaderboards. At the same time, it retains many of the core gameplay elements that made Trauma Center: Second Opinion such a great launch title. It's not a perfect title, as is noted above, but it's one of the best third party offerings Wii has seen so far, and is a rewarding gaming experience...New Blood represents third-party innovation at its finest and is a solid buy or, for the more cash-strapped, an absolute must-rent. - Joshua Johnston
