Medical Sim or just Sim Sim?

User Rating: 5.6 | ER (2005) PC
This is either a bad version of the original sims or a terrible medical simulation. First off, the game is loosely linked to the ER TV show, in that they use the actors names. Thats about as far as the likeness goes. This isnt really a challenge of medical knowlege as you just click on the victom and they are healed. Sometimes you send them off for proceedures and such and those victoms will come back to the ER later on. Then you have to FIND them in order to finish their treatment. (More clicking on them) This game is more of a mini fetching quest game, running around the hospital talking to people. The interface is not pleasent to work with. Movement of the character around the screen is painful. The graphics are old school, which would have been ok, if it were not so hard to manipulate the characters. Again it was just painful to move around. I have wanted a good medical simulation game for a while now and this one doesnt even come close to fitting the bill. I wouldnt recommend this game to anyone looking for a medical simulation and I would recommend something like Sims 2 to someone looking for a social interaction game with character creation and building.
