This might be the best game. EVER.

User Rating: 9.8 | Chou Shittou Caduceus DS

Let me make this clear: I don’t like medical TV shows at all. I dont have any interest in watching surgical videos. But the designers of this game are very conscience of the fact that gory surgery is a huge turn off to 99.9% of the world. To me Under the Knife is the perfect action/puzzle game. I hate puzzle games in general, so I would say TC is only about 5% puzzle game at heart.

It is 100% stylus driven and that is what makes it such a killer-app for the DS. This game makes you feel powerful. When you succeed its because you have worked super fast, super accurately, and wisely. You have to perform surgeries in a very logical way that is immensely gratifying when performed correctly. What throws the fun into high gear though, is the super human gift possessed by the lead character called: "Healing Touch" With healing touch you can pull off Matrix style “bullet time”. In order to invoke this gift you must quickly draw a 5-pointed star. I only wish you could active it more than once per surgery.

With the next version of the game headed for the Wii, I see a very promising future for this innovative interactive game play system.

To tone my most glowing game review to date, I will add this game is very difficult for most people, heh even gamespot vets. I dont really have a problem with the insane difficutly for a change because practice has shown the operations can be performed surprising quickly in every case.

Bottom Line: Order it online. It sells faster than lighting at retail stores.
