Trauma Center: Under the Knife is indeed a great game. It gives you a very strong challenge but nothing so difficult it becomes tedius after doing it over and over. It has a good story line and makes great use of the DSs touch screen. You gradually see yourself improving as you grab instruments and battle to save the patients life. It requires a lot of concentration. You have to focus on many aspecs at once, pulse, cuts, other vitals. In essence, you have a chain of things to do, but you don't know what order to do them in, it depends on what is happening to the patient. Some bad points of the game include slightly unrealistic happenings, such as if you ever fail an operation the medica l team 'just arrives in time' or 'I can handle this, outta my way Derek!' and sofourth. Also it isn't very likely for you to succeed in the operation first try, you often have to keep going and going, but, strangly, this doesn't detur you from playing, rather, you become addicted and keep trying to complete it! Lastly, there are no 'save points' in operations, sometimes it can be fustrating when you are stuck at the end point of the operation but you have to start from the beginning all the time. However, generally this game is great and I would higly recommend purchasing it.
