5 Stars Nerf & Strike!
This game is great fun. I play with my 9 year old son and we both have a great time!

3 Stars Looked like fun..
You can only play for so long cause your arm gets tired.. not as easy or fun as duck hunt, maybe if you had a large screen tv, but on my 32 inch things are still kind of small so you have to really be direct on the targer and hold your arm steady

5 Stars Way Too Addictive!
I bought the Wii for the exercise but saw this game for cheap. It’s great and addictive. The sound is pounding if you are connected to a hi fi sound system. A must have for diversion and you will be hooked. Not just for kids either - I’m over 50.

Enjoy!

5 Stars Fun Game
Great Game! I really enjoy watching my son play this game. I really don’t care for many game using guns for children but this is a neat game.

4 Stars Shooting Fun!
The premise of this game is to go through different kinds of shooting games and beat the top score of your “competitor” to reach the next level. At each level you do the same thing again, except that it gets harder and harder, and the one new thing that happens is that you “unlock” new nerf weapons along the way.

On the whole, it’s a lot of fun to shoot at the targets (which are all robots), and as far as shooting games are concerned, it’s as family-oriented as it gets. You can play to increase your character level or play in competition against other players to see who can get a better score.

While my kids really like this game (as do I), it’s the type of game where you play it a lot for a while, but then have put it down in favor of something else for a while. Then, once the repetitiveness doesn’t have you turned off anymore, you’re ready to play it non-stop again for several days or maybe weeks. In the long run, you never really get tired of it.

May 30th, 2009

Trauma Center Under the Knife 2

Rejoin Derek and Angie as they deal with the unpredictable aftereffects of GUILT. With numerous enhancements, including new difficulty modes and new operations, handheld surgeons have a lot to be excited about.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Fun Game!
This is a great game which is fun and easy to play. Only one negative thing is that the game has a lot of dialog that can only be sped-up and can’t be skipped.

2 Stars Magical surgery and Anime sexism
An odd mix of surgery, anime-style drama (lots of it, and it drags on) and odd magical interventions. Some surgeries require timely drawing of a pentagram on the surgical site for success - not sure which satan-worshiper (just kidding) decided that this is how surgery works, but it is a long way from reality. Another odd and disconcerting part is the relentless sexism and fawning big-eyed and big-breasted females - not sure what they are trying to teach here, but it is not surgery. Very odd that the nurses always know what needs to be done, yet are constantly fawning and deferential - maybe that is a Japanese/anime culture thing. Mixed in with the extended slow dialogue, it got very irritating.

Throw in the magical surgery, the bizarre idea that surgeons would somehow be fighting infectious diseases, and the quirky uses of antibiotics and special serum, and it does not work overall. Maybe if you really like anime style drama. Just not for me.

4 Stars Great fun if you like surgery and long storylines
I bought this game around a month ago and I have to say that it’s one of the best game related purchases I’ve ever made. My only problem with this game is that it has such a long build up before each surgery that you’re almost asleep before the action even starts. The gameplay rocks but as you probably are guessing this game is in no way an accurate simulation of real surgery by any means. So, if you love to cut people open but don’t have an M.D. and you don’t mind boring buildup the this is most definitely the game for you.

4 Stars Like the Wii version
I purchased this game after playing the Wii version at a friend’s house. I like the Wii much better b/c you can play with a friend, but this one is great for single player fun. The story line is way too long and drawn out, but the operations are fun and challenging.

4 Stars “Stylus Trauma”
Trauma Center, this game is not for the faint of heart. During the beginning of the game you are literally operating on a patient. As the storyline continues the operations become harder. The storyline is very interesting and the levels of difficulty can make the game even harder. Be prepared to operate to save lives!

Pro’s:

-Dramatic/interesting storyline.

-Sound effects of footsteps, gunshots, ambulance and character’s reactions make this game more fun to read.

-fast-forward through text

-Can go back to any previous level and go straight to the operation.

-Lengthy amount of episodes keeps this game from being too “short”

-Use your stylus and your agility to keep under the clock!

-Viruses play like Atari

-Zap, stitch, drain, disinfect your way to victory.

Con’s

- Screen can be very sensitive to stylus input, especially when opening a patient. A line can be drawn exactly on the printed line and still count as being “off”.

-If you don’t work quickly enough the game is prone to overload itself with “GUILT” infections. Game over!

-If you loose one level you cannot advance until that level is completed.

-Levels can be unforgiving and become frustrating.

This game is fast-paced action. You must keep on your toes in order to succeed to the next level. The storyline is as dramatic as the surgeries. Recommend for anyone who wants to play a more “synthetic” surgery game but with action!

4 Stars Awesome Game - fun for the whole family.
Everyone in the family can enjoy this game no matter what their skill level. It’s a great way to get a little exercise at the same time too.

1 Star 7thof7
Ordering process good, timely delivery, but not happy with the game, White’s ski game is much better.

4 Stars Wheeeee
This is a fun game to play. Just a reminder to anyone buying this game, before you start playing it, make sure you go to Ski School. Teaches you alot plus you get new outfits.

5 Stars Adventure and Exercise
I am a grandmother and a skier and I love this game. My two little granddaughters could not get enough of it. I think that there are so many amusements and challenges, with ski school lessons, included that it keeps one’s interest. We use this with the balance board and it makes indoor exercise fun.

5 Stars This is one fun and versatile game!!!
I bought We SKi for our whole family which includes grown children, a 5 year old granddaughter and my husband and I and we have all had a ball with it. It has so many skiing options and wonderful graphics. The wii people are so funny withe their expressions and conversations. The ski resort is very realistic and there are so many options to entertain everyone. I would definitely recommend this game for all ages!

4 Stars Great Game
I originally purchased this for my 9 year old grandaughter, but it was a little to much for her. I started playing it and was surprised at how challenging and entertaining it was. Her loss my gain.

5 Stars Great Game
This is a fun game! It’s not too hard if you upgrade all your weapons! So upgrade, upgrade, upgrade!

4 Stars One of the Best Games You Can Get On PS3
When I first bought my PS3, this game caught my eye, but not enough to buy. I noticed it on sale about a year later and bought it. Wish I had gotten it sooner. This game is highly addicting and enjoyable. The characters and story are a lot of fun. The controls were easy to get a hang of. There are enough gadgets and guns to keep you occupied for a good long time. I am looking forward to the next “Ratchet and Clank” game. I had a few minor squabbles. The story didn’t really seem to move forward, and ultimately left you with more questions. I was disappointed in how little was revealed in the end. I also ran into some glitches that got me killed a few times. Barring all that, Ratchet and Clank makes it on my top 5 PS3 games list.

5 Stars must own
this is a great game for all ages. i must own if you have a playstation 3.

5 Stars 5 star
This has to be the best platformer around! It improves on everything since Ratchet and Clank 3. The graphic are amazing as is the gameplay. It also makes good use of the Sixaxis controler.

The gameplay is similar to the other Ratchet and Clank games (apart from Gladiator) and fans will instantly feel at home. The environments are very impressive as are the weapons and gadgets!

Children and adults will enjoy.

5 Stars Just Buy It!
This is really a great game! The PS3 should come with this game period. yes i got it with a bundle but it’s a must buy for the PS3! A full 5 Stars!

5 Stars Incredibly awesome
This game is awesome! I’ve played it over and over and still have fun every time. I can quote it in French, that’s how many times I’ve played. Never have I been able to play a game so many times and still enjoy it. :)

5 Stars Couldn’t Put it Down
Pretty much like all the other reviewers, I enjoyed this game immensely. Realistic graphics (strands of hair, shadows, etc), good story line, adventurous like a real day treasure hunter, not to mention plenty of bad guys for you to shoot at… It doesn’t get better than that.

Can’t wait for Uncharted 2.

5 Stars Great fun !!! X3
This was a fun game ! I bought this game used from Amazon. It arrived real quick and u couldn’t even tell if it was used when i checked it for scratches ! XD The game was great, took me a whole to pass it but still going to play it in order to get all the trophies.

5 Stars What A Ride!!!
I ended up playing this game twice back to back. After the first run through, I didn’t feel like opening up any of the other titles sitting on my shelf. So, I dived right back into Drake’s world for another run…and what a run it is.

I was immediately taken by the incredible detail of the world. The foliage is lush and green, the flowers are bright and colorful, rivers and waterfalls look very real, and buildings seem as old as the treasures that Drake is chasing. Naughty Dog spent a good amount of time on creating the environment.

The gameplay is fantastic. It’s pretty easy to get used to the controls and I found that I was able to master the moves pretty fast. The combination of action and puzzles kept me from getting bored and provided enough diversity to keep me well engaged. The two secondary characters that travelled with Nate were helpful in terms of fighting the baddies, but also assisting in getting out of tight situations.

The few complaints I would have of the game are as follows: the bad guys use the same few sentences over and over no matter how far I’ve gone into the game. A bit more variety would have been good. However, this does not take away from the gameplay. Also, the close-ups of the faces during the story board scenes come up flat in several places, especially for the female character, Elena. I also noticed a few places where Nate would walk off a ledge and still be floating in mid air. There were also a few issues with camera angles in the tight underground scenes.

My biggest complaint of the game is the final battle scene. It seems a bit anti-climatic and actually took me several attempts to complete it due to the story board set up of Nate.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this game from the initial boat assualt chapter all the way through the end. The replay factor is very strong, and I actually enjoyed it more in my second play than my first. I strongly recommend this game and look forward to the next adventure of Nathan Drake when he is Among Thieves.
