Sure, we've all imagined what it would be like to become a doctor. Years of medical school, residency, and clinic duty eventually pay off in a rewarding position saving people's lives. Or, you could skip all that and just put in a few hours after dinner. Trauma Center puts you in the position of having to make life or death choices at the operating table. Heart surgery and tumor removal might look easy from the morphine end, but how do you think the doctor feels? Well, you're going to find out! In Trauma Center, patients' lives are in your hands. You'll experience all the drama we've come to expect from the medical field. So go ahead, toss on some scrubs and step into the O.R.--it's time to play doctor. Gameplay
Trauma Center: Second Opinion, is a robust "Wii-make" of the game "Under the Knife," and features a totally revamped medical toolkit that includes scalpels, forceps, defibrillator paddles, syringes, and more--all designed specifically for use with the Wii Remote. Other game features include new graphics and animation, new and remixed musical themes, new surgical implements (including a defibrillator), and operation types, a second playable character with all-new missions, multiple difficulty modes for gamers of all skill levels, and a revised control system that takes full advantage of the revolutionary Wii Remote.
Product Description
The follow-up to Trauma Center - Under the Knife, this is the first surgical video game for the Nintendo Wii. Sure, we've all imagined what it would be like to become a doctor. Years of medical school, residency, and clinic duty eventually pay off in a rewarding position saving people's lives. Or, you could skip all that and just put in a few hours after dinner.
The critically acclaimed medical drama simulation is making a house call on your Wii! Dr. Derek Stiles is back, but he's not the only surgeon on call?a new player joins the team, bringing along everything the doctor ordered: difficulty modes, new surgical implements like the defibrillator, and an exciting never-before-seen conclusion. So what are you waiting for? If one dose of Trauma Center wasn't enough, it's time you got a Second Opinion!

 boring unless you like to read April 22, 2008

More reading then anything, game was accurate. If you need to cut or stitch didnt matter how straight it was. Got prefects when I hurried or went slow, no difference. Not recommended
 Loads of fun, but there's a steep difficulty curve. March 30, 2008
I love this game partly because its something new. I've never even heard of a surgery game before, unless you count the DS version of Trauma Center which I here is also good. Technically speaking this game is nothing special because there is barely any use of computer effects, most of the game is drawn up in the style of anime. I find it to be a refreshing change of pace, but for the surgeries where they use computer effects the graphics are passable and do their job just fine. The storyline is pretty wacky and some won't be able to handle that, but I think its perfectly excusable considering some of the other stories I've experienced. This game is genuinely fun, but as I mention in the overview, it can get insanely difficult. If you're willing to deal with this, I think you'll have a ton of fun with this.

Recommendation: Rent
Trauma Center: Second Opinion puts the tools of a surgeon into your hands via the wii-mote and nunchuck.
The controls translate fairly well in this game. The Wii-mote is used as your tool, while the nunchuck analog stick lets you select from your arsenal of equipment. You'll need a steady hand to be really good at this game. I found it hard to get anything above a C rating, even on easy. I'm not sure the criteria for getting a better grade, but it didn't effect the fun of the game at all.
The game missions are timed at five minutes each, so the pressure is on to finish your job quickly.
The story cut scenes aren't really animated, but frames in a japanese style. While I didn't mind it, it didn't really grab my interest. I think I would have preferred an actual animated style of story. It has a sort of branching storyline. It's easy to replay missions and toggle difficulty levels without having to leave the storyline screen.
This was a decent game with unique controls well suited for the Wii console.

This game is very fun, until about when you get 8% of the way done, you have to draw a star on the patients chest to slow down time and they say its a magical tuch. It is so retarded I just stoped playing, it is hard to draw the star, and by the time you do you are almost out of time.
It would be a great game but they had to screw it up and waste my money.
 TOO MUCH READING/ACONTROL DIFFICULT January 14, 2008

My husband is a physican so I thought he would like this game. There is just too much talking and reading! When you finally get to surgery, the controls are too sensitive especially when it comes to handling the forceps. At one point, when we finally figured out how to handle the controls, time was up and the surgery failed. I think with a little redesign, this game would be fun.
