Advantages: Good graphics, control and storyline. 3 levels of difficulty.
Disadvantages: Bit too much talking
--Background--
In this game you play a doctor called Derek Stiles. You don't necessarily have to have played the first game to play this second installment. It helps because then you have an idea of what to do already and know the storyline but the instructions are suitable for someone who has never played.
The point of the game is to operate on patients, using the stylus. You can use tools such as a scalpul, ultrasound machine, laser, antibiotic gel and others. You get shown what to do in the first couple of operations and then you get more freedom to do it yourself. You then get a grade for each operation.
--Opinions--
The graphics seem better on this game than the first one, and when you touch something it actually goes where you want it to. The control is very good.
There is also 3 levels of difficulty that you can choose from to make it more suitable for more people.
The only disadvantage I think is that there is quite a lot of talking between operation which can get a bit boring. But I like it because you get more into the storyline.
I will warn you this game is very addictive and once I started playing I couldn't put it down.
--Recommendations--
Now that the games has different levels of difficulty I think it is more suited more children too. I would say children over 10 would be able to play this and get the hang of it fairly easy on the lowest level. It is also suitable for more hardcore gamers as they can play the higher difficulty level and have more challenge.
--Tips--
- Use the injection to higher their stats regularly, this will mean if you make a mistake they won't drop straight away.
- Always remember to use the anticeptic cream before cutting the person open and before putting on the bandage. I always forget!
Summary: Very good game. Lots of fun. Very addictive!
