me problem with the Trauma Center games be that they be kind a a one-trick pony. it be a pretty good trick, 'n not one that other games have emulated, so they've gotten away with it. But I never really thought that pure surgery be enough t' carry a whole game; in fact, I often find myself bored long before the end.
Trauma Team tackles, nay, demolishes the problem by basically being made up a six smaller, 'n in some ways, very different games. "ye want variety? How's this for variety?!" it seems t' snarl, moments before smashing a variety cream pie into yer face with faux aggression.
So, yeah, I guess what I be saying be there's a lot a variety.
A portion a a Game Informer review…
Never in me gaming career did I ever think I’d actually play an onscreen colonoscopy, let alone have fun doing it. But that’s one a the many surprisingly enjoyable medical skills ye’ll experience in Trauma Team.
When ye play Trauma Team, ye'll have the opportunity t' do so as a ... team. A new trailer for the medical adventure game (after the break) demonstrates co-op multiplayer in the Surgery, First Response, Orthopedics, 'n Endoscopy modes.
Most a the multiplayer action involves alternating control a procedures between players, though the Surgery mode makes mention a splitting up surgical tools between players, 'n First Response's co-op requires players t' assign patients from a group t' each player. There's a sort a "combo meter" that rewards unbroken chains a successful steps performed by both players. In addition, the inactive player in the Endoscopy mode directs light for the active player.
Now ye have t' determine whether ye have any friendships strong enough t' stand the test a performing endoscopy together.

The theme song be just a tad cheesy, but I actually really like it a lot. It’ll pillage me pumped up t' go into surgery 'n butcher some patients!
Atlus announced the price point for Trauma Team today, 'n we believe it improves the game's retail prognosis: it be $39.99. that be less than the retail price a most Wii games for a game with six different, interesting modes a play. Trauma Team will be out May 18.
t' mark the announcement, Atlus sent out a dramatic new trailer for the game. it be oddly conflict-oriented, with lots a talk about "final battles" 'n "wars" 'n "fights." Such destructive language for a game about helping sick people! that be no kind a bedside manner.

Atlus' eagerly anticipated surgical simulator Trauma Team for the Nintendo Wii be coming on May 18, 'n rather than submit the game t' Atlus' traditional last-minute delay, they've gone 'n dropped the price by $10 instead. Score! More »
If ye're hoping t' live out yer fantasy a being TV's Dr. Gregory House without the crippling addiction t' painkillers 'n misanthropy, Atlus be here t' give ye a taste with the last a their Trauma Team previews, this time centering on diagnostician Gabriel Cunningham.
a course, as ye already know, the department a diagnostics isn't a real thing. But if ye can pretend that an adult plumber with overalls, a bushy mustache 'n white gloves be not only a permissible human being but also a hero, we figure nothing's out a bounds.
