Fun But Impossible!
This game is fun for the first 10 challenges. Then, it is pretty much impossible. I have had this game for two years, and I am still stuck on the level where you have to rescue 5 patients in 10 minutes. It is impossible! I hope that if they re-make the game that they make it simpler.

You can't be serious...
When I first got this game, I was really excited about the concept of an operating game and the first few surgeries were great... until we get to the freaking virus... @_@ To be honest, I was counting on the game getting harder with terminology and technicality, not by trying to mutilate and poke increasingly faster moving bugs.

Too much talking! There are times when I caught myself just gunning past all the mundane dialogue just to get to the surgeries. I am NOT a big fan of text heavy games, unless the conversations are interesting or at least animated! I realize that polite society causes us all to do the "Hello, how's the weather?" thing, but do surgeons really spend so much time playing nurse?! And since this is clearly fantasy, that's all the more annoying! I'm thinking that all in-game dialogue EVER should be able to be sped up or skipped altogether. Sometimes, people just want to get to the action!

My last complaint is the sometimes asinine sensitivity of a task. When you're working on a screen this small, there has to be some allowance for minute error. I mean, even my usually careful handwriting looks like crap on a slick surface... but the technology will only improve with time. Okay, my randomly affectionate cat doesn't help matters...

Overall, the series has some potential but I'd much rather have a more realistic game that actually teaches usable medical terminology and lets you combine brain power with surgical technique. I imagine I would REALLY suck at the Wii version-- I can't imagine trying to follow lines I'm not touching with a stylus.

Overall, this game was a disappointment. I swore like a sailor and it wasn't even worth it! Although, I still like to poke at the first few surgeries from time to time. coughhinthintcough

This Game is great!
It was a great game. One iaaue is that the difficulty is random. One level is pretty easy abd the next becomes hard.

Hand cramping, stressful frenzy of a game, not that there's anything wrong with that.
I've played probably 20 different Nintendo DS games to the finish and I have to say this is the most frustrating game I've ever played. I love the early missions and the creativity is awesome, but the controls are kinda blah. Several times you'll find yourself redrawing the zoom, over & over & over as your patient (& patience) dies. Redrawing stitches over & over gets tedious fast. The game has good intentions, but unlike most games that I just couldn't put down, this one I have to put down to release tension both in my hands and in my mind. I am looking forward to seeing the improvements in the upcoming release.
