Actually saw a few copies of Trauma Center at my local Best Buy about a week ago or so. But I'm so broke...and I wanted to buy SOTC, which was 10 bucks cheaper.
I snagged a copy a few days ago... very fun, but I'm stuck. Level 2-4.
The first time you actually use the healing hand in surgery. You have to remove a bunch of polyps. You inject them first, cut around, remove, suck, suture. Problem is towards the end you get about 5 of them on screen at once and inevitably they burst. I do the healing hand but it doesn't seem to do a ****ing thing.

Do everything EXCEPT remove them. Inject and cut around all of them. So long as you do not remove them, they won't bleed OR grow. Then remove, suck, and suture when you've got them under control.

No problem. Actually, from a medical standpoint, it really makes no sense. Once you've made the incision around them, they SHOULD bleed like mad. But as far the game's concerned, they won't. So we win! ;p
I'm on the exact same part. I've come this | | close to beating it several times and failed. So frustrating. This game is hard like ten rounds of bare knuckle boxing with Chuck Norris.
I like it a lot though. Very few single player games can consistantly give me that nerve wracking, sweating hands experience that Trauma Center does.
Wish I knew how awesome it was. Saw 10 copies at Best Buy and some at Funcoland and Gamestop all in the same strip mall last Wednesday and didn't have the cash to buy it, come back on Friday and they are ALL GONE. **** all these e-bay reselling mother****ing gamehoarders.
the way i found how to make the magnification work all the time is when you draw the circle try and make sure that the two ends connect and not overlap when you close the circle.hope that helps. this game def' rulez!!!(as far as touch screen interaction goes)
I just spent the weekend re-rediscovering this AWESOME game!
I bought it ages back and had played the first couple of missions a few times over but I kept putting it aside to play after I finished Phoenix Wright, well I finished Phoenix's case 4 on friday so I figured I'd finally have a proper play of the doctor game before starting on case 5 and I'm just blown away!
I figured there'd just be lots of hospital stuff and I didnt realise
I'd be operating in aeroplanes and heading to Africa to head up disease centers and disabling bombs and puzzles and stuff so quickly!!
Great variety!!
Had a couple of brick-wall operations along the way like
the first healing touch one where theres things rupturing all over the place and also the first one with the thorns
but eventually getting past those only made the game more satisfying.
Anyway love the characters, love the fast plot progression, love the story art, I reckon this is about the best example ever of how to use the touch-screen in a DS game.
Now I can't decide between Trauma Center or Phoenix Wright which is my favourite DS game of all time.
I'm up to somewhere in chapter 5 atm btw, and the only criticism I have about the game so far is the inconsistency of the zoom tool. Sometimes it works when I've only drawn half the circle, sometimes I need to get a compass out to make the worlds most perfect circle to get it to action a zoom.
Seems like every time I start a new game and get really into it, someone else is at the exact same time and starts an appreciation thread right when I want there to be one.
I was just going to bump this thread. Got a copy today (Found one new) and just got past 2-1. This game rocks, its not Phoenix Wright awesome, but until JFA comes out, its easily the 2nd best game on DS.
Aww come on, they're such totally different games though, one is for when you need your reflexes challenged and one is for when you want your brain challenged. Trauma Center for balls-out satisfying gaming, Phoenix for chilling out instead of reading a book. I reckon they're both as awesome as each other.

It seems near-impossible at first, but with healing touch and/or Mejilins tip its quite easy to get past once you have the hang of it.
A lot of operations are like that, at first they seem stupidly overwhelming but eventually you find a strat that works and then you'll be able to cruise through the operation and it's soooo satisfying when you finally make it.
I was wondering how much harder the game can actually get, but it sounds like 10-7 is the real clincher from salvas post.

OK, 2-4. I know its been discussed, but I'm having problems on it. Apparently when I put the stylus down close to the top of the touch screen, it doesn't read that the stylus is touching it, and of course you NEED to in this game.
Also, I can't seem to get the hang of suturing the annurisims once I've got them together.
Back to the first thing, now I gotta wait until if/when I get a DS lite to play this any further?
Too much game. I would have prefered a more informative game with the player doing as a consultant and reciping usual problem of humans. ¡DR. DS please!
The Wii version could be a good game, but I'd hate to miss out on experiencing the awesome touch-screen DS original version.
I hit another brick-wall operation last night where I need to operate on 5 people in a row in 10 minutes, but I think I may just need to make it past 3 to succeed as my nurse was mentioning something about calling for backup. I was so close to finishing the 3rd op at one stage too but I got a bit panicky and selected my scalpel instead of my suture ...

Ouch, unlucky. This is an example of exactly why the game is so great. In nearly every operation your under constant tension, and it makes every operation so dramatic. The missions are definitely rock hard later on, but I wouldn't change it if I could.
I'm still unsure if I will pick up the Wii version. I guess if there is enough of a non-graphical update, then I'll pick it up.
My mom doesn't play games, but she loved watching me play it since she is a trained nurse.
However, we both said **** it and I returned the game when it flipped out and stopped being about diseases and started being about conspiracies from outer space or some shit. Why can't japanese devs stay serious?

How? HOW?! Not only can't I get to 4, but you say doing 5 is easy??
I work quickly, I can get inside the guy in 3 seconds, but then its drain suture scan scalpel laser suture gel drain suture scan scalpel laser suture gel x 100 and I spend most of my time trying to keep the guy stable and suture fresh cuts, I just cant do these ops in under 2 minutes.
Got any hot tips for me? Do you usually treat all the wounds first or try and laser the GUILT first?
