Trauma Center: Second Opinion Famitsu scans

Do you remember those gut-wrenching (quite literally, too) scenes in various “medical shows” like “ER” or “House”? The patient who accidentally got a shard of glass on his stomach turns out to be a hemophiliac, and the doctors only have an hour to save his life. Imagine the terror, the pressure, and sheer drama of it all. It’s one of those episodes that makes you want to be a doctor because it’s such a noble job.

And maybe that’s one of Trauma Center: Second Opinion‘s appeal to me. After all, I’m no surgeon aspirant or a sadist who ran out of avenues to project her pain-inflicting tendencies. But I’m settling for this one because of the fun factor, in a sort of whacked out sense:

1. Stepping in the way hectic shoes of a surgeon sure sounds fun. And the good thing about this is that you’re only “operating” on virtual anatomies, so there’s no risk involving another person’s life. Sort of like getting the whole package with no strings attached.
2. You get to fool around some guy’s intestines.
3. The “ER” drama.

Seriously though, this Atlus game shows some promise, so if you want to experience a “medical” version of an RPG, then you might want to give this game a try. And speaking of showing off, here are some Famitsu scans to give you an idea what this game is like.
