A Gaming Diary
Trauma Center: Under The Knife
Oh no, no, no.
I can’t do this.
I’ve just been through the first two training missions and I can’t carry on. It’s too stressful. The music, the medical theme, they put me under too much pressure. I just got a ‘Bad’ rating for some suturing and now I’m feeling horribly guilty about the scar the guy’s going to have.
My mouth is dry and I’m only just beginning to calm down.
I never had this problem with Operation, of which this is a distant cousin.
Most stressful game ever. Even though it’s just a puzzle game in a medical skin, the stylus starts to feel like a scalpel and I don’t know how I’d feel if I failed and the patient died. Probably horrible for the two seconds it would take to reload and start over, at which point all the stress would probably leave and this would become just a normal game with normal levels of pressure.
God, the DS is great.
