Trauma Center for the WII or DS

[Olivia T]

Which system should I get trauma center for? I played the demo for the WII and it was fun but I heard that the DS was better because you have to be more precise. Does anyone know which is more fun?

The Wii one is a blast, cant give you an honest opinion on the DS one however since ive never played it.

on the WII, is it real precise? Because when I played the demo, it seemed like you could pretty much be totally sloppy at everything and it wouldn't matter

 

[Kunmui]

yeah you dont have to be precise

i have both versions and i would completely recommend the wii version. the most important thing is that you can control all the tools with the nunchuck, while not having to disrupt your wiimote usage. with the DS, you have to stop what you are doing and click on the tools on the side of the screen, which takes up a lot of precious time and screen real estate. as for being precise, the ds is 'quicker' to use because you simply press where you need to on the screen, but i have never had any issues with the wii remote in terms of missing things or screwing up because of the remote. the pointer is incredibly responsive, too. there is no noticible lag to be found, unlike the pointer in zelda where there is a slight delay.

at the end of the day, i would say the wii version IS superior, but it all comes down to if you want to play sitting on your couch in the living room, or if you want to play on the go in a mobile environment

thanks guys. I'll probably just get the WII version instead

the only thing though when i was playing the demo, when i went to do the stitching, it seemed like i could basically just stitch all over, as long as i covered the wound it was okay, even if i was stitching off the guys body, like crazy zig zags. but some guys told me that on the ds you can't do that.

i have both and i actually like the DS version more. it takes more skill, although it's harder. i also like the art a lot more. i dunno why they changed it. the wii version is very forgiving due to the nature of the wiimote. a stylus feels more like surgery than the remote.

also, i like how you choose the tools with the nunchuk in the wii version because it's faster but i'm still getting used to it.

 

[Zarkuna]

one more thing.

i like the ds music more too. it's more intense and dramatic.

just played trauma center for the first time tonight. shit was pretty fun, I might have to pick it up. its only 1 player?

I could be mistaken, but being sloppy might effect your final score for the round. Not too sure though.
