Trauma Center: New Blood

There will be blood... and some puss

Words: on November 20, 2007

The improved presentation is all well and good, and given our affection for Trauma Center, it could've received a passing grade by tossing us more of the same. But far and away, the best feature is New Blood's co-op mode. This has always been a game anyone can pick up and enjoy, and it's nothing short of revelatory to finally play simultaneously with another aspiring surgeon.



Above: Killing babies is discouraged

Co-op is played exactly like single player, but working with a partner greatly changes the dynamic of procedures. Poking someone with a scalpel in an area that's already being sliced can effect your patient's vitals, so vocal coordination mixed with specific collaboration aid immensely to the feel of being in a real operating room. "You spread the antibiotic gel, and I'll make the incision." or "Stitch up the lacerations, while I drain the puss and inject the anti-inflammatory." Or even simply; "I call tumors!" Our multiplayer sessions were laced with giddy interactions, both goofy and serious, equal parts House and Hfuhruhurr.

    Just got this today, hoping it would be easier than SE. I'm starting to read around the place that it's not easier AT ALL...
