Atlus goes beyond Trauma Center for new Wii game 'Hospital'

**R.O.B.** · 27th May 2009

In this week's Famitsu, Atlus has revealed a "spiritual successor" to the Trauma Center series that expands the game's scope beyond surgery. Hospital, created by the same development team as the hit surgery games, stars six different medical practitioners, each with a different specialization. Only one of the six is a Trauma Center-style surgeon -- Prisoner CR-SO1, a convict whose sentence was reduced in exchange for his surgical expertise.

The rest of the group include a diagnostician, a paramedic, a cosmetic surgeon (who performs non-life-or-death procedures like hip replacements), an endoscopic surgeon, and a forensic examiner. Each character features a different style of play.

According to 1up's translation of the article, producer Daisuke Kanada told Famitsu that the game "completes one of the goals for a medical series that we've been striving for before, and it's also a wholly new title, not a sequel to Trauma Center. It's not just a surgery game, but an entire hospital in game form.

This could prove to be an interesting game. Will there be more character interaction now too or is it mainly gameplay changes?

A good thing, that series is evolving. I've beaten 2 Trauma Center games (the DS one and the New Blood on Wii) and always hoped it would expand beyond the surgery.

Disaster: Day of Crisis is a game where you have to rescue people from disasters and aid them, mixed with shooter/adventure-rpg, intense racing elements and cool reaction sequences. It has bits of Trauma Center gameplay and graphics similiar to Resident Evil 4. It's quite good. For €15 maybe the best bergain I found this year.

So it's kind of like Trama Centre but with different roles in the hospitel? Sounds like it could add a lot of depth to this game.

I still need to complete Trama Centre on DS mind.
