I never thought a game could get so intense using a stylus. [Oct 2005]

Even if needles make you squeamish or you feel faint at the sight of blood, Trauma Center is a cure for what has been a spell of mediocrity on the DS. [Nov 2005, p.131]

It's the fast-paced, procedure driven puzzling gameplay really sets Trauma Center apart. [Oct 2005, p.154]

Trauma Center can be a little challenging for the faint of heart, but once you can get past some issues, Trauma Center takes full advantage of the stylus and touchscreen masterfully. I got the game at a very cheap price, and I was blown away by it. My only gripes are that there is a story, but it feels very tacked on.

One of the best games on the NDS. Great story, great gameplay and very good graphics considering the hardware.

Here is a game that is both more exciting and more educational than Casualty, ER and Scrubs put together.

You'll likely never see a better utilization of the DS' touch-screen, nor will you play a pseudo-sim this engaging.

While it can get repetitive at times, Trauma Center is an incredibly fun and unique game experience that offers some of the fastest paced stylus action out there.

A drama-heavy storyline adds to the already deeply tense, ER-style atmosphere, making this a must-have DS title. [Christmas 2005, p.117]

A wonderfully unique game that does an excellent job of sucking the player in through both the tense operations and intricate story segments.

An unusual, creative, and very polished game that anyone with a Nintendo DS should seriously consider purchasing. The gameplay is addictive, even if it's restrictive.

If you find yourself in a charitable frame of mind, and can overlook the ridiculous story, one-dimensional characters, and hackneyed story elements, Trauma Center is a great twitch-action game.

This game is a diamond among not only NDS but all the devices with a touch-pad. Dynamical mechanics combined with an interesting story would grant a lot of unique and exciting experience to most of the gamers.
