I've heard a lot of the screens are getting removed for the European release though because they're to controversial... >_>
I'll probably import it though ^^

I hope this one is a little more realistic.

Just the European release? If it's too controversial for Europe, it's going to be even more controversial in America.

I think this one is more realistic. GUILT did get old, I liked the normal ops before GUILT was introduced.

They'll probably just up the rating. But even if they do leave some stuff out, who cares as long as it doesn't affect the story or gameplay too much?

I got it. It rawks thus far. It really does feel like Trauma Center meets Phoenix Wright - the 'investigation' portions are basically the same as PW except you can only examine at certain points.
The storyline's pretty 'dramatic' as well, usually when it gets to the end of an episode.
Every now and then in the chapter you have a 'Heart Battle' which is basically a Psyche-Lock you can lose. Sometimes there's more than one, and I think they affect the ending.
Spoiler: Chapter 1
Spoiler: Chapter 2
So to conclude, somewhat overdramatic but still loads of fun. Operations are a lot more picky and linear than TC, but they're still fun.

It's pretty easy to point out who's the Phoenix, Mia, and Maya counterparts in the game :P
I'm actually surprised the japanese names were left in after the localization with TC. I've only beaten the first surgery and I hope the game doesn't drive me "stab your DS with the stylus" mad like TC did several times. Oh yeah, you get to have your Dr. Hotti moments in the game.

But, from reading all the positive reviews about it I may have to check it out. Is it as insanely hard as Trauma Center (I didn't bother to continue past the first training mission, btw)?

The operations aren't very hard, though.

Capcom should sue.
(although, if they havn't done it when it was in Japan, I don't think they'll do it.)

The characters are bland, the writing sucks, the art is ugly, the evidenI MEAN MEDICAL RECORDS are fairly useless, and presentation ala PW to move the crummy story along is tiresome. The music stinks, and the game spends alot of time going no where.
The medical examinations are very linear dull, and any information you get is fairly useless when it comes to the actual surgery. Then, when the surgery comes along, I felt like I was being held by the hand. It also didn't help that the controls were fairly unresponsive to what I wanted to do, and there was sometimes no clear sign as to what tool does what, so you end up guessing. There's no tension involved, and it just wasn't engaging. Trauma Center nailed the idea of tension an having someone's life in your hands, but Lifesigns failed in that respect.
I'm going to delete this game soon, because I feel like it made a terrible first impression, with nearly an hour of slogging before I got to the surgery, and it's not going to get much better. Mostly because the characters are so bad and not worth progressing through.
tl;dr - Lifesigns is like PW and TC, if both games were put into a casserole, stripped of all the elements that made the games good on their own merits and covered in a sauce of crap.

I wish they had the examine mode for the rooms even though it would be more of a rip off of Phoenix Wright it could add some humor and depth to game. Like if you examine the bed in the night shift room you would get the internal monologue of Tendo something like
(This is a room for the Night Shift I pretty much live here the nurse is thinking of charging me rent!
)This game requires you to be more precise in your work as there is no Healing Touch or antibiotic gel to help you out if your vitals get too low imagine trying to do an operation with those requirements in Trauma Center! Well maybe there is a challenge like that posted at game winners in a faq somewhere.

Episode 4 seems to take place at the same place/time as episode 3 (Tendo's island vacation.)

That was amusing for the first 3 seconds. But I'd rather find a flash game where I can do that instantly.
Also, on their website, you can make MANGA COMICS (not kidding, that's what they call them). I made a few.
I made these 2 in the morning. To express how I hate this game.

Maybe they were afraid that Tendo would be too much of a rookie in the eyes of players who completed Trauma Center with Derek Stiles before it.
I disagree with the hand holding part though, some parts of the operation in part one took several tries until I figured out what to do especially in the last part of the operation with the second patient you worked on.
I want to play the first game in this series but I have a sinking feeling that we will never see it's release medical games must have a very small fan base.

Man! Friggin' resuscitation!
EDIT: I finished the game last night. Not perfect by any means but still good, I think.
Also, animations.

Ripped off Phoenix Wright? Well, yea there are elements to it that rip it off, but it has its own accord to it. You guys seriously, and I do mean it cuz most people have been bashing this game cuz it "Copies" PW, need to open your horizons up more and give the damn game a chance. [sigh]
Well, I think once my review is up, you guys can appreciate it a bit more -sigh-

Hey, I like the game, it's just a little... flawed.
My biggest beef is with the characters, I think. They don't really give you a chance to flush anyone out because any dialogue not related to the story is only about a sentence long.
