This game is cool, but it is more like an actual medical class than a game. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge but there is way too much reading. If I wanted to read that much I'd grab a book. But once you do read and are able to help your patients it is rewarding. I can really imagine how a doctor would feel after making someone feel better.

Disaster strikes was OK I guess... I just didn't like the fact that it's almost entirely trauma injuries. Therefore, there are very few illnesses, overdoses, etc. It's mostly just blunt trauma. It gets kind of old after awhile. I'd recommend Code Red or ER3 more.

This is real cool, you have to treat loads of realistic and gory things, it's fun, you can get promotions to, from medical student, to chief o staff. You can even get help by clicking somein', you patients talk at you, they can also die. Then the Chief of Staff, Dr. Ed Snyder (?) will review your profromense, and if you killed the patient he'll insult you or say somein' stupid like "Doctor, this is a Hospital, not the Morgue!"

Ha! This game is so much fun! The paitents are very fun to work on and they talk! You can choose from over 100 different cases and all of them are different. The paitents wounds look realistic. You must read and learn about different treatment processes to correctly treat you paitent. Not only is this game educational but its tons of fun! My mum is a nurse and she loves to play this game too.
Rating: - A definite must for an enthusiast
I had a blast with this one. I enjoyed being able to pick from three disaster scenes, seeing the "patients" themselves tell me their symptoms in video format and picking patients on sight rather than by chart. A few things did bother me-eg, most of these cases should have been treated on site instead of taken by ambulance to the hospital, and I'd have liked to have an option there, and some of the injuries or illnesses didn't relate to the scenarios (eg, an ear infection) which was a little off-putting. And like all of the Legacy Interactive ER games, there are a few bugs but nothing that can't be fixed with the patches on the site. Definitely a lot of fun.
