Alright now everyone knows every kid is different right? The people at common sense don't think every child develops the same right? No? Good. Alright first off: I was a younger kid when I started watching the tutorials online for this game. I was intrigued having wanted to be a doctor when I was little. It was interesting, it was fresh and being a budding anime otaku at the time it was like a medical anime! (For medical anime's that ain't perverted try Black Jack BTW.) The game has blood yes but it's the human body, we have blood through out our body. It's everywhere. The messages are positive, pre-teens (note: If your kid is mature for his/her age like eight or something then go ahead and get this game but be there in the room and help them along. TC as the fans call it is intriguing for adults too.) Learn quite a bit about the medical world and you may want to get the DS versions for kids spending time in the hospital. It may distract them and frankly it's hilarious if they start calling blond nurses 'Angie'. The main characters Angie and Derek are great role models and good 'realistic' heroes. Now about this 'witchcraft': One: Christianity stole practices from the Pagans just so we're clear the pentagram you have to draw in the game is a healing symbol. The move is called The Healing Touch and slows down time so you can finish the level faster. Now for some real facts about this game as CommonSense failed to summerize it properly: It takes place in the near future. Nothing is gonna be 'exactly' how it is today. The 'drugs' mentioned are medications you have to use in game like anti-inflammitory for inflammations, antibiotics, a green medication called stabilizer which ups your patient's vitals and a green gel called ANTIBIOTIC GEL. You also use tools such as: The ultrasound, scalpel, syringe, sutures, laser, drain and the gel are all able to be selected by the wii nunchuck. Gameplay is amazing and it's not really bloody considering what's in kids media today mainly. (Lots more blood coming out of games targeted at 'kids' and that parents are buying for them.) But if your so insecure about it: Play it with them. Don't let the game system be your babysitter. There is some mild cursing but c'mon...Everyone swears just admit to it. All in all this game is fantastic plus you learn a bit too about medical procedures such as transplants, emergancy surgery, bones, and yes there are 'pathogens' not parasites called GUILT. I recommend it for twelve and up because I was eleven when I found out about it and I had to wait two years before one: I had a wii and two I was able to buy it.
