Doctor, nurse and any other of medicine-oriented games exist in the world, and most of them take a very serious, almost austere approach to this profession (or calling depending on whom you ask) and only give you a glimpse of what its like to be one of the men and women responsible for keeping us healthy, more often than not focusing much more on their personal lives instead of what happens on the operating theatre.

Surgeon Simulator flips all of those previous ideas on their heads. You are a surgeon, but unlike those boastful proud God-complex doctors you see on TV or other surgery games, this one is silent. Hes not there to talk to you, doesnt have girl/boyfriend issues and for all you know his life is extremely simple. Hes there to do his jobwith varying degrees of success.

You never see beyond the operating table and tools at your disposal, theres no exploration, nothing to discover. You are a surgeon, and thats all youre going to be doingagain, with questionable levels of success.

Lastly, youll spend your entire time doing something doctors on other surgery games (and other entertainment media) never do while operating: laugh. The best thing Surgeon Simulator does is take the seriousness out of the equation. Hell, it throws it out the window. This is not a game for the precise removal and transplant of organs. No, this is a game where youll fumble about with uncooperative controls, causing you to tip tools over, cut where you shouldnt, crack more ribs than you have to, leave your watch, pen and even scalpel inside the patient and so much more. At the end, your patient will survivethough depending on your skill, he might be carrying some extra baggage and not the emotional kind, but the one thatll get him flagged in every airport for the rest of his life.

When I first heard of this game I have to admit I didnt really understand it and you probably wont either, because were all accustomed to the serious and respectful approach to medicine, watching surgeons perform miracles in front of our eyes and quite frequently very far from our control. But then, as I laughed watching people fumble about playing the game, it finally dawned on me that this was the whole point.

Surgeon Simulator isnt a game for you to accurately perform open-heart transplant, its for you to mess about with a human body. If you manage to succeed, good for you, but the point of the game isnt the end, its not accomplishing the objective, its the journey, the minutes and hours youll spend laughing while poking, prodding, cutting and ripping things in your patients body. The less you care about being precise, the more the game will make you laugh. Why would you precisely spread ribs when you can take a hammer and rip them apart?
