Here’s my diagnosis: the actual surgery isn’t as good as Trauma Center, even though the process of identifying illnesses by rubbing girl’s bodies is quite smart and the artwork, overall, is much better. 

The main problem with Hospital Affairs is that there just isn’t enough gameplay here to satisfy – most of the time you’re busy busy chatting with hospital staff. True, the character’s are better realised than in Trauma Center, and there’s a charming soap opera, but there’s more tedious reading than actual gameplay.

Overall, the fact that Hospital Affairs is heavy on text and low on gameplay makes it less appealing than Trauma Center.
