    This game is frustrating, old and nearly pointless. Yet there are barriers to stop it from going completely of the rails and into being completely unplayable. This is fun but I don't recommend trying to complete at least one section of the game in one sitting. The phrase "practice makes perfect" could not define this game better. Everything will need to be practiced once to get a taste ofThis game is frustrating, old and nearly pointless. Yet there are barriers to stop it from going completely of the rails and into being completely unplayable. This is fun but I don't recommend trying to complete at least one section of the game in one sitting. The phrase "practice makes perfect" could not define this game better. Everything will need to be practiced once to get a taste of it and then move on for completion. You play as a famous surgeon who can't even write his own name properly, who must perform various transplants in different settings. From heart transplant in hospital, to kidney transplant in a corridor, to even an eye transplant in space. This will assure that you will never be bored and yet challenged. As I said before don't try this in one sitting. Pace yourself. Even play co-op so you can have two hands to control, it could be fun. Only recommended if your looking for something to kill time for a big hot triple A release.… Expand

    Controls are bad? The controls are the same on PC. It's what made the game. It's suppose to be hard to control, clumsy, and annoying. It's not perfect, but it is enjoyable for what it has to offer. I wouldn't pay more than $7.99 for it tho. So, have a couple of bewskys with a friend and try to save a life! LOL.

    Good for a solid few hours of laughter but once you decide beating the levels sounds like fun, you'll meet your demise. Part of the fun in Surgeon Simulator's gameplay is the clunky controls but on the PS4 they are absolutely awful. It makes the game unplayable when attempting to play seriously.

    Yep, they did it. They made this. Still frustrating, maybe even a bit more. You can still flip Bob the Bird. The Space Double Kidney Transplant is impossible without an extra controller. Yet, it is addicting

    This is the kind of game you either instantly fall in love with or stare at in amazement. Surgeon Simulator A&E is a great port of the original title and brings more good new features than bad.

    Equally frustrating and hilarious. [Nov 2014, p.89]

    It isn't a game for everyone, especially those who demand tight controls and realistic simulation titles or Trauma Center, but if you can deal with the silliness of it all, you'll find Surgeon Simulator to be enjoyable enough.
