    This game is fine and it's funny to watch friends/family play it. However it gets boring fast and the motion controllers are very hard to get used to.

    Picked this up hoping for a fun party game. Unfortunately, it's pretty much unplayable. The controls are terrible, I know that's the point of the game, but with the motion controls, it just doesn't work at all.

    It looks just like the vr game but definitely doesn't control like it. I'm on the switch and instead of making it that it controlls like the vr with the switch controller you can only twist your hand with motion controlls instead of moving up and down back and forward

    The controls are an absolute mess and it's a shame, as Surgeon Simulator CPR is a funny title that is great entertainment for team of friends. While the aim is to "save" patients, doing the opposite is what eventuates most of the time thanks to some unintentional, but humorous moments. With a better control scheme, more responsive controls, and less glitches, Surgeon Simulator CPR would be an easier title to recommend on the Switch. However, beyond the poor controls, there is some enjoyment to be found here for those who don't take these too seriously.

    Despite its name, Surgeon Simulator CPR is not a serious simulation at all - it's rather a fun and chaotic game full of humour where the players will perform hilarious surgeries that require a careful learning of the Nintendo Switch motion controls. While it's still possible to use conventional controls, the experience takes a different dimension when motion comes into play, even if Surgeon Simulator CPR plays much better on multiplayer than on single player.

    Surgeon Simulator CPR is a very silly game whether it’s the cartoony vibe it gives off, the wacky situations you’re thrown into or just trying to deal with the loose controls. It’s a mildly funny exercise and something to be enjoyed viewing how others interact with it, however in turns of longevity and depth you’ll find the pair lacking especially as the initial novelty starts to wear off.
