Imagine Family Doctor on Nintendo DS allows you to become a young female doctor who has just finished her education and is setting up a new private practice in town. Family Doctor comprises a series of mini-games in which you examine and diagnose each patient, taking the occasional trip to the local café or your apartment for a narrative detour. Instead of taking you along that path, Family Doctor immediately grants you the knowledge, power and certification you need to help people. Like a perfect doctor, you always draw the correct conclusions, and you always have a ready answer.
