Ubisoft releasing a Grey's Anatomy game ... *FacePalm*

December 17, 2008 in News comments 23

Ah, Ubisoft. With every great game you release, you spew out 10 more terrible ones. Their most recent offering is a game based off the popular medical soap-opera Grey's Anatomy. While it isn't clear what exactly the point of the game is, it apparently boasts an interesting online mode. But just how successful would a Grey's Anatomy game be?

If Ubisoft want to make a video-game based off a hospital show, I suspect a House game would have been a better and more popular choice. Heck, I'd buy it just for the voice-acting and potential assholery. It doesn't even need to be about anything. Just have House roam the hospital insulting random people, avoiding patients and stealing Wilson's lunches.

Ubisoft may have canceled their plans to release a game based on the NBC show Heroes but it appears that the publisher is going ahead with plans on releasing a new game title based on the hit ABC medical soap opera Grey's Anatomy. A new listing for the game has been placed on the Gamestop web site along with a box cover image.

    I'm surprised that the show is popular, I doubt this game will do any well. Games based on real life simulation programs fail, like the CSI games. Might as well just go buy the series if you're going to waste your money on the game. =(

    Now THAT's a game I would buy on release.

      Amen, a game which revoles around literally nothing more than being a asshole. It's not like most people watch the shows for the medical aspect of it anyway, its all about the characters.

        I hate medical stuff, it makes me sick, but I love House.

        Grey's Anatomy on the other hand, also isn't really about medical stuff, but it's just another show about sex that gets high ratings because it's about sex.

          The sad thing is I didn't even see any good looking people on that show. -__-

          ER would work just as well, like put you right in the middle of the rush to save patients.

          I think the board game "Operation" is about as far as medical games can go, to be honest.

          Well, there's Trauma Center, a surgeon game.

          Well I didn't make it. From the look of it on Neoseeker it's hardly popular, as predicted.

          Neoseeker isn't the best way to determine that, though. Quite a few popular games don't get attention on there. They've actually done quite well, with a Wii and DS game, I think they even have sequels out or on the way.

          *Edit*
          You got it. *ahem* Yes your prediction was correct. xD Anyway, I'd rather play Trauma Center than Grey's Anatomy.

    Hnnnnnnnngggggggghhhhhhh...

    Ubisoft need to be smacked. Hard.

    Can we just give it a 0/10 score now and forget about it?

    I can't speak for everyone who watches those shows, since I personally don't like Scrubs or Grey's Anatomy, but me and my sister watch House for the comedic scenes and the medical stuff. Hell more so to my sister cause she's in school to be a nurse. Me on the other hand can learn alot of things from house, seeming how most of the stuff that get's put on there is factual.

    Not surprising you'd mention House Gothic Girl, after all you're sporting an avatar of Wilson. lol
    I don't even think that game would be good and this is coming from a big house fan.

      Are you telling me a game based solely on being an asshole could possible be bad?

      Acctualy, yeah you might be right...

      But only if freakin' Ubisoft does it.

        Has nothing to do with being an asshole, I just genuinely believe it wouldn't turn out great.

        I would totally play a House Visual Novel where you spend the whole time being an asshole and making sexual references at all the female doctors until you finally score.

        lol, I just love how Wilson tries to get house to be nicer yet it fails. And him taking Wilson's food. I would be mad. I just like the whole cast tbh. Cuddy is awesome too, although I'd just wish both House and Cuddy stop bsing and get dating already.

    Not thrilled...I was a fan of the first and second seasons before the series jumped the shark by adding like, 700 new faces.

    Like most licensed games, it'll fade into obscurity almost as soon as it hits the shelves.

      Don't waste money on this game, buy the first season if you are such a fan.
