Grey's Anatomy: The Video Game

Windows - 2009

How to Play

The game has been tested on Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10, it works fine. You may experience some small troubles when you play the game on modern systems, check Notes for details

Notes:

  • To install the game, you will need the utility for mounting disc image files, like WinCDEmu, UltraISO, Alcohol 52%/Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools Lite
  • The game has localizations on English, French, German, Italian & Spanish languages, you can select the language during installation
  • If the installation doesn't start - try to launch Setup.exe in compatibility mode with old version of Windows (98, 2000 or XP)
  • It is recommended to install all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for the correct work of the game. Also it is recommended to install K-Lite Codec Pack for the correct work of in-game videos
  • The game works on DirectX 9, so if you're using Windows 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 - you need to enable DirectPlay: Go to Control Panel, and select 'Programs'. Select 'Turn Windows features on and off', click on 'Legacy Components' and check the box 'DirectPlay'. Select OK, once the installation is done, restart your computer
  • The game is DRM-Free and has no protection, just install & play. If the game doesn't launch - try to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP or Vista: right click on desktop shortcut or exe-file - Properties - Compatibility - Set "Run this app in compatibility mode with Windows XP (or Vista)" and "Run as administrator"
  • The only available resolution of the game is 800x600. You can run the game in Windowed mode, to do that add -windowed parameter at the end of desktop shortcut: right click on desktop shortcut - Properties - add -windowed at the end of "Target" line (should look like "C:/Games/Grey's Anatomy" -windowed)
  • You may have graphical glitches or other troubles on some old graphics cards, like GeForce 3, 4, 5200 and Radeon 9600, X1300, X1950. Also, the game doesn't have support for integrated graphics, so it may work uncorrect with such cards. If you have integrated and dedicated graphics chips in your system - better disable integrated video for the game in settings of control panel

Okay, so the main gameplay of this consists of a) simplified surgical procedures (and procedures I'm not 100% is the doctors' job but I digress) and b) high concept abstract minigames that are about managing the cast's emotions and doing often dodgy relationship gambits. These are given as much, if not more weight than any actual medicine, though I'm informed this is actually true to the show. I haven't watched any of it, so I wouldn't know.

The minigames take a ridiculously short amount of time and are interspersed by show-style cutscenes very frequently, often making you kind of wonder why it was necessary to do a minigame, but also there wouldn't be any game without them. The game's way of avoiding being a straight visual novel is by turning it into the world's silliest WarioWare game. They are fairly easy and you can only mess up if you mess up really badly or on purpose five times in a row, albeit they get slightly more complicated over time. One complicating factor is that the game stops showing you tutorials even when it keeps introducing new minigames, so sometimes I've lost a section because of confusion.

The story is, again, split between mostly the doctors' love lives and actual genuine hospital emergencies, but I get the sense that the choices you make in some of the minigames don't actually matter. The game even tells you "there's no wrong answer". The voice acting is okay, but the faces are a smidge too low-poly for me to be able to tell all the doctors apart. The music is unobtrusive but repetitive, but the game keeps repeating the same triumphant and light-hearted sound effects even when you complete tasks in tense situations with tense music, which is rather jarring.

And yet, despite all that, the fact that the minigames are just so short and in such rapid succession kept me thinking "just one more scene" and I think I played one third of it in one sitting. Oh, it's also longer than I expected.

In all earnest, I don't know if I can call this a good game, and yet here I am writing so much about it. The Desperate Housewives game had more substance, tbh. Yes, I've also played that, don't ask.
