Welcome to the quick start guide for House M.D. Critical Cases, a new game from Ubisoft. Play as the newest member of Dr. House's diagnostic team and help diagnose and treat the most difficult medical cases. This guide will help you familiarize yourself with the game world.
When you think about it, House's cold, blunt demeanor pairs up well with the stark, impersonal diagnoses that you tend to get from the Internet's medical websites ("Got a runny nose? Eh, it's probably cancer"). In fact, House MD - Critical Cases initially presents itself as a great showcase for House's snark and sarcasm as well as the show's medical mysteries. Unfortunately, the title's lackluster scattering of mini-games and constant strong-arming for microtransactions makes it a pretty fragmented hospital drama.
Dr. House isn't exactly new to videogames -- we've already seen House, M.D. on PC -- but with the upcoming House: Critical Cases the doctor is coming to Facebook, thanks to Ubisoft. Much like its downloadable counterpart, House: Critical Cases features a number of medical-themed mini-games to play through, as well as a familiar cast of characters for fans of the show. We still don't have a ton of details, but Ubi has provided a number of screenshots to show off what House and company will look like on the social network.
