Grey's Anatomy: The Video Game is a game developed by Longtail Studios[1] and published by Ubisoft in collaboration with ABC Studios.[2] It was released on March 4, 2009 for Nintendo DS, Wii, and Windows.[3][4] The game is set during the fourth season of the medical drama Grey's Anatomy in an original storyline in which the doctors have to deal with a diphtheria outbreak.[5] The game takes the form of a visual novel interspersed with minigames.

Gameplay

The game is split into five episodes, each themselves split into smaller acts and scenes. The player switches character each scene and plays a different minigame, which are either a medical procedure (such as a surgery or changing dressing) or based on controlling emotions, such as "flicking away doubts" or controlling breathing with a rhythm game.[1]

Plot

The game's main plot revolves around an outbreak of diphtheria at Seattle Grace hospital, forcing the characters to remain in quarantine in the hospital.[5] Each of the main characters also have their own subplots, with Derek and Meredith's mostly focusing on their relationship, Cristina's attempting to secure a fellowship and having a new love interest created specifically for the game in Dr. Vince Bennet, and Bailey worrying about her new son.[1]
