Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Operation has been around since 1965. I was born soon after, which means I remember the game as popular many years after it's debut. Toys and games are certainly not the same, and the quality is far from anything we remember. It is sad to see what kids get to play with these days. But, this version is not for kids, as the TV show is not for kids.
I am avid Family Guy fan from the beginning, even before it was canceled. I don't collect a lot of Family Guy things, but have all the DVDs etc. But I thought Peter as the patient of Operation seemed very funny, and the fact that it was more than a "bzzzzt". Sure his red nose lights up if you touch the sides, just like the original, but you are treated to a new phrase or sound effect in Peter's voice. Whether he screams or farts, my favorite response is the classic ongoing "sssssssss ahhhhhhhh sssssssss ahhhhhhh sssssss ahhhhhh" which is typically what he says when he randomly falls and hurts his knee, and continues to say it for a few beats too long. A routine on the show that always has me in stitches.
The game quality itself is questionable. It's flimsy blue plastic, warped metal and a cardboard layer. The instrument either fits loosely on it's holder, or gets stuck to the point of the plastic piece holding it breaking someday soon. Then there are the really poorly made pieces you are to remove from the body. The money and cards are fine. There is no holder for the loose items, so I have stored them in a zip-lock bag since nothing it provided. Taking two AA batteries (not included) in the back with a screw on cover features no on off switch, it's just always on. The original has a switch, and a drawer for the pieces.
So, this is a novelty item. A game made by Usaopoly, not Milton Bradley, and it shows. You are paying for the fun of having a licensed Family Guy product in a familiar but altered format. It seems like I have cut this down quite a bit, but your expectations will be exceeded if you expect the worst. A fan of Family Guy, like myself, would be thrilled to get this as a gift, and a perfect gift it is. I almost missed it's existence, so, you are likely to surprise the fellow fan with it. Plus, even if they have it, they will most likely need a backup if they intend to actually use it.
