Review on πŸ”„ Revamped Hasbro B2176 Classic Operation Game: Rediscover the Thrill! by Petr Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is absolutely not suitable for training corpses.

Bought this for my son who wants to be a doctor one day. I figured he could practice on this body before working on the real one. He spent hours pulling out the small parts without touching the side panels. I was a little disappointed that the "tug" from his extraction tool touching the sides wasn't a pop at all, but a gentle vibration suitable for a 2-year-old. They could make it more effective if they made the vibration strong enough for a 4 year old as the parts are so small that children under 3 shouldn't practice with them. Anyway, I digress. My son was able to extract all the objects from this training corpse after several days of practice. It took him a while to recover and at times he got frustrated. Luckily, this training machine is solidly built and can withstand his abusive punches when he fails. His frustration is that the amount of money he makes for retrieving each item is significant. Each retrieval has an earnings number printed on the card if it can be successfully retrieved (e.g. a pulled muscle is worth $200). We calculated that he can pull anything in 30 minutes and make $5200! That's a whopping $10,400 an hour or $21,632,000 a year! So he was able to do anything and I thought, 'He's ready! All he has to do is go to the Ivy League Medical Board, show them his skills, and he'll be accepted into their medical program on his way to making millions! The university medical board we went to was less than impressed and taunted us from their building. It was devastating. I told my son that for a five-year-old, his ambitions might be a little too high and maybe kindergarten could find his talents more useful. Experience in the medical field.

Pros
  • Requires 2 x 1.5V "AA" alkaline batteries (demo batteries included)
Cons
