Title: Shame on Milton Bradley
Product review: I have a hard enough time shielding my children from all of the violence and gore on television, the last thing my family needs is a game promoting it."Operation" is a game that features a man with his internal organs exposed. The children that play this game are encouraged to remove said organs "with a steady hand", or risk being electrocuted.Pavlov is rolling in his grave.Granted, the shock the child receives is minor -- it's actually more of a sustained vibration (comparable to a personal massager), but this is not the type of reinforcement my children need.I prefer to encourage my children -- not terrify them with buzzers and shocks when they do something wrong.And for a game that's been around as long as "Operation", don't you think it's about time that Sam the Patient found a new doctor to fix what ails him?If you're looking for a game that promotes wholesome goodness and a steady hand, chatchi's family recommends "Don't Break the Ice" or "Cootie".
