GameSpot writes: "Our favorite game in the collection was Operation, which uses the Wii Remote as the forceps from the rather gruesome kids' game from the 1960s. After locating the item you need to extract from the patient (such as a frog in his throat), you travel into the patient's body, then grasp the object (by pressing the A and B buttons simultaneously) then carefully guide the object upwards and out of the body, making sure to twist the object to fit through angled gates which were shaped like the object you were extracting. Failure to correctly extract an object would cause the patient to "buzz", which is just as nerve-wracking in digital form as it was back in the day with the real thing".
Gaming Nexus writes: "But instead of going on and on about the great fun most Hasbro games are, this review will probably read like an "airing of grievances" from Seinfeld, because I have a lot of issues with this game. This is one of those games that you think should be good, but trust me, it isn't.
The biggest problem is the game selection. They took mostly games that use physical actions to play, beyond the rolling of dice or moving of pieces around a board. The problem is that these games just don't cross over into the digital realm very well."

In the transition to the video game format, many of these games have changed drastically, and barely resemble the board games on which they are based."
Nintendo Now writes:
"I remember back in the day, playing classic board games like Jenga and Connect 4. The best things of those games were that they were fun and great reasons to get the family together. Now EA has transformed these classics, and others, into a more digital form with their Family Game Night titles. The first Family Game Night was quite successful so a sequel has been released in hopes of receiving the same reception."
