What do these ratings mean?

Why god? whyyyyyyyyyyy? The Mario Party franchise, rocks. Well, atleast it used to. Fresh ideas, a new look on board games. Exciting. Well ok not really, but it was still fun. A nice game to play between titles we really care about to come out. But this one is a stinker. I'd rather play destroy all humans, and thats just sad. Mini games that make you work, even, god forbid... think! I mean my grandma might enjoy this, but not me. There are about three variations of being on an island, and kicking everyone else of. Shake the wiimote until your pop can splooges on the ceiling. But really, whats the point? It took all of the mini games we originally liked (jackhammer outline thing) and put them in a blender and made a crapshake. I mean a russian roulet style of cutting ropes until your the last one standing... whats that about? and the real slap in the face, the kick in the nuts, the inult to injury. You can't play as Donkey Kong anymore??? Who cares about Daisy, or bBirdo. Who cars about Blooper??? Waluigi, how do you even say that? They took a good game, ruined it, took out the fun, took away characters, replacing them with crappy ones, and making crappy game boards at that. If we were playing dodge ball, im afraid to say Mario Party 8, would be the fat kid, with one leg. I give it a D.
