Mario Party 10

I loved Mario Party 8. I did not even like Mario Party 10 in the slighest. We got around 2 hours of gameplay out of it. There is no more 'freeplay' where you can select the number of turns you want and instead get to choose from only 4 or 5 maps that are essentially 30 minutes each. They kept with the mechanic from 9 where you all ride along together. It is just not immersive, challenging, or fun (at least to me) anymore. It seems as though the game has been completely dumbed down and geared towards children explicitly (not that children are dumb...). In 8 you could choose to have shorter, easier games or longer, harder games...not a thing in 10. I've wasted money on bad games before...but this $60 hurt me. :(
