I'm guessing you could throw Racing games in there too, Since those types of games (Fighting, Sports, Racing) seem to be targeted for both Single and Multi in mind.

Single Player for me. I dont mind multiplayer at times (mainly with friends) but with strangers it is normally a horrible experience. Sadly it feels like some game companies are focused more on Multiplayer the single player now days.

I'm much more of a multiplayer fan. most of the types of games i like are multiplayer, and most of the single player games i do play are high score based so i'm still effectively playing against other people on leaderboards to beat them. i've never liked long quest type games, it's never interested me much to sit down in front of the tv for hour after hour playing a game all to myself. there's only been one or two over the years i've really been ale to get into and they are football manager and the original tomb raider games. hardly anything else has interested me enough since.
Tic Tac, sir?

Indeed it has, but KFB is probably one of the least nerdy/geeky/socially inept members of thie forum so I'm not surprised by his response.

Single player for me.
Though I rarely get to play multiplayer with anyone so sort-of a biased view.
I've never played online, only split-screen.

I've never seen it in that way. That's one of things I like from a single player mode, the high-score and time attack system.

One old habit of mine from the arcades was to aim and get the high score. That satisfaction to be first at the leaderboard, at least in the same day, it felt good. I think I'm a little more competitive than I thought.

But those days are gone, and since I hardly go online, I only try to surpass my own scores/times.

That's why I don't buy them. :P <--- Also why I haven't bought Sonic and SEGA all stars racing yet.

Even if I do, it's because the single Player has SOME value such as unlocking new characters, features, levels or something else. E.g. Super Smash Bros or Tekken.

Unlocking characters through singleplayer in a fighter, or any mostly competitive game, is one of the worst design decisions ever though.

I know but it's the only thing that keeps me going. I don't see a point in games that have absolutely no reward or ANYTHING other then stupid achievements and the pure enjoyment of playing with someone. Sure it keeps you up for a while, but once you've played it a few times, you'll get bored of it.
