Video Games: Single player vs. Multiplayer

I want to compare how a single player experience in video games is different to a multiplayer game experience. In a single player game the focus tends to be more on a good story line and good visuals and nice looking cut scenes. In a multiplayer game the focus is more on the game play and how the different players can interact with each other. Single player is more ascetics based and multiplayer is more functionality based. Of course both need good ascetics and good game play but this is a way to separate them.  I want to compare these types of games to artistic minded people and computational minded people. Single player games need more artists to design the story and how to make the game convey certain feel through the visuals. Multiplayer games need more computational thinkers to design how you play the game and then how to implement it. So with regards to video games being art, one might say single player games are more likely to be art than multiplayer games. In my own experience player both of these types of games, I would say obviously this question depends on one’s definition of art. If you consider sports to be art then you might say multiplayer games are also art but if you say purely interacting with other people is not art then you might say single player games are the only type of video games that are art.
