the answer is no. the game was designed from the ground up as an MP game. the AI is terrible, and the game gets tedious and boring without the excitement of playing other people.

that's the true answer, no matter what GP jumps in to tell you.

OTOH: why don't you like MP? It's a shame the game's distribution format is such that you are unable to test out MP with the community at large and get to see what it is really like.

maybe with DD now a reality, someone really ought to organize a set of demo MP games, or keep some slots for such games available.
