Multiplayer is hailed so well because you can have a lot more people that are real than you could ever hope to fit on a single television screen. Games like Resistance 2 couldn't pull off 60 person multiplayer if it didn't have online play.
But I agree that a game that has bad multiplayer or no multiplayer at all shouldn't be docked for it. But I guess people think that if a game can be bumped up for multiplayer why can't it be bumped down?
