Why do you guys act as if you would be forced to play online with strangers if it came with the feature? If you don't like online then don't play it but for the rest of us that have busy lives and friends that live a good distance away a multiplayer centric game pretty much requires online. You should be asking developers for more content not sitting back happy because features standard in games today are missing and your "personally" ok with that.
As for people saying platformers can't be done online, LBP and Splosion Man say hi. Anyone thats played splosion man can tell you the game requires immense co-ordination especially with 4 players yet the game can be played without the smallest hickup over xbl.
