Overall l prefer the party to the single member, for variety. If I am fighting with one player and he is a magic user, let's say, there may be times I want to just break the ice by whacking things with brute force. Single player games dont allow for this. Party members also allow for more creativity in defeating monsters. But Gerry's point is well made. I prefer party games, but some of my all time favorites were single person games. -- "I realized, sitting there, that I was a nut."
