Local always will be the best for anything, not just video games. Online is far more detatched and ultimately not as fun and exciting.
I feel like local multiplayer is sort of an improved single player experience. You're playing/competing with other people, yes, but ultimately you are spending time alone playing video games.
Which is sort of how I approach video game time anyways. I find myself playing campaigns more than multiplayer. I play multiplayer with actual friends.
Often times, my friends and me will all play a game together in person, while also playing with randoms online. And we can pass the headset and kid around. Best of both worlds I guess.
You can never beat the real deal. Unless the person hates actual social interaction, which is of course a driving trend in today's world/technology.
