More fun/funnier

Playing the game is more fun/funnier than watching someone play the game.

(Just a side question: Is this sentence grammatically correct? Is watching someone play the correct way to say it?)

Anyway,back on the main question. Which is correct? More fun or funnier?

Fun is a one-syllable adjective, so you have to use funnier to change it into comparative. But you can use more fun, when fun is used as a noun. In your example, fun is used as a noun, so more fun should be used.
