Building comparison
head to head
Assassin's Creed IIvsSpider-Man 3
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Assassin's Creed II
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Ezio's Renaissance revenge tale of parkour, assassination, and villa-building across Italy.
Spider-Man 3
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Light web-swinging execution over a scripted open-world checklist.
Assassin's Creed II leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery); Spider-Man 3 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).

Spider-Man 3
Swing control and combo timing carry the combat
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Assassin's Creed II
Guards follow scripts
Spider-Man 3
Enemies follow fixed scripts, nothing models you
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Assassin's Creed II
Fixed world and missions
Spider-Man 3
Open-world missions are static once discovered
Optimization5 vs 4
Assassin's Creed II leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Assassin's Creed II
Villa economy and route planning, lightly
Spider-Man 3
Upgrade paths and mission objectives are shallowly solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
