Colin McRae: Dirt 2vsMoto Racer 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Colin McRae: Dirt 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A rally racer where mastering precise car control against tricky terrain is everything.
Moto Racer 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
An arcade bike racer testing cornering execution across memorised circuits.
Colin McRae: Dirt 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Moto Racer 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Track memorisation and bike choice settle close races
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.
