Building comparison
head to head
Colin McRae: DirtvsTetris Plus
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Colin McRae: Dirt
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Throttle and counter-steer precision on loose surfaces against the clock.
Tetris Plus
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Tetris with a puzzle mode - still a test of placement speed and stacking craft.
Colin McRae: Dirt leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Tetris Plus leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Colin McRae: DirtTetris Plus
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Colin McRae: Dirt
Car control on loose surfaces is the entire test
Tetris Plus
Piece placement speed under pressure decides everything
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Colin McRae: Dirt
Racing the clock or AI lines, nothing adapts
Tetris Plus
Versus mode adds only light opponent awareness
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Colin McRae: Dirt
Surface grip and damage add mild run noise
Tetris Plus
Random piece order is bounded and rapidly mappable
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Colin McRae: Dirt
Setup tuning and corner-line knowledge underpin pace
Tetris Plus
Puzzle-mode professor routes have known optimal solutions
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.
