Building comparison
head to head
Crash BandicootvsVirtua Cop 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Crash Bandicoot
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Precision 3D platformer of narrow corridors, crates, and unforgiving jumps.
Virtua Cop 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The sequel adds branching routes and quicker targets to the arcade light-gun formula.
Crash Bandicoot leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Virtua Cop 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 9
Virtua Cop 2 leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Crash Bandicoot
Tight jumps on narrow paths punish slop
Virtua Cop 2
Faster targets and hostage shots sharpen the aim test
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Crash Bandicoot
Hazards are fixed patterns
Virtua Cop 2
Rail sequences are fixed scripts
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Virtua Cop 2
Branch choices aside, runs are identical
Optimization5 vs 4
Crash Bandicoot leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Crash Bandicoot
Box routes and gem requirements are learnable
Virtua Cop 2
Route branches and spawn memorization drive scores
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.
