Need for Speed: The Run
Reaction driving through traffic and setpieces is the test
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Dinosaurs charge on fixed scripts, nothing to predict
Need for Speed: The Run
Rivals rubber-band on scripts, nothing to out-think
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dino Stalker
Spawn timing adds modest unpredictability
Need for Speed: The Run
Scripted events surprise once, then are known

Dino Stalker
Ammo and weapon management are light secondary concerns
Need for Speed: The Run
