Dirt ShowdownvsWii Sports Resort
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Dirt Showdown
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Accessible car control amid demolition chaos rather than precision racing.
Wii Sports Resort
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Island-themed collection of twelve motion-controlled sports showcasing the Wii MotionPlus accessory.
Dirt Showdown leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Wii Sports Resort leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Dirt Showdown
Drifting, boosting and ramming need solid car control
Wii Sports Resort
MotionPlus precision in swordplay, archery and bowling
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dirt Showdown
Demolition modes reward predicting human movement a little
Wii Sports Resort
Local versus duels involve mild feinting
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dirt Showdown
Crash physics and pack chaos add randomness
Wii Sports Resort
Slight physics and CPU pattern randomness
Optimization4 vs 3
Dirt Showdown leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Dirt Showdown
Event types and boost routes are quickly learnable
Wii Sports Resort
Each event has small learnable technique optima
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.
