Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
FlatOut 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
The bigger, faster sequel doubling down on chaotic crash physics and stunt minigames.
Muppet RaceMania
Execution · Twitch Chaos
A kart racer with random items and drift timing across themed tracks.

No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Muppet RaceMania
AI racers scripted, no real adaptive prediction

Track knowledge and car tuning settle into routine
Muppet RaceMania
Shortcuts and item use reward track knowledge
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.
