FlatOut 2Revenge of the 'Gator
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads1 vs 0
FlatOut 2 leans harder on reads: No adaptive opposition worth modeling
Variance3 vs 4
Revenge of the 'Gator leans harder on variance: Ball physics and bonus drops introduce real chaos
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
