head to head
Forza Motorsport 4vsTony Hawk's Underground
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Forza Motorsport 4
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A sim racer where driving precision and car tuning both determine lap times.
Tony Hawk's Underground
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A story-driven skateboarding game still won by trick execution.
Forza Motorsport 4 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Tony Hawk's Underground leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Forza Motorsport 4Tony Hawk's Underground
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 8
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Forza Motorsport 4
precise braking, throttle, and racing lines
Tony Hawk's Underground
Combos plus off-board tricks keep the input ceiling high
Reads1 vs 0
Forza Motorsport 4 leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Forza Motorsport 4
AI drivers don't meaningfully adapt
Tony Hawk's Underground
Story missions are scripted, not adaptive
Variance1 vs 0
Forza Motorsport 4 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Forza Motorsport 4
minor race incident randomness
Tony Hawk's Underground
Fixed levels and mission scripts
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

car tuning and upgrade optimization
Tony Hawk's Underground
Mission and score-line routing remain solvable
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.
