The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Forgiving driving and light platforming
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Enemies are scripted; nothing models the player
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
No adaptive opposition exists

Grand Theft Auto III
Pedestrian and traffic chaos lightly randomises encounters
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Fixed missions with trivial traffic noise
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Grand Theft Auto III
Mission routing and city knowledge are learnable systems
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Mission routes, shortcuts, and collectible runs are 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.
