Building comparison
head to head
Half-Life 2vsWii Play
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Half-Life 2
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Landmark FPS built on physics puzzles and tight gunplay.
Wii Play
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Nine pointer-driven minigames bundled with a Wii Remote, from duck-hunt shooting to table tennis.
Half-Life 2 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Wii Play leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Minigames are too shallow to deeply optimise
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.
