Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Hardware: Rivals
Pickup spawns add mild positional randomness
Nintendo Land
Some random layouts and item spawns
Optimization3 vs 3
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Weapon-pickup control and map knowledge underpin wins
Nintendo Land
Per-attraction tactics, mostly shallow
