HomefrontvsWii Play
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Homefront

Linear military FPS about resisting an occupation of the United States.
Wii Play
Execution · Pure Mechanics

Standard shooter gunplay carries the campaign
Wii Play
Pointer aim and timing carry shooting and ping-pong games
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Multiplayer adds some human prediction
Wii Play
Two-player duels add slight mutual prediction
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
