Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads4 vs 4
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance2 vs 1
ISS Pro Evolution 2 leans harder on variance: Slight bounce and keeper randomness within a deterministic sim
Optimization3 vs 4
Resistance 2 leans harder on optimization: Exotic weapon choice and class co-op roles add planning
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
