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

Execution · Practiced Mastery
Black-and-white Wii brawler chasing stylish kills for points.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
An open-world crime game where combat combos and driving skill carry the action.
MadWorld leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Sleeping Dogs leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
MadWorld leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
MadWorld
Motion-combo brawling and boss QTE timing
Sleeping Dogs
brawling and driving need timing/aim
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
MadWorld
Enemies are scripted fodder
Sleeping Dogs
scripted enemy AI, no adaptation
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
MadWorld
Arenas are fixed
Sleeping Dogs
minor loot and traffic randomness
MadWorld leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
MadWorld
Score multipliers reward creative kill routing
Sleeping Dogs
upgrade paths and mission routes 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.
