Micro MachinesvsWorld Tour Soccer 2002
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Micro Machines
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Tests precise steering on cramped miniature tracks where one slip means falling off the table.

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Micro Machines
Tiny cars on twisty tabletop tracks demand constant precise steering
World Tour Soccer 2002
player control, passing and shooting precision
Reads3 vs 3
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Micro Machines
Local multiplayer screen-edge duels reward predicting rivals' lines

opponent play in human matches adds reads
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Micro Machines
Tracks are fixed; little randomness beyond AI bumping
World Tour Soccer 2002
minor bounce/ref randomness
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

tactics and formation choices 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.
