Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
MotorStorm leans harder on execution: Boost-on-the-edge driving across deforming terrain tests reflexes.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 4
Re-Volt leans harder on variance: Random pickups swing race outcomes
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
