head to head
Spin Rhythm XDvsStar Wars Episode I: Racer
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Chart study and controller technique choices
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Pod part upgrades and track memorization converge quickly.
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.
