The far side is much more heavily cratered, because it's exposed to the brunt of the material falling into the center of the solar system. It's the "wall" exposed to various asteroids/meteroids/comets/debris out there. The near side of partially protected by the Earth's gravity, which does a good job of sweeping that material away.
