    OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood takes everything that made the original great and improves on it. It's intricate, stylish and a blast to play, setting the standard for what a sequel should be.

    Great fun for skateboarding enthusiasts. Requires patience and commitment, but it's deeply rewarding.

    Olli Olli 2 may be incredibly difficult at times but it is also non stop fun. It takes everything that made the first game great and made it even better.

    Olli Olli: Welcome to Olliwood improves on its predecessor in most of the mechanics that we saw in the past. New movements, great level design and full of content, this game is a great example of an addictive experience.

    Would a game like this ultimately steal months of my life, like some bigger titles? No. But it is super fun to play as the casual – yet deep – game that it is.

    Developer Roll7 delivers a sequel that makes the original unattractive and boring in comparison. With an awesome art style, great level design and the inclusion of manuals this game is a blast to play.

    The good news is OlliOlli2 retains the pure mechanics of skateboarding despite its increased absurdity. The bad news is, just like in real life, skateboarding here is hard, and sometimes the euphoria you feel at the level’s end isn’t worth the grind it takes to get there.

So i decided to look on the PlayStation store to see if i could download it on my PlayStation 4, unfortunately you cannot. However whilst looking i came across this gem of a game. In one word its beautiful although challenging.

    At first i found it difficult to get used to the totally unique controls but once i overcame the learning curve the game felt sharp, yet fluid and effortless. Passing through each level can take a huge number of attempts as you learn when and when not to continue combos to eventually reach the end but the super quick re-spawn times means you never stop playing.

    I have one minor problem with the game though and that is some of the more difficult tricks for example double kick-flips and 720 flips are very difficult to pull off due to the fact you must move the analog stick in more than one direction as well as hold either R1 or L1 therefore making these tricks harder to preform accurately especially when you are mid combo and travelling at high speed.

    to conclude i love this game with its fast pace and seriously addictive game play but one thing stops it from being a 10.

I had seen my favourite Youtubers play the original OlliOlli, and I was quite interested by the gameplay mechanics. Fortunately, OlliOlli 2 is a thrilling game with a fantastic control scheme. Yes, the game is quite challenging however it can be genuinely satisfying and rewarding at times. I feel that these three words can describe OlliOlli 2. Beautiful, fun and challenging. The graphics and music of OlliOlli 2 are superb. The sound effects were also impressive. There is quite a bit to do in OlliOlli 2, however I think they should have added a level creator mode and an endurance mode. Apart from that, Olli Olli 2 is a fantastic game. I would definitely recommend you to get this game providing how cheap it is. Expand

At it's core, the game is a simple side scrolling skating game, with limited amount of tricks, but a huge amount of maps. It's not a bad game per se, but it just gets very old very fast.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a strong proponent of retro side scrollers, and I used to devour Tony Hawk's when they were still cool. The problem I have with this game is multifaceted. The most important one are the controls. The game does require a very precise timing to land all the tricks, but at least to me, the controls don't feel crisp enough to achieve this. There's just something off with the visual cues, controller input and whether or not you're successful in landing a jump to a point where luck seems to be involved more than skill. This particularly frustrating with landing a manual, where half the time you're on point, and half the time not for no apparent reason.

    Secondly, while there are a great amount of maps available, it doesn't alleviate the feeling of repetitiveness in the game.

    Bottom line, like someone before me mentioned, this game is at it's best when I start to feel like rummaging through the old boxes and fire up a Tony Hawk's for an evening or too. Your mileage may vary.

    tried as PS+ game so had open mind, but gobsmacked at the high reviews for this?!

I didn't play it for 5 minutes but cleared career mode on amateur before deleting in disgust. Side scrolling borefest with graphics that look like they are from an Amiga. The gameplay while admittedly slick is nauseating to me, as difficulty ramps up the only way i could play was letting your eyes glaze so all your seeing is the points u need to jump/skate etc...not exactly what i'd call fun of any description. Am sure I could find a myriad of similar quality free PC games which i'd never bother to look at. Not what I bought a PS4 for, terrible! Expand
