-
Mar 19, 2015OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is a game that takes you skyhigh just to drop you down painfully. This hardcore game needs perfect timing, offers a great diversity in surroundings and a great soundtrack. Too bad the local multiplayer is not added to this awesome game yet.

However, it still requires a lot of practice and can prove to be rather confusing when the level and visual design aren't that clear.
-
Mar 16, 2015Would 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.
-

-

-
Apr 8, 2015OlliOlli 2 Welcome to Olliwood is better than its predecessor in every way, expect for one: the both of them are infuriatingly difficult, and being so, are not exactly the best game to recommend to anyone who has a normal dose of patience.
-
Mar 3, 2015The 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.
