    It's OK... but people are going seriously overboard about it. It's certainly worth downloading for free, and the challenge of mastering the mechanics of the game and getting the split second timing down is enjoyable.

    But is this game a 10? Absolutely not! It's not a masterpiece of gaming by any measure you care to use. It's not even in the top five skateboarding games I've ever played.

    But is this game a 10? Absolutely not! It's not a masterpiece of gaming by any measure you care to use. It's not even in the top five skateboarding games I've ever played. This is a typical instance of people overrating something because they're desperate to justify owning it, rather than looking at it on it's own merits.

    It's an indie game, so graphics are unimportant to me, but to mention them quickly - they're functional. They get the job done. Controls are OK, sometimes feeling unresponsive at random points, which is strange as it isn't due to lag or anything I can see; the game just seems to ignore commands every so often. The soundtrack is bang average - actually, there you go, that's the review - bang average.

    There are better indie games on the PS4 already - this title is effectively a solid flash game that ported to a console. Enjoy it for 15 minutes or so for free, after that you'll know if you want another hour or so out of it or you want to uninstall.    … Expand

    Enjoyable game but reaction time and controls are awful. A good game for IOS or ANDROID but I think this game is just not suitable for PS4 controls. Apart from it, you can play it for 1-2 hours as a snack nad it is free in PS+

    Don't get me wrong, I **** love this game, but the game is broken BEYOND BELIEF. The controls are broken, I cannot even count how many times I tried to grind but the game doesn't register, or attempt to manual but instead just land.
    If you can get past broken controls, get it, if not, don't bother.

    If you were a fan of the "Skate" franchise or "Tony Hawk Pro Skater" ,OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood will be perfect for you.

It brings back the stick controls of skate and the Fun/Addictiveness of the Pro Skater games. It's also a great sequel, It's pretty much a improvement on every aspect of the previous game. Each level has great flow to it with a mix of obstacles and bonuses to aim for, some doubling your points or speed but can also lead to you face planting into the ground. The quick and addictive game-play of OlliOlli is what keeps you playing for hours without realizing it, The controls are easy to learn but hard to master, but once you start pulling off even the smallest of combos you feel very accomplished.
    The level design is quite diverse with themes ranging: Cites,Ancient Ruins,Wild West and other things to experience yourself. But it's great to skate in more places then just a city, the more extreme feels give the game a fun arcade feel.
    If you have PS+ this month I highly recommend you give this game a try and even if you don't or miss the offer I still urge any skateboard fan to give this game a try, I can assure you will become addicted.    … Expand

    It's a side-scrolling skating game. Pretty challenging and fun for a bit, but gets old fast. Mainly made me want to play an old Tony Hawk pro skater game.

They are however way too much work for nothing. Im with leventguller reaction time sucks. maybe if it were on something else. It just isnt built for ps4 controller. it reminds me more of a platform game than skating game anyhow just throwing that in there. Oh yea i haven't played tony hawk in years but if remember right u Couldn't get away with mashing buttons. Idk just feel like i should of passed on this not really ripped off, just meh.… Expand

    This game is alright, the approach is cool to the skating genre of games, but if you're like me, and you are used to the Skate franchise and how the skating mechanics are in that game, good luck forgetting that and learning these mechanics, i often find myself grinding when i mean to manual, and manualing when i mean to grind. it is a huge learning curve to overcome if you're used to theThis game is alright, the approach is cool to the skating genre of games, but if you're like me, and you are used to the Skate franchise and how the skating mechanics are in that game, good luck forgetting that and learning these mechanics, i often find myself grinding when i mean to manual, and manualing when i mean to grind. it is a huge learning curve to overcome if you're used to the Skate franchise's mechanics, not to mention you have to hit the X Button every time that you want to land, which gets annoying and trivial a lot of the time, because i'll personally have a great combo going and just because i forgot to hit the land button, it ruins it all in one unforgiving 'Sloppy' land, the level design and the art style are pretty great for a 2D Side scroller, but it does not make up for the extremely hard learning curve that you endure if you're used to controlling a virtual skate-board differently. i like this game, but i also dislike the way that you are meant to carry out the task of actually skating. which is why i give it a 5/10 it's fun to play, but good luck getting any high scores with out logging endless ours of failing miserably. The sound track is very good though i will give it that.… Expand

    The game has great animations, and the controller works sometimes. If you are looking to get frustrated, this game is right up your alley. It is a breeze at first, but don't get fooled, you have to truly master this game to be able to finish it.

    Improved animation fluidity and collision detection made OlliOlli 2 a near-perfect arcade game. [07/2015, p.75]
