    Despite the fact that I never got used to the controls I can't say it's not an amazingly made game. The levels and challenges are designed masterfully. This game will punish you the farther you go into it. If you're hardcore then this is a game for you. However it's challenge can get in the way of fun, so be warned.

However it's challenge can get in the way of fun, so be warned.

    It's going to require skill, dedication, perfection, and just dumb luck to master everything this game has to offer. There's a new challenge around every corner. If you're looking for something to test your skills then look no further. The problem is that the difficulty takes the game to points where it just isn't fun anymore. I've never raged so hard in a game before. Eventually I just cast it aside, never to be played again.

    The only issue it actually has with gameplay is that sometimes the controls just won't respond at random times. It's not an issue of lag, but there will be times when the game won't respond to your input. It's rare, but still leads to cheap deaths in a game that already kills you often.

    Speaking of death it will send you back to the beginning of a level. Not a huge issue considering that levels are pretty short, but in the later levels when they get longer it's irritating to have to go back through the motions just to get back to the part where you need the practice. Repetition is never fun.

    As a whole though this is a good game. Especially if you love punishing yourself with games that have brutal difficulty. The pain it causes actually ended up making me hate it, myself, and the developers. Yet I can't deny it's a well-made game. I recommend only so long that you can handle the countless deaths, frustration, and anger that lies ahead.

    I give "OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood" a 7.5/10.    … Expand

    Maddening and brilliant in equal measure. [May 2015, p.70]

    The good news (if that continued dedication to being insanely hard doesn't count as good news for you) is that OlliOlli2 is also just as addictive as its predecessor.

    Sometimes less is more. The new manual mechanic is fun, but it's also the default thing to do. The chase for the perfect combo is good, but when that ends OlliOlli 2 doesn't do much to provide meaningful choices to the players. It's still a great skate game, able to capture the spirit of the sport, but it could have done "less".
