Audibly meanwhile, Olli Olli 2’s music is a melting pot of genres, with such new varied tune-smiths as Flako, Dorian Concept and Qemists all contributing to a riveting, kaleidoscopic soundtrack that acts as the perfect partner to the on-screen shenanigans.

#OLLIOLLI2 WELCOME TO OLLIWOOD REVIEW PRO#

Boasting some 50 new non-linear amateur and pro levels and 250 challenges in addition to unlockable higher levels of difficulty, a myriad of new tricks to master and the aforementioned daily grinds, it’s clear that Roll7 haven’t skimped on value in the slightest.Īudiovisually, while the second coming of Olli Olli hasn’t seen the sort of changes that the gameplay systems have, the new softer looking visuals do aid the overall look of the package with tricks becoming a lot clearer and stages now being far easier on the eye. Examples such as collecting spray cans, tokens or performing a set number of specific tricks can all be attempted in isolation, meaning that progress can still be made even if an overall run on a given level proves less than desirable.įrom a longevity standpoint, peering beneath OlliOlli 2’s stylish veneer soon reveals an embarrassment of riches that should keep folks entertained for a good old while or at least until they keel over from competitively triggered, stress-related trauma. Olli Olli’s hopelessly compelling daily grind mode returns in which players can compete for global leaderboard top spots on a random stage that changes each day, while the popular spots mode reappears with an expanded set of challenges that allow players to get the most from OlliOlli 2’s burgeoning new trick and combo system.įurthermore, the multi-tiered goal system that made the levels in the original so darn compelling in the first place also make its welcome return, allowing players to aim for individual goals on a case-by-case basis without worrying about their overall performance. While the new feature set of Roll7’s skater sequel is effective yet modest in scope (the upcoming multiplayer modes notwithstanding), just about everything that defined the original returns in largely unaltered form and in doing so, should more than satisfy OlliOlli veterans. Naturally what follows on OlliOlli 2’s more challenging stages, is frequent, pad-hammering restarts as stage objectives are lost by the smallest of margins and where success always seems no more than one more try away.

Here, developer Roll7 are keen to lower the artificial barriers in this regard, with an instant restart just a couple of button presses away, players can immediately retry a level in an effort to improve their skills with absolutely minimal delay. Mastery in OlliOlli 2, much like its predecessor, is achieved through constant replay and refinement of technique. Just like its predecessor, OlliOlli 2 is so responsive and pixel-perfect in its skateboarding hyperkinetics that the smallest adjustment can prove to be the difference between a perfect trick and a terribly botched one. With blistered thumbs, worn analogue sticks and torn hair follicles all being tell-tale signs of long-term exposure to Olli Olli’s brutally engaging pixel-perfect gameplay, it comes as a pleasant surprise that Roll7 have not diminished the sequel in anyway in this regard. Simply put, OlliOlli 2’s new locations and trick friendly, multiple path stages provide a veritable playground for newbie and stalwart grinders alike to ply their trade.Ĭontinued what a trade it is.

Representing much more than just a cosmetic switch from the disparate and disconnected stages of the original, OlliOlli 2’s extravagant movie sets and film-themed locations provide an excellent playground inside which the sequel’s newly expanded combo system and array of tricks are able to flourish.Ī massive robot on a sci-fi set provides ample opportunity for long grinds with its extended limbs, while multiple routes seamlessly integrated into each stage, ensuring far more variety than the decidedly linear stages glimpsed in the original.

Clearly though, it’s the inclusion of manuals, which are able to almost indefinitely extend trick combos, that serve to augment the experience most meaningfully beyond the original OlliOlli’s already substantial creative scope for trick-fu.įurther freshening up the experience, is the new Hollywood style setting that permeates throughout OlliOlli 2. Elsewhere, the inclusion of additional tricks compounded by the presence of newly rolling hills and huge-air enabling glowing ramps provides yet further creativity for budding skaters to unleash their art.
