OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood Reviews
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.
Daily Challenges and split-screen multiplayer and pro-versions of tracks and a really cool soundtrack are all other things that OlliOlli 2 has going for it. It's an improvement on the scrappier feeling original, introducing that one tiny combo-blending manual trick that transforms the game into a profoundly new-feeling and lovely thing.
I did have fun playing it, and it's a really appealing game in a lot of ways, but the input issues are a significant problem.
Many games attempt to deliver on something that is easy to play but hard to master. OlliOlli 2 succeeds on this and literally welcomes you to prove it.
OlliOlli2 has extracted the very essence of skateboarding and poured it into two-dimensional bliss.
Fit for the red carpet.
OlliOlli 2 is absolutely overflowing with content. It's challenging, addictive, and gorgeous -- an absolute must-have for high score chasers and skate junkies.
OS refuses liability for any damage that OlliOlli 2 may cause to your hands, your controllers, and/or your entertainment center.
OlliOlli 2 is an evolution of the series, rather than a revolution, and whilst it may not have as big of an impact as the original, it still introduces some excellent changes, bringing with it numerous little tweaks and improvements.
A dazzling blast of near-perfection
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood is the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 of side-scrolling skateboarding games. And yes, that's a good thing.
OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliworld is a righteous sequel. It's just so sweet. There are gameplay and visual improvements, and they're significant enough to make the game feel like a totally fresh experience when compared to the original title.
My biggest problem with the game is that it doesn't even pretend to have some sort of context driving the process; instead, it relies on a very antiquated system of beating one level with the only reward being – GASP! – another level. I don't think every modern game needs an in-depth piece of literature driving it, but I do think we're at a point in the evolution of games where there needs to be something to give people a reason to keep playing, beyond more arbitrary levels.
If you are looking for a fun time look no further than OlliOlli 2: Welcome to OlliWood
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood is a solid sequel that manages to provide quite a bit of innovation through its Manual system, while bringing more varied layouts and a slightly smoother difficulty curve. 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.
OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood is more of the same, but that isn't a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
A 2d Tony Hawk style skateboard game focused on tricks and speed. Well designed, great levels, and tons of fun, but it becomes extremely challenging.
OlliOlli 2 will test you. The controls are simple and straightforward, but success requires precision. Across 50 levels and five worlds, you will trick, you will combo, you will fail, and finally... you will succeed. OlliOlli 2 is a wonderfully tight zen experience from beginning to end. It's worth the price of admission.
