OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is a fantastic sequel to the 2014 skateboarding game which builds upon its successor's tough, but fun gameplay. The only downside critics seem to have is that the only reward is more levels.

Critic Reviews for OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood
OlliOlli2 remains very faithful to the template its forbearer set, down to the additional Spot and Daily Grind additional modes that focus attention on deliberately brief scoring challenges. Cautious as its updates initially seem, it is another superb twitch game, obsessed with the currencies of difficulty, speed and score. Best of all, it manages to capture so much of the movement and feel of skateboarding without ostracising players who have never touched a board in real life.
Although 'OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood' doesn't reinvent the wheel as the original game did, as a continuation of last year's skating brilliance it definitely succeeds.
It's tough, unforgiving and initially overwhelming, but hey, that's skateboarding. OlliOlli2 is a glorious platform for self-expression when you nail it, but often it's a bit of a grind.
The additions to this addictive series don't radically change what it is about, but rather plug into what the series is already doing so well
It has a feel that no other game really captures, and a flow that's hypnotic within mere seconds of starting up a new track.
OlliOlli2 adds few changes to the original game's formula, but "more of the same" is enough to make this excellent sequel a consistent joy.
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.
