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 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: 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.

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.
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.
