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.
Our thumbs still hurt from the original, but Olliolli2 makes us just as addicted as the first. More content, more tricks and higher scores; this really is the perfect sequel.
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.
Olli Olli: Welcome to Olliwood improves on its predecessor in most of the mechanics that we saw in the past. New movements, great level design and full of content, this game is a great example of an addictive experience.
If you missed the first game, though, this is the better of the two, and the tutorial will ease you into what its 2D skateboarding is all about. And if you loved it the first time around, "more OlliOlli" shouldn't sound like a bad thing. Provided you can get over the difficulty hump, you'll find a great high score chase in OlliOlli2.
The good news is OlliOlli2 retains the pure mechanics of skateboarding despite its increased absurdity. The bad news is, just like in real life, skateboarding here is hard, and sometimes the euphoria you feel at the level’s end isn’t worth the grind it takes to get there.
SummaryOlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood plucks the iconic skater from the street and dropping him squarely in the middle of the Big Screen’s most bodacious cinematic locations.
