For example, Olliolli 2 would often require a specific trick, but that doesn’t happen in this game. The level goals are quite a bit different from the originals, in a way you might expect me to be upset about. This game is less about high scores than the originals, but when you need to get one, there’s a deep bag of tricks to pick from. Also, if you hold B, you can do late flips. Hold it for long enough, and it gets tweaked. When you’re in the air, you move it in a direction, and you’ll do a grab.
Even if you’ll be doing them blindly most of the time because you’re always looking ahead for obstacles.īut on top of the flip tricks, there are grabs too, mapped to the right stick. The amount of tricks that they fit into the control scheme is really impressive. You’ve got your basics like kickflips, heelflips, varial flips, 360 flips, and some more interesting stuff like casper flips, fingerflips, kickflip underflips, font foot impossibles.

But it can get pretty complicated too, with half rotations, full rotations, and even rotations that go back and forth for special tricks. If you hold down and let go, you’ll ollie. To do a trick, you can dial it in on the left stick. Soon enough it’s going to sound like you’re playing Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero.

If you’ve never played a game in the series before, the controls are simple. Sometimes they have tips about where to meet side characters that appear in levels, but it’s mostly fluff. It’s a good framework for the game, and I’m glad it was there, even if I usually skip the story parts.Įach level starts with a cutscene with these characters that help explain the lore of the game. And you’re competing to take over that role by mastering all of the gods’ different zones.
There are Skate Godz in Radlandia, and there’s one person who’s basically a high priest that can commune with the gods. They also added in a story to go with the style. I liked the style, but it was kind of generic. Speaking of style, the last game was strictly 2D, with a very realistic looking skater. This is a level of polish that the originals didn’t come close to, and this stuff goes a long way toward adding longevity to the game. And you unlock a ton of stuff as you play, including animations for how you get on and off your board.
You can make anything you want in here, in whatever crazy colors you can dream up. But the character customizer is very extensive. The characters they show on loading screens are sometimes eye-jarring color and pattern combinations. It’s new school, with lots of vibrant and pastel colors. But before we get into that, let’s take a look at the art style. This time around, I was surprised by the difficulty. That’s the level of precision you needed for OlliOlli 2.
When I switched to Xbox, it worked a lot easier. The first time around, I played on PC, and my controller had enough lag to make it even harder than it should have been. I grabbed this game on the Xbox Series X. Is this going to make the game even harder? Is it going to ruin the enjoyment I got out of the originals? Branching paths, wallrides, even crystals that you have to hold grabs to break through. And in the trailers, it showed that this new version added in a bunch of stuff by moving to 3D. Like, tear out your hair and smash your controllers hard. The last two games in the series were hard. I had some trepidation going into this game.
