Grinding around on the local park’s rails and generally being cooler than you were. In recent years there’s been something of a paradigm shift in what the popular bunch at high school do.
OLLIOLLI2 WELCOME TO OLLIWOOD IGG MANUAL
Popping a manual has been replaced with creating a 1:1 replica of the creepy science teacher’s face in Minecraft. Where we were once beholden to our social rulers and their conversations about the skatepark, youths of the world now discuss Call of Duty loadouts. OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood capitalizes on this old fad meets new fad idea, bringing skateboarding back to gaming. Well when we say bringing it back to gaming, that’s already been done by developer roll7’s predecessor to OlliOlli 2, OlliOlli. That game gave PS Vita owners a welcome taste of 2D skateboarding on Sony’s little handheld before bringing its majesty onto almost every other platform in the world today. It did this using a mechanical formula which luckily hasn’t been tampered with. OlliOlli 2 doesn’t try to break the mold, it adds a wealth of features onto the original. It was delicious on its own, but the follow up has more sprinkles and those little silvery ball things that are putting your dentist’s kids through college. OlliOlli 2 takes place through five utterly weird as hell worlds. There’s no story or lore linking them, mainly because if there was, it’d require more drugs than were taken throughout the 60’s to even comprehend. Luckily for us mere humans the gameplay is cohesive as a pair of LEGO bricks, slotting together all of its elements perfectly.
The aim of the game is, at its most basic level, to get from one end of the level to the other without falling off your skateboard. That’s all you actually have to do and if you’re that way inclined, it’s a more than adequate way to play OlliOlli 2. If you’re only trying to survive though, you’d be conning yourself out of the best content developer roll7 has to offer. Early on, you’re tasked with pushing yourself along the ground and not landing face first on it. Soon after, you’ll have to expertly weavegrinds and switches into the mix. Somehow, a pair of digitized hands burst forth from the screen of your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation Vita and squeeze you with a stranglehold so tight your contacts’ll pop out.
It then proceeds to pour tricks and challenges directly into your cerebral cortex.
