There’s also Combo Rush, a local multiplayer tournament mode, splitting the screen into sections allowing up to four players to skate simultaneously for the highest score – a nice addition for the competitive beasts out there. The previously-mentioned manuals are a great addition to increase the risk-and-reward element by giving you a chance to keep combos going, leading to an almighty payoff at the end, or agonising frustration after stacking it at the same obstacle for the fifth time in a row. Aside from more levels and more grinding than the seediest of nightclubs, OlliOlli 2 steps it up with bigger jumps and bigger chances to score. In addition to chasing high scores, these challenges incentivise replaying levels in a clever way, feeding into OlliOlli ’s addictive one-more-try loop.Īfter playing the first, OlliOlli 2 immediately impresses with a fresher art style pumped with more colour and feel-good visual prompts when landing killer combos. This forced me to approach the level in an entirely unique way, going for big tricks in the limited opportunities available instead of relying on rails to chain a big score, which was a great way to break me out of a monotonous mindset. One such challenge set the gauntlet of scoring a lowly 10,000 points, but without grinding, which is how you link tricks together to form one long combo. It’s satisfying ticking off OlliOlli ’s challenges as you skate, especially the more obscure ones encouraging you to skate in ways you previously may not have considered. You could probably achieve the same sensation in real life by slamming your junk into a metal handrail, but each to their own. ![]() Completing all challenges in a level unlocks the “pro” version of the course – a more difficult variation featuring its own challenges. Every level tempts you with five optional challenges to complete, like beating a target score, or nailing a specific trick. Packed with sets of levels to skate through, the original OlliOlli sees you skating down various slopes, avoiding increasingly bizarre obstacles such as Soviet-styled weapons caches, and showing off your sweet skills en route to the cheering crowd of people at each level’s end. OlliOlli the first features one main game mode: play.
