Once you’ve soaked up every ounce of trick-ability from the first game, you’ll easily want to slide into the sequel, OlliOlli 2 : Welcome to Olliwood. Making a quarter, half, or three-quarter rotation beforehand will ramp up the trick into something more serious, netting you some higher scores. A simple flick in one direction will pull simple ollie/nollie’s, and basic kick/heelflips. The difficulty of the flip tricks is rated by the rotation you apply to the joystick before releasing it. In the first game, you’ll have tons of flip tricks and grinds to pull off. Landing scores also acts as sort of multiplier on top of the base score you’ve racked up through your combo, while a Sloppy landing will stun you for a few seconds and risk you bailing out completely. Time it right and you’ll get a Perfect grade, but press it too soon and you’ll get lesser scores, or wait too long and you’ll get a Sloppy. In this game, you actually have to time your landing, pressing B just before you hit the ground. A lot of games will just make sure you’re finished moving your body or your sporting equipment (in this it’s obviously your skateboard). The real skill comes in landing those tricks, though. Anybody can flick a joystick and spam some tricks.
Finish all the challenges on all Pro levels in an area and you’ll unlock a RAD variation to step things up even more by only allowing Perfect Landings and Grinds.īut, OlliOlli doesn’t stop there. If you complete all five challenges within a certain level, it will unlock a Pro version which brings you a harder level, with more difficult challenges. Each Amateur stage comes with five challenge, and there are five of these per area (the game’s worlds). However, simply completing the levels won’t be enough. You’ll utilize twitch movements with the left joystick to dictate which tricks you’d like to perform out of the games self-proclaimed Tricktionary that comes with over a hundred different moves to master. Your job is to navigate the levels and their tricky ledges, rails and obstacles. If you’ve yet to encounter these games, OlliOlli is a skateboarding game that takes on a side-view, auto-scrolling approach. Five years later, here we are with this game still seeing some action as both titles make it onto the Switch, and there couldn’t be a more perfect place for these games to land.
