Olliolli review xbox5/3/2023 ![]() I thought I’d outgrown all the chiptune music but dude! It just made me pine for the simple days of school and college. The soundtrack for these games is an incredible techno chiptune that just flows with the game harmoniously. Meanwhile, OlliOlli is rather drab in comparison which is fine, I guess, less distraction but the stages begin to feel rather samey after a while with the same kind of stage layout, whilst Olliwood has rollercoaster tracks you make your way across or kickflipping up and over a robot! You can tell I’m assumed by the simple things in life. ![]() The graphical style of OlliOlli Switch Stance is an explosion of pixel art beauty especially in the second game which oozes variety with its stage variation filled with streets filled with burning neon signs, gorgeous theme parks and robots, I mean this is Olliwood after all! The unforgiving nature may put a few of you off the ride of OlliOlli but damn do you feel good when you throw together something Rodney Mullen would be proud of! (Rodney Mullen is a master of manuals.) It’s definitely a game that’ll challenge your patience at times, but it really is worth sticking it out. You become a symphony of flips, nollies, noseslides and manuals, well, you do after falling over a lot to begin with. The expanded gameplay allows you to add more variety to your combos as you string tricks together without rails or curbs. Just like in the later Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater titles this was a game changer. The second game, OlliOlli 2 Welcome to Olliwood adds manuals and reverts. OlliOlli has you creating a chain of combos using only the left analog stick and pressing the B button to bend your knees land a perfect trick making it feel more like a rhythm game as you time the tricks into grinding and hopping off that rail or curb to flex your knees at the right time to land a bunch of gnarly tricks! Switch Stance is a revival of the skating genre but within in the 2D plain that tricks you into thinking it’ll be fairly simple but it is far from easy, it’s incredibly technical and takes a while to master. OlliOlli Switch Stance is a bundle of the two games in the franchise. I was generally shit at actual skating, so I played Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 but unfortunately, that time came to end and after the PS2 era, skating games slowly got phased out… TL DR: Two games wrapped in a bundle of technical 2D skating madness!įamily Focus?
