OLLIOLLI2 WELCOME TO OLLIWOOD GAMEPLAY MOVIE

Like all great control-schemes, this one is straightforward but demands your full attention to master. I was grinding and jumping well enough to feel confident after taking the time to learn the moves – and to be fair, the moves are hard but they can be learned. You do eventually get the hang of movement. This game is lighthearted and inviting, and there is a nice sense of fun at all times.

OLLIOLLI2 WELCOME TO OLLIWOOD GAMEPLAY MOVIE

You never get tired of looking at this game, as it moves you through various “Hollywood movie sets,” such as the futuristic sci-fi scene, or the cowboy-movie lot – then, every time you finish a level successfully, you roll up to “paparazzi” who scramble to take your picture. Lots of color abounds here, using a gorgeous, full chromatic palette, making this game as easy on the eyes as a California sunset – it is a fitting motif, then, for a game that uses the sunny climes and palm trees of Hollywood as its inspiration. There is an artistic stylishness to the look of the game that, for me, hearkened back to the even earlier days of Atari and Intellivision (I guess I am dating myself there), rather than the SNES. I was impressed right away with the game’s fresh visual style – at first glance, one might be tempted to call it a 16-bit retro style, but it is not quite that easy to categorize. Having not played the original title, and not being a veteran of skateboarding titles, I came to OlliOlli2 with an open mind.
