GamesTM: If the original OlliOlli could very broadly be described as a 2D version of EA Black Boxs Skate, then its sequel is essentially a 2D version of Neversofts Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3. Any semblance of realism has been unceremoniously kickflipped to the curb, and the ludicrous gameplay is augmented by a newly garish visual style and a universe of ghoulish theme parks and futuristic cityscapes. The modest visuals of the original have been overhauled completely, and not only is there a more fluid sense of momentum here, but also unassuming-but-effective pyrotechnics like fireworks and lens flare. This doesnt feel like a 16-bit relic, but a scaled-down port of the most sophisticated skateboarding game ever made; with everything curtailed except for the gameplay.
