![]() There's nothing more embarrassing than trying to pull off a manual in order to keep your combo going and faceplanting because the move doesn't exist. Maybe that's for the best, as comparing the original to its superior sequel is just frustrating at times. Frustratingly, players can't switch between the two games unless they reboot the software. If you start with the original, you should still have a blast grinding through. That being said, newcomers will have no clue what they're missing out on. It's somewhat frustrating to know that you could be doing cooler combos if the game just allowed for it. The trick system simply feels incomplete without this key addition. This is due to the sequel adding manuals, a trick that allows skilled players to combo through entire levels. However, it's extremely difficult to go back to the original after playing Welcome to Olliwood. This is obvious in the compilation, as both games share the same structure. OlliOlli essentially nailed the formula on its first go. The first game has great locales but they're hard to go back to. Helping make every trick a tense affair is that a single bail will end a run prematurely, and each level has five separate goals to complete. Million point combos can turn into just a few thousand with just one missed opportunity. Even if you combo through an entire stage, a high score won't be achieved unless the landing is smooth. ![]() It's a brilliant mix that forces players to time their landings via a button press in order to get the maximum points. ![]() While this hopefully means that the developer will revisit the series sooner rather than later, I'll never ignore an excuse to grind some rails.įor those not familiar with the series, it essentially takes the analog stick-based trick system of Skate, blends it with the over-the-top locales of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and throws in challenging courses that wouldn't look out of place in Trials. Despite Not A Hero and Laser League broadening their audience, the studio went back to their skateboarding roots with the Switch compilation that packs together OlliOlli and OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood. OlliOlli: Switch Stanc e is a celebratory lap for indie developer Roll7, which has achieved critical acclaim with each of their releases. ![]()
