Trial and error is required for these games but now we are getting into course memorization territory. I'm talking levels with tons of death traps, obstacles and other pits that there is no way you can avoid on your first ride through each level. OlliOlli 2 does have tutorial levels which teach you as you go about all the mechanics in the game, this is fine, but soon enough, you will discover that the game will be throwing everything at you but the kitchen sink.
#Olliolli2 bust a manual#
Most of the manual markets are on the ground and this is fine, but some of them are on platforms in the air and some of these platforms are hard to tell if they are flat surfaces you are supposed to manual on, or if they are objects you can grind on. It really comes in handy when you are going for big points although when going for objectives such as "collect all the manual markets" it can get kind of confusing. Of course this means that you do lose some momentum so the manual needs to be used at certain spots or you will slow down and crash.

Manuals are easily performed by pressing the left thumbstick and X before you hit the ground. OlliOlli 2 however has brought in the almighty manual so you can land on the ground and continue your combo before launching in the air again or grinding on some rails.
The one thing that was difficult about the first game was that unless there was some kind of rails or terrain to grind on, you would lose your combo. The one thing I like to do is focus on one single objective at a time and when I only have to focus on a single task, I feel it's easier to accomplish them. The good thing though is that you don't have to complete all of the track objectives in a single go. Or you may be flying over a gap performing tricks and the ground comes up fast causing you to wipe out.
You may fly over a gap and then realize that you over shot it when it is way too late. You will however have to learn each levels layout if you want to get some big points. Thankfully, OlliOlli 2 is incredibly fun and the levels are short enough that even though you crash often, you won't feel frustrated having to start over again. You only get one chance to complete each level, crash and you lose all your point and have to start at the beginning again. This gives you a big point bonus but it also means that you are risking crashing and crash you will, a lot. If you are feeling risky, you can hold the trigger buttons down to spin in the air. You hold down on a thumbstick and flick it in different directions for different tricks. Just like the first game the objectives range from getting a high score, grinding or tricking off certain terrain, collecting completing the level without any sloppy ratings or completing a level with all perfect endings. Each level has a set of objectives which need to be completed in order to achieve a more starts which let you advance to later stages. You still skate on a 2D plane with tons of opportunities to grab huge air, grind off of rails and platforms, pull off huge tricks, and of course, try to avoid all of the obstacles in your way. If you played the first OlliOlli then you know what you will be getting with OlliOlli 2. It's an incredibly fun and addictive game that improves upon everything the original had to offer and while it suffers from a difficulty spike problems it doesn't take away from the game itself. It's OlliOlli 2 takes an already great game and makes it a better. The extreme skateboarding genre was pretty much dead in the water since the Tony Hawk and Skate franchises have pretty much been dead for years but OlliOlli was exactly what I was looking for. The first OlliOlli game for me was just what the Doctor ordered.
