The world is populated with colorful and fantastical creatures like walking bananas, smiling trees, giant bees holding signs for you to wall ride on, huge frogs (sometimes riding those giant bees) and, of course, the Skate Godz that you meet at the end of each world. But this at least makes it easier to learn levels and work on problem spots without having to tackle the entire course again.īut the levels are both extremely well designed and visually interesting, so I was eager to play and replay them until I mastered all the challenges and found as many secrets as I possibly could. Of course, if you had a huge combo going that got interrupted, you’ll lose out on that opportunity for big points. In a concession to the game’s history of bruising difficulty, though, levels now have checkpoints - so if you blow it 90 percent of the way through the level, you can try that last segment again. For starters, you need to navigate grind rails, gaps, ramps and other obstacles to get to the end before you can progress. There’s a host of ways to challenge yourself as you skate through these levels. But even if you don’t count those levels, there’s far more to explore in OlliOlli World than the two earlier games, each of which had 50 levels total. The first one, Sunshine Valley, had close to 20 distinct levels, a handful of which were merely training levels meant to introduce the basics of skating, grinding and pulling off different tricks. The game is split into five different areas, three of which were playable in my demo. That’s the same basic formula as the original games, but the scope of OlliOlli World is much greater. Developer Roll7 has made a game that’s significantly more approachable than the original titles - but one that keeps the twitch-response gameplay and score-chasing highs intact for those who crave them.įor the uninitiated, OlliOlli World is a, 2.5D skateboarding platformer where your character simply has to make it from one end of the course to the other while pulling off as many tricks and combos as possible. After playing an extended preview of the game over the last week, I’m no longer concerned.

I was worried that OlliOlli World, a new direction for the series that arrives on February 8th, was going to dispense with that level of challenge. It can be infuriating, but also extremely satisfying to pull off just the right combo of tricks and grinds needed for a big score. These side-scrolling skateboarding games start out easily enough, but if you want to complete every challenge, get ready to play and replay some levels dozens of times over. OlliOlli and its sequel, OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood, are notoriously difficult to master.
