The beauty is in the backdrops, some of which are gorgeous and somewhat distracting as a result. Graphically, the main character and the various obstacles have an 8- or 16-bit feel to them, yet the animations are quite detailed. Rad mode, for example, only allows for perfect landings and grinds, virtually making the game… IMPOSSIBLE. There’s a combo scoreboard, and a level scoreboard, as well as several other modes to fill out the list – a completionist will have many hours ahead of them if they want to get through everything that’s on offer.

However, it’s more than that – there are challenges within each Amateur level (of which there are 25), and achieving them all will open up a Pro level, each with their own more complex challenges. In a way, it feels like so many 8- and 16-bit games before it there’s no real story to become involved in, there’s a set number of levels, and “completing” the game is as simple as finishing them all. It’s clearly still a game, but - like skateboarding - it’s DIFFICULT.Īlthough it maintains a modern feel, part of what makes OlliOlli good is the fact that it is JUST a game. In all of these ways, the game becomes more realistic – to a degree.
One jump = one trick landing itself requires a kind of skill (timed button press), and there’s no way to change up your grind without jumping. Playing out horizontally in a 2D environment, OlliOlli makes skateboarding a kind of platform game. OlliOlli still contains some of that - I’d like to see a pro skater pull off some of these combos - but it strips away a lot of what got in the way of the fun.

Eventually, what had originally rekindled an interest in skateboarding became an exercise in hyperbole made real later titles in the series were incredibly unrealistic and impossibly grandiose. That series sadly grew stale over the years, adding an unnecessary story and generally getting too big for its own worth. A skateboarding game with a bent towards score chasing and trick combos, it has a lot to thank the Tony Hawk series for.
For a small independent title, there’s been a lot of noise about OlliOlli.
