It may not be a full 3D Skateboarding game like we used to have, but for those who want their extreme skateboarding fix should look no further than OlliOlli. Its fast, fun and incredibly addicting and I think I will be returning to this game many more times in the future.

The soundtrack and gameplay come together to give what initially seems like a small package a lot of replay value.

Satisfying arcade skate-'em-up that's fun from the off, and promises many hours on the hard path to mastery.

OlliOlli is a game that sounds good on paper, but in the end, doesn't work. By the end, you realise you're just going through the same routine, except this time you're flicking the analog stick a bit more than you were a few minutes ago. Only take this one if you're really desperate for something to play when you're on the bus.

It may have some great tunes but, until those controls aren't quite so terrible, I'm going to have assume that OlliOlli was best left on the PS Vita. But, just as I mentioned in the headline, your mileage may vary.
