After 10 wonderful hours with OlliOlli 2 and taking in everything the game has to offer, there's only one reason why you wouldn't buy the game on release; if you don't have a PlayStation 4 or Vita. While other games may offer a laborious grind to the end, OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood brings you a new kind of grinding that never gets old and keeps the sparks flying for hours to come.

OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood takes everything that made the original great and improves on it. It's intricate, stylish and a blast to play, setting the standard for what a sequel should be.

A superbly crafted and challenging technical skating game.

My biggest problem with the game is that it doesn't even pretend to have some sort of context driving the process; instead, it relies on a very antiquated system of beating one level with the only reward being – GASP! – another level. I don't think every modern game needs an in-depth piece of literature driving it, but I do think we're at a point in the evolution of games where there needs to be something to give people a reason to keep playing, beyond more arbitrary levels.

It's tough, unforgiving and initially overwhelming, but hey, that's skateboarding. OlliOlli2 is a glorious platform for self-expression when you nail it, but often it's a bit of a grind.
