The experience demands players land or grind in a very particular way if they want to be successful and get the most out of their efforts. It really reinforces a key tenet from the original OlliOlli: precision. The manual introduces a critical element of risk and reward, daring players to keep a combo going throughout an entire level and punishing those who deliver anything less than excellence. Landing a manual after pulling off a grind or trick allows players to keep a combo going, allowing you to string together a series of maneuvers into a single, colossal trick. It may sound like a small difference, but it makes for a world of difference. Outside of the sleek, new art direction, the most apparent distinction at work here is the manual, a trick where skateboarders balance on their back wheels while moving forward. This feels like the game Roll7 always wanted to make. After spending many hours comparing the games side by side, I can confidently say OlliOlli 2 is a great leap forward. OlliOlli 2 seems nearly identical to its predecessor, or that was my initial impression, at least.
