Jazz, hip hop, lounge beats all take your along in the game and fit the style and genre like a glove. Ending on a Fine NoteĪs if there wasn’t anything else that could go right with this game, there is the music and it is brilliant as well. Even if you are not usually a competitive person, once you play this mode you will be as it hooks you in to a world where winning is everything. Where the game excels even for there is with the Gnarvana league where you are placed into a group of ten others and each day you get the chance to get the high score for a randomly generated level. Whilst there is no co operative play as such, the leaderboards do generate enough competitiveness to make that oversight forgivable. Whilst not essential it’s a decent distraction whilst you get ready for your next run and it’s easy to use the shop so it never feels like it is in the way.
Olli olli world full#
Whilst you don’t use points to enhance any super powers, your power is your board, you can get some cool outfit upgrades and I even got the chance to have a full of head hair for the first time in about 25 years! You can change your board colours, wheels and shorts as well as T-shirts and much more. Combo’s will ensure more points and points means cash you can spend. Combo’s, High Scores and LeaderboardsĪt the heart of Olli Olli World are the leaderboards and if, like me, you want to see your name at the top of them (rarely happens but you got to keep trying haven’t you?) this will get your competitive edge flowing. I went back and tried again until I nailed it. If I failed at one hurdle there was never any way that I was going to give in. Rocks and barriers crop up when least expected leaving you to rely on your reflexes but the feeling I got from avoiding them with a trick or two made it all feel worth the energy put into playing the game. Putting in the effort to learn will result in rewards which to me os exactly how it should be. Whilst this is an easy game to learn, the challenge to master the game can be brutal but never quite feels unfair which is all credit to the developers. Stairs, grind rails, half pipes are all here and a new favourite of mine, the wall grinds as you defy gravity and move along walls that at times are static and others are moving just to add to the dizzying speed of the game. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, as the saying goes. The gameplay doesn’t veer far from the tried and tested formula of the original games and with good reason. See that wall? You can jump and grind that! Yes you can. If you have splashed out on the Nintendo Switch OLED model then your eyes will be treated to brighter colours and the larger screen makes handheld play better than ever. The transition into the background and foreground is as smooth as you could wish for and the whole performance of the game is faultless in both docked and handheld modes. I can see why the story has been added in to aid accessibility and some will find it charming which is fine – it’s just not for this grumpy old gamer! (More old than grumpy I hope) The characters are there to add some padding to your journey and although they make the odd amusing quip, after a while I just wanted to speed past those parts and get back to the meat of the game. Vibrant, colourful and inhabitants who are almost too jolly for their own good. I doubt there is a happier place than Radlandia. Meet the gaming Gods who created Radlandia! Have you got what it takes to join them? (Handheld mode) The very top man is Chiffon and he has decided it is time to hang up his board and pass the mantle onto someone else and that someone else could be you! Any idea of just grabbing your board and filling his trainers needs to be removed from your head very quickly though because you need to work for your place among the elite and work hard. It was all about getting on your skateboard and getting on with learning the art but here we have a new art style which is more cartoony, brighter and more sumptuous than before and along with it, comes a story of sorts.Īs in tune with the skateboarding world as it could ever be, you are thrust into Radlandia, a world that came about thanks to five Gods who wanted to create a world that every boarder could only ever have dreamed of.
