OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood

OlliOlli2 fails in story, it tries to make up for in aesthetics; it even almost succeeds if it weren’t for the annoying cheesy solar flare in nearly every level. 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.
