The pop of the board and the scraping when grinding is very well done. There are some effective audio bits throughout each runthrough. However, none of the tracks are ever particularly memorable, coming across as generic and lifeless.
The soundtrack in OlliOlli: Switch Stance generally has quick tempos and high energy that fits the adrenaline pumping gameplay. It would have gone a long way in fleshing out the experience, whilst also providing pacing to an otherwise repetitive game series. When progressing from one area to the other, it feels incredibly unceremonious. OlliOlli wouldn’t require much of a story as it is a 2D arcade skateboarding game, perhaps a few still comic images that lightly touches on a skating tournament or a skater wish to prove themself. However, a plot in a game gives the player a sense of purpose. Both versions of OlliOlli have not a hint of plot, so I won’t drag this point out. Whilst I am a firm believer in gameplay over story, we shouldn’t dismiss the importance of a game’s plot. If you’re a fan of these games, you may be wondering why I’ve put a heading for the story. Despite being able to do a whole lot of tricks (and mastering them is half the fun), some more variety in gameplay options could have gone a long way. The levels can often be very repetitive jump, grind, trick, grind, land, etc. You will rarely get through a level on the first runthrough, so be prepared to fall a lot! I got some intense flashbacks of my teenage years.

It’s little details such as these when developing for the Nintendo Switch that goes a long way and now that we’ve experiences how much value can be added to a game with HD Rumble, it stands out more than ever when it’s not maximised to its full potential.Įach level varies in different combinations of obstacles, allowing you to perform a wide variety of tricks that forces you to think on your feet (wheels). As you play, you’ll feel little pops in the right places, however a little more emphasis when grinding, hoping to truly feel the scraping of metal on metal, could have further added to the overall experience. Don’t forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more Nintendo Switch content. I would say that the last two courses in OlliOlli 2 had me replaying them over and over a few dozen times because the button presses need to be so incredibly precise. You may find yourself repeating the same level over and over as it takes a long time to become use to the controls. It requires quick thinking and even quicker reflexes. OlliOlli: Switch Stance is not a collection of easy games. It’s a neat little touch that wouldn’t have been amiss if it wasn’t included. OlliOlli: Switch Stance has online Daily Grind challenges that allows you one shot to earn the highest score across the world for bragging rights. OlliOlli: Switch Stance is perfect for streaming as mastering the controls is no easy task, therefore encouraging competition. These optional challenges and attention to high scores by pulling off crazy combos adds to the games’ replayability.

Earn high scores and complete all of the optional challenges in an amateur level in order to unlock pro levels. Progressing from level-to-level is as simple as making it to the end. Whilst OlliOlli was also ported to smart phones, I can understand why this was the case, although being able to use the other buttons or triggers could have made the gameplay so much more intuitive. Pulling off complicated tricks can feel awkward to implement with the single joystick control. However, the controls take a lot of practice and can become very awkward and frustrating. In no time at all, you’ll be performing gnarly tricks and pulling off crazy combos. The gameplay mechanics are difficult at first, but they soon become second nature. So is OlliOlli: Switch Stance a thrillride all the way through or does it fall flat on its face (like my character did countless times)? Gameplay Each stage requires you to make it from start to finish, whilst also containing optional challenges. These games are 2D skateboarding games that allow you to pull off radical tricks and gnarly combos (do people still talk like that, or am I just getting old?).
OlliOlli: Switch Stance is a collection of the two games in the series: OlliOlli and OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood.
