OllI Olli 1 and 2: Skatesfaction

We play games for a variety of reason. Some play them to connect with their friends, others to be immersed and experience something different from the world they live in. I at times play games for both of these reasons, but other times there is just that simple unmatchable satifaction that they give us, like classic arcade games or more modern mobile experience and no other games recentlly have made me feel more satisfied by throwing hours away then the Olli Olli games.

Im eighteen years of age, the first gaming experiences of my life were played on the GameBoy Advanced where the first two games I ever recieved were Rocket Power ( a licenced game based on the Nick cartoon), and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3. Both of these games instilled an lets say “academic” apperication of Skateboarding..

I love skateboarding as a subject and a culture but I don’t actually physically skate myself. But I love skating video games and the X-Games. The physics of these incredible tricks, the music and artistic style has drawn me in at an early age. Video games are the closest I can come to being on the board in a any satisfying faction.

I must of played hundreds of hours of the Skate 3 demo on PS3( I couldn’t afford the actual game) just to mess around with the physics and land sweet tricks and find the coolest ways to combo tricks and land sick moves. Whilst some people found this way of controlling wierd and maybe to reminicent of actual skateboarding in contrast to the arcadey tightness of the Tony Hawk series on PS1 and PS2. But I absolutely loved it. The difficulty and physical manipulation of the skateboard as a seperate object is my favorite part of the sport. 

So when I came to Olli Olli a game for which I had heard similar complaints to those thrown at Skate then I knew I had to check it out. 

The first thing to hit you from Olli Olli is the style. You inmediatly get the impression that the folks at Roll7 are as big a fan of the subjects as you. The artstyles simplicity and tight lines makes it pleasing to the peepers but also facilitates the gameplay so everything is clear. 

It isn’t perfect though as there are sometimes problems with being able to identify grindable surfaces from regular ground especially in the second game as the environment have a greater degree of variation and scope. 

The music is good in that you don’t mind listening to it while you sink hours and hours into perfecting your runs but it isn’t particularly memorable in the way that those old Tony Hawk games were.

Oh but those runs. The simple elegance if nailing grinds to manuals, to nose manuals, to an occasional revert whilst hitting every spot and rails and score boost. Its euphoric to a style and elegance obssesed nut like myself and no other game I’ve played recently.

People could learn lessons about how to engage and satisfy player. From the quick restarts so you don’t waste your time on bad runs or the way that objective can be accompished in unfinished runs so that completing them can be satisfying and limit your frustration. 

I love Olli Olli and I make no bones about it. This is one of those games that you feel was crafted by the gods especially for you and what you love in games. I could play a millions of these and never get tired.
