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.
