Last year's skateboarding sensation, OlliOlli, just lost its spot atop the podium, and stepped down to the silver medal in Sony's ongoing competition for the title of “most difficult game” on the PlayStation Network.

Developer Roll7's award-winning rookie run left a lasting imprint upon many gamers' thumbs during 2014. And if the original OlliOlli's blistering gameplay was the equivalent of slamming out speedy guitar rhythms on the bottom four strings for an angry thrash band, then executing OlliOlli 2's amped-up repertoire of tricks feels like playing lead guitar for a prog supergroup on a double-neck Stratocaster using two separate tunings.

I'm really excited to try this game. Just DL'd it last night and I'm itching to get some time in. In fairness, I've read a few reviews now and this is the first one to label the difficulty as a con. Peter up Sally, practice makes perfect.

Fun game to play on the Vita.

I don't see how this is better than Super Mega Baseball, like some people were saying. Just my opinion though.

Glad to get another game perfect for my Vita...need some practice but looks challenging and fun.

Upon further review, this game is tits. You know it's good when I can replay the same level for a half hour and it still pains me to turn it off. It's simple, yet deep, and primitive, yet beautiful. And it has probably the fastest restart option I've ever seen, which is absolutely crucial for a game like this.

Can't wait to get back at it and work on my revert manuals some more! I can see the light at the end of the "Amateur' tunnel baby, woooooooo!

I kinda don't like 2 things although i like the game.

1 the controls. Id rather use the buttons to make moves rather than a clunky stick.

2 once you fall off the skateboard once you have to start all the way over again.

Other than that i like it.
