Because that's when OlliOlli 2 starts demanding that its levels be beaten in one unbroken, minute-long combo, without screwing up a single time. I suspect many players - even some who are super prideful/super dedicated - will shut down the application and mercifully click 'delete' somewhere around the third or fourth world.

I have to imagine that most people downloading the game this month (while it's still free via Sony's PlayStation Plus program) will never reach that point of nirvana, where your brain's autopilot activates, and all of your thoughts become clouded, as your hands subconsciously respond to the blurry, neon-tinted road ahead. Notice yellow traffic cone, flick joystick to leap over. See blue ledge, queue command for manual. Instead, Roll7's latest take on skateboarding is a contest of muscle memory and object recognition. There's simply no time for strategizing when the screen is scrolling this fast. If a thumb slips, or a finger stalls, then it's time to hit Triangle, let loose an exasperated sigh/swear, and try 'once again, from the top.' Unlike in actual skateboarding, success in OlliOlli 2 won't come from studying the path in front of you and plotting a winning course. That punishment painfully repeats, any time that your hands betray your training. If your eyes stop to blink, or your brain begins to think, then your nameless skater is bound to become a broken, bloody mess, littering the bottom of the screen, with his gray sneakers hanging over his head like a scorpion's tail. That's enough speed and intricacy to make even Yngwie Malmsteen jealous. In the minute (or less) that it takes to finish a typical OlliOlli 2 track, your controller will have registered around 100 to 200 button presses, with only a split-second elapsing between each input. I'm talking about a rapid-fire eruption of notes, like you'd hear from Eddie Van Halen or DragonForce. And I don't mean one of those sappy Creed or Godsmack solos, where the guitarist slowly bends a handful of sustained notes with his wah pedal or his whammy bar.

Stomping out a clean, mistake-free run stimulates your brain cells, and injects a feeling of triumph into your bloodstream, similar to nailing a series of challenging guitar licks in a single take. Players with enough patience and persistence to endure OlliOlli 2's grueling growing pains will - with practice - stop smashing their pixelized face against the pavement, and start discovering what makes this series so rewarding and addicting. Misjudging the final jump in a hundred-move combo can drop your total by several million points, just as clumsy fingering might make an impressive sequence of sweep-picking and two-handed tapping sound like unrecognizable slop. But as in the first OlliOlli, pixel-perfect timing is still the most valuable skill for scoring big. The sequel's expanded skating mechanics allow for more creativity and flexibility in how gamers achieve the seven-digit sums that are required to complete all 50 Career mode courses.

New techniques like grind switches, reverts, and manuals have significantly altered how OlliOlli 2 must be played, if users still want to make chart-topping music from the familiar 'Tricktionary' of flips, spins, and slides.
