I wasnt sure if id enjoy the game when i first started since im normally not much of a high score chaser, and the controls seemed a bit awkward at first, especially with how many moves there are. After fumbling around for awhile it started to click and i had a fun time going through all the levels. I did often get buttons mixed up because of the different inputs you have to do in quick succesion, but i think that was more of a me problem. The challenges given to you on each level were a good motivator to get me to play better, besides just a higher score.
OlliOlli 2 builds upon the first game, allowing you to do manuals between grinds to continue your combos for longer, which adds a lot more depth to the game without over complicating it. The hollywood theme of the game allows it to go through a variety of locations with vastly different looks. I felt like the level design got more difficult compared to the first game, which works really well with these games being bundles together.
Just for OlliOlli haven't started the second yet. This double pack was $4.50 on sale which feels absolutely illegal.
The earlier games have some gameplay differences that are much less forgiving on the player. Unless you're looking for a hardcore challenge, there's really no reason to go back to these. OlliOlli World is a much better game.
