First Impression?
This little robo-bro looks seriously cool - love the Darkside colour scheme! Get ready for some extreme adventures, bud!
Coolest Feature?
It's a tie between being able to attach or remove hubcaps and drift wheels, and getting to name your Ollie whatever you want.
What We Like...
Learning new tricks and seeing our Ollie do extreme stunts! We're a big fan of the long Crazy Ollie move, and speeding off a ramp is great. You can also customise the LED colours - we were big fans of the flashing blue, red and white. The Darkside Ollie is like hanging out with a party robot!
What We'd Change...
We'd make the manual mention checking out the Help section on the app. We didn't see it at first, which led to accidentally hilare moves as we tried to guess combos. Once we hit the Help icon, we learned all the official combos for spin, ollie, switch and grab tricks!
Rating: 4.5/5 stars!!
