  Customize everything.
  
  I have played the game through twice now.
  I am only going to cover one part of the game as there are already about 20 other reviews for this great game.
  The best part of the game is the ability to customize your weapons, armor and even spells. This is probably the funnest part of the game. You can buy cheap stuff and upgrade it as you get more money or find better materials. If you want to make a fireball spell that hits more targets there is a rune for that, want it to do more damage, than there is a rune for that, want it to cost less magic points, yep, there is a rune for that. Also, you can add spells to your weapons and armor. So you can shoot that bow and arrow and have a fireball spell cast at the same time. Fun, fun and more fun. I only wish more games used this kind of strategy.

  Fully underrated . . .
  
  Evil Islands was developed by a russian developer, and the game did pretty well overseas, but it never really broke through in the U.S. due to a small time publisher, which is really a shame because the game is excellent.
  
  For an RPG to be outstanding, there needs to be a strong sense of character development and an intriguing story line to go with it. Evil Islands has both, and the graphics are fanstasic to boot. Literally, not until the very end do you figure out exactly what the story involves, and the surprise is like revelation - you'll feel you should have known the whole time. It takes somewhere around 80 hours of solo play to finish, so you've got plenty of missions and investigating before it's all over, and the seperate islands are like worlds themselves, so there's a variety of landscape.
  
  Overall, this game was a solid product that received no accolades in the american market, and will virtually go on to be forgotten, but if you come across a copy (I got mine on clearance for $5), buy it!

  Simply a terrific game
  
  The best since Daggerfall. You really have to BUILD your character and boy is it ever tough and involving. I had a friend that I gave this to, and he did not like it at first, but after he figured out what it took to develop his character, he was addicted-- he wound up playing the game all the way through about 4 times, each time improving on his abilities until he was godlike by the 4th time.

  Amazing game that deserved way better press than it got. And to think that Dungeon Seige gets a lot of WOWs...

  Ultimate Action
  
  Awesome 3-D battles and quests. This game combines all the elements of a great adventure. Begin in a small village and equip yourself with armor and tools for your adventures. Meet the villagers and recieve quests to perform for assorted rewards. Travel across the islands slaughtering monsters of all sorts. Use your spells or maybe just brute strength to overcome them. In short, this game rocks out loud.
