CGOnline has popeed up a review of Evil Islands - their final score is less than lukewarm though:Evil Islands does use a good-looking graphics engine to occasionally good effect. The third island's desert cities are particularly impressive. In addition to the usual orcs, dragons, and undead, Nival has thrown in a few strange twists such as woodfolk who look like X-Com aliens and an Aztec priest from out of nowhere. But these funky touches are small consolation when you're stuck trying to sneak past a troll for the tenth time. In the end, the thing you remember most isn't the graphics engine, the nifty spell and item construction, or even the awful voice acting; it's the frustration of slogging through a poorly balanced game that substitutes saving and reloading for gameplay.
