Well I must say the island looks GREAT!!! Yes the other islands wont be used in very often but this new island had they not upgraded the engine it still would be good, large towns, new concept in the game, and the landscape. The islands aren't being upgraded because they dont want to its just a huge task like if you wrote a book on biblical kings and you were told to change it to a sci-fi love story it would be a huge task thats what these guys have to basically do.
Lets just enjoy the game and what a game it is
