IGN: The Dog Island Review

If you would have told IGN that the gigantic casual push of Ubisoft titles would combine with the undeniably loveable nature of big-headed puppies to deliver a fresh and entertaining adventure/RPG for kids, they would have called you crazy. That is, if they didn't totally see this one coming a mile away. The Dog Island first started showing up on Japan videos nearly two years ago, as the developer Yukes has taken it upon itself to work on a sweet, lovable puppy RPG in between the flaming tables and barbed wire of its WWE fighting games. Oh it's a stretch – in fact, if IGN had to make a spectrum, they'd put Mankind thrown off a steel cage on the exact opposite side as a black labrador with spectacles – but the end result is an adventure 'slash' RPG experience that is light on story, but heavy on style.
