I guess I'll comment first, but I have to say the Deserted Island is my favorite environment in the third generation and currently in all of MH. It just feels so vibrant and full of life that previous generation areas just didn't give off in my opinion. The diversity of creatures that can be found living here is just downright fantastic. On one quest you're fighting a Lagiacrus and on the next you're either fighting a Brachydios or Diablos. The Deserted Island is by far an amazing environment and I hope that MH4's environments can rival or even surpass it in design and diversity of creatures.
