Good question and I'll have to ponder it some more. I think that the Virtual Villagers games from Last Day of Work use perspective very effectively. The overview is probably considered isometric (I don't know my terminology 100%... sorry!), but then you can click in for the "up close and personal view." I also find it very easy to navigate through the world in that interface. I'll keep thinking about it, though! Hey, guys! Good question and I’ll have to ponder it some more.

Isometric is a pain and limits your content to being created by (semi-)professional artists. Hence we went for the 'Theater' view in whirled -- side on, depth scaling, flip characters left and right (some of them have front and back, too). It works surprisingly well. Dizzywood.com is an interesting take on a Flash interface. Ahoy! Isometric is a pain and limits your content to being created by (semi-)professional artists.
