Fun, but requires concentration!
I really like this game, but to play it, you have to be committed. Just when you think you have a good handle on everything, the game throws a spanner in the works. It has the typical Sims style with a cool 'Lost on a desert island' theme. If you like Sims, your going to like this one! Rating:

A Wonderful Sims Game
As a long time fan of the sims series both on PC and Console, i must say that in my option The Sims 2 Castaway is the best of the console sims games. This game is similar to the other sims games in that you need to keep your sims needs up and make sure that they eat, sleep etc. however the great thing about this game is that it is so different from the other sims games both on the PC and Console. There is so much to do in this game that time flies. You could play this game for over 3 hours and not even realize it. One of the great things about this game is that your not stuck in a house going to work all the time. Instead your sim in on a island exploring, trying to find food, and build shelter. There is so much to do in this game and tons of items to collect (well resources). Even though I've done a lot in this game there is still a ton of other stuff that i haven't even tried yet. As with all the sims console games you have goals however the goals in Castaway are optional. As the game goes along you can unlock more stuff and discover more things. I give this game a 9.5/10.

Don't be fooled
I bought Sims 2 Castaway with my X-mas $ in January. I was so excited after reading all of these great reviews. After about a week I was bored of it and just started playing the old games again. Sims 2 Castaway is a good game until you acctually start playing it a lot. You have to keep all of your Sim's stats up AND make friends. This game makes it seem like YOU are stranded on the deserted island. You get so bored. You can only play pn it for about 15 or 20 minutes at a time or you'll see what I mean. Rating:

Totally Addictive!
I am totally addicted to this game. I play every evening and find something new to do every day! I think this game could go on for a long time and I really like that. It's not the same thing over and over like other games. You play and beat them once and you know what to do. Castaway can be whatever you make it! Rating:

Sims 2 Castaway-Nintendo Wii
This review comes from a 40+ female gamer. This game is awesome! Hours were lost, I nearly missed work due to not sleeping and I felt it was shades of Animal Crossing circa 2004. I liked that the Sims look real (not cartoon characters) and the gathering of food, supplies and hyroglyphic pieces keeps you deeply engrossed! It never seems like a good time to quit, as any Sim needs your attention at any time. Saving your game on the high volcano bluff got frustrating though. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or just the fact that I built my catamaran and can actually leave the Island life now.?.? I also noticed myself taking better care of my Sims than myself! I skipped meals, showers and sleeping in order to keep playing! My usual game choices would be anything Zelda, Mario, Sim City, Harvest Moon, Animal Crosssing. If you have any interest in these listed, you'll probably enjoy this strategy game. |
