    I love survival stuff, whether it be movies, books and even games. I had high expectations going into this, but wow, I was let down. I have played many The Sims games, but this one was just too bland and difficult. Yes, games are supposed to be difficult, but the character gets too hungry or tired just walking from one side of the beach to the other. Dont even get me started on theI love survival stuff, whether it be movies, books and even games. I had high expectations going into this, but wow, I was let down.

You are on an island by yourself, use the d*mn bathroom. I did manage to play through this game, but I wish I could get that time back.… Expand

    I can't believe I bought this...I think the visuals are ugly, completely last gen, the sound is okay but in no way great, and the gameplay...is mostly boring. you just gather, gather, gather...and the zones arent big enough, too many load times...another unecessary sims game on the consoles. This series has seriously gone down the tank.

    The only thing I think the developers could have improved on would have been the diversity of the animals in which you hunt. They could have also added some island natives for you to interact with.

    Survive like Ray Mears while fretting over how good you look in a grass skirt. It's a whole news Sims experience. [Christmas 2007, p.50]

    In the end, Sims 2: Castaway is one of the more entertaining Sim titles to come out in a while and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a shot. It's certainly not a stereotypical Sim title and almost anyone can pick this game up and give it a whirl.
