    One of the easiest Sims to play with an interesting adventure game style. [Dec 2007, P.66]

    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.

    A brilliantly open-ended game that's as great to learn as it is to master. [Dec 2007, p.84]

    It may not be the best simulation ever or even in the series itself, but it makes for a rather lengthy adventure with plenty of charm.

    I do not have this game but I want to buy it because according to one of my friends it seems cool, she says and some of the comments seem quite good. The problem is in the official nintendo mag it says it is a rubbish game and it is the worst sim game ever but everybody has their own appiniouns so I think ill like it, who agrees??… Expand
