    Although skeptical at first, I was slowly won over by the gameplay in The Sims 2: Castaway. The goal-oriented structure helps maintain the momentum of an otherwise open-ended situation.

    The Sims 2: Castaway might have a few issues, but it's the most enjoyable console entry for the franchise thus far.

    Once all of your goals are completed, you get a feeling of accomplishment, but lose some of the replayablity of other Sims games - you've seen one uncharted island, you've seen 'em all - and the thought of having to harvest all those vines, chop wood, find berries, pick leaves, catch fish, light fires, build furniture, find shelter and identify plants might not sound appealing.

    Love this game better than any sims series. I wish there was a Sims 3: Castaway. If there is I will be happy. I like it because it is more adventurous than any sims series out there. All of the sims series, you are cooped in a house and can only see your neighbors but it this game you will see mountains and befriend chimps.… Expand

    I personally thought it was quite dull and boring, the graphics are nothing special and the gameplay is very slow. It also takes ages to load especially loading a saved game sometimes it just freezes and it isnt my psp as my psp works with all my other games. It is not the best sims game out there and i was quite disappointed with it especially with all the build up of how good it was meant to be.… Expand
