5.0 out of 5 stars Sims Fun!, November 20, 2007

This review is from: The Sims 2: Castaway (Video Game)

This is the first Sims that I have bought for the Play Station 2. Our PC's can't hold anymore Sim expansions without over loading our computers. We are avid Sims players in our house and have loved the game since it first came out in the first format. We love Sims 2. The game play for the Play Station Platform is Fabulous. You can't go and create a new game for someone once you start though - you need separate memory cards. If someone comes a long and wants to play and create a new Sim, your old game will be erased - so make sure you get a card or two to go with it.

Game play is very cool. It's fun to explore the different areas of the island. You can build up your talents and inventory to be able to make rafts, shelters, and find new foods to cook over your fire. There are lots of things to unlock and lots of treasures to find. I love finding the message in a bottle.

If you create a crew, eventually you start to find your crew mates and that's cool too.

We got this for an early Christmas present to be able to play through the holidays and don't regret it! Super Fun - be prepared to loose a few hours with this enchanting game.

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Twist on a Classic Game, October 30, 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2: Castaway (Video Game)

I must admit this game is actually good. The onli problem I have is that it does not allow any others to join in, however you can create a crew of up to 6 people. The are various places to exlpore, new fashions to discover, and a journey to embark on. My favorite part is being able to make your clothes out of different tree leaves, vines, shells, and flowers. You can even create your own dye. Another fun part is going around "identifying" plants and trees. So far I have collected mangoes, blackberries, pineapples, starfruit, and a bunch of other items too. You can even get to build a sandbuddy to talk to to increase the stauts of your social bar, and if thats not good enuff why not talk to a monkey. But there is one thing that scares me, theres always this red parrot watching me while i sleep. lol CREEPY!

I highly reccommend this game. I evn got a migraine from playing it 3 days straight. Well I dont wanna give to much away, buy it and see for yourself, if you loved the classic Sims, you'll definatley enjoy this one.

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2: Castaway (Video Game)

this is an excellent sims game (and I am amazed I am saying this) most of the sims games have not enthused me with their gameplay

however we have a whole new game here and I have to say it's fun, it's a blast to play (although the repeated monkey hugging is a little....Odd) you can cusomize just about everything on your sim from glasses and watches to clothing, pants, shirt, and shoes. it is quite impressive but more impressive is how the game comes together and delivers a very fun experience.

Truly it's a blast when you Finally build your dwelling and have your fire going and truly anything can happen

(my 1st time in my sim caused a fire and after his bed burned up he went quite mad and would not listen it was hilarious!)

this is a game like simcity that I am sure many others will return to over and over.

Graphics: very good 4 stars

Sound: excellent 5 stars

gameplay: A Blast 5 stars!

Overall 5 stars because this is a brilliant game that anyone be they a fan or newcomer to the series can get into with a simple learning curve for non sims players entering for the first time. and more then enough for veterans of the series. truly a fun game.
