There are worse things than washing ashore on a deserted island, after all. You could be stuck on a beach with a single coconut tree, just waiting for the next tropical storm to sweep you away. In The Sims™ 2 Castaway you at least have access to three large islands brimming with friendly chimps and mysterious artifacts, and more delicious fruits, vegetables, and spices than you would ever stock in your suburban kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Game Guide, December 3, 2007

I was very pleased to discover that this game guide to be very complete in its coverage of Sims 2 Castaway for the PS 2 and Wii[[ASIN:B00QAVV6Q Sims 2 Castaway]], as sometimes you buy a strategy guide expecting some answers to your questions and you are disapointed to find that the questions you wanted answers to were not addressed, well in this case I was certainly not at all disapointed.

This guide has tables of information for pretty much everything you need to know or would like to know, maps and detailed information on each area in the game.

Even after you have completed Sims 2 Castaway using this guide, you will still want to keep it for when you play the game again.

2.0 out of 5 stars ok, but be careful of the platform, February 18, 2008

This review is from: Sims 2 Castaway: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) (Prima Official Game Guides) (Paperback)

While the book was a very good read, it was useless to me as the web site never stated what platform the guide was for. I brought it for my DS game, and the guide only covered the PS2 and Wii versions. There is a VERY small spot actually on the picture of the guide itself (you have to enlarge the photo to see it clearly. The web page needs to clearly state what system the book is for. While it read very well, and IF I HAD the game, I'm sure it would be a great help, I gave the book to a friend. It was useless to me.

There's a lot of information in this book. I purchased it because I was stuck and unable to find additional areas, despite being sure I knew where they were located--I could "see" the area, but was unable to enter it. I am playing PSP, so the guide was not a perfect fit, but the only information I was able to find online in November 2007 pertained to the Nintendo DS, which is a different game. The downside to this book is that it not organized in what I would consider a logical manner, and I have had a tough time finding the tip I need when I need it. Overall, it has helped me progress a bit further, though.
