This is what I've been waiting for.I'm a huge fan of the Sims.I had most of the original Sims and most of Sims2.I liked those games - for a while.After you've done all the new stuff and had a couple of kids, the fun just kind of died.I have always always said that if there were some sort of directed story to the Sims that I had to play out, I'd like that so much more.

When EA came out with the Sims Stories, I was excited because that had finally happened.The first 2 titles just didn't excite me much, so I passed.They announced Castaway and I couldn't wait.It was released first on platforms, but I *hate* Sims platform games.The graphics aren't as nice and the gameplay is always lacking.So, I waited for the PC version.

It's very fun and very *new* as far as Sims go.There are familiar elements, but also great new twists.I highly recommend this title to people who, like me, love the Sims but have lost interest over the years.It's totally renewed my Sims playing.

The *only* drawback, and it's kept me from playing all the way through, is loooooooooooooong load times.At first I thought it was my computer, but since I have a great graphics card and tons of memory and ram, I thought maybe it wasn't me after all.After a bit of searching, it seems that lots of people are frustrated with the long load times between scenes.It plays out basically as follows:Game loads, objective pointed out, load new scene for up to 5 minutes, play 30 seconds, then on to a new scene taking up to another 5 minutes.If I'd have known that before I originally posted my review, it would have gotten less stars.

Anyway, enjoy!
