The Sims 2: Castaway Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

The Sims Castaway Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!
