The Sims 2: Castaway

This game is great fun. you create your shipwreck crew who talk in jibber jabber. Great watching them befriend chimps on the island and chatting with them.
This game is a pc port not much update on the graphics which do the job. plenty to keep you busy if you like sim games. collect wood and food, investigate the islands and build all manner of things, from tools to homes to entertainment items to keep your camp happy.
You need to do a lot of exploration to find and make your shipwrecked mates join your camp.
You have to keep an eye on all your attributes.....health, happiness, cleanliness, toilet and food.
Catch and find all sorts of food and create recipes to feed your camp.
Great fun as i have never played a sim game before.
Wii controls are the basic point and click and work very well.
This is a game you can come back to day or week after week to keep your camp together or find a way off the island.

If you crave after the 8bit days of the master system and nes, then this game is for you! Now the Wii may not have the best graphics around(after all this is not what it is about) but come on there are more blocks here than tetris! A complicated interface and tedious plot (Lost anyone!) makes this one not to be remembered and as for EA and the Sims is this not a time to let go of this genre and move on to something else. Positve points are all Play.coms (speedy delivery and great pricing) Sorry but this is POOR! EA hang your heads in shame, now Mario Galaxy that is what your Nintendo Wii is for!

i loved all of the sims and sims 2 games for the pc... but after months of playing them they do get a bit repetative and i hope it wont happen with this game as you do progress through the game. your sims have to get more skill points in order to travell to different islands and they hav to get creative in order to make different clothes.
there are a few little things which get a bit annoying such as the need for music...my sims end up blowing into some shell every 10 minutes as they are desperate for some entertainment.... i'm also finding it more difficult to form relationships with my crewe members as they keep walking off to play with monkeys....but there are so many good point which simply over power the annoying points. loading time is much much faster than on the pc... on the pc i don't even dare to go on dates downtown as it will take my pc about 20 minutes to load downtown. the average loading time on the wii being about 5 seconds.
oh yea if anyone finds out how to create workbenches so that you don't have to keep travelling back to the first island to craft ropes etc. please write it in a review thanks.
this game is also ideal if you have 20 minutes spar before school or work as you can just craft some items or form relationships press save and leave. other games with more plot can't really just be played for a few minutes. another thing i've noticed is that it doesn't make good use of the wii remote....but that may change later on when you try to leave the island i don't know.

I really enjoyed playing this game, it is the best sims game on the wii out there, loved it

I absolutley love this game, can't keep off of it.
The idea is great and it's lots of fun to play. It's not quite as straight forward as My Sims so it's great for the slightly older gamer.
I also plan on buying this game for the DS.
Without a doubt one of the best Sims games that i have played.
