Sims 2 Castaway is a fantastic game. Put it this way, I get the game, put it on and then realise 4 hours later at 2am that I really ought to get to bed! The whole concept is very refreshing and challenging without being frustratingly so.
Yes there are a couple of issues, the loading times can be annoying, but to be clear we are talking 10-20 seconds, not minutes, so its not that offputting and gives you a chance to slurp your tea. Exploring the islands is great fun, the other Sims are a little on the stroppy side which is surprising as you were on a boating holiday together.
Top tip - the chimps - you'll love them and if they love you they save you effort. You must find the plane's radio - not that it does much but watching the sims and the chimps dancing is worth the time.
In a word - excellent - enjoy!
 Great game but a very annoying glitch January 9, 2008

I love the game and it is addictive, I also found the loading a lot quicker than the other Sims games on PS2. However, I would say about halfway through the game I could no longer use the square button, the L2 button, or most importantly the start button, meaning that I could no pause or save or anything else, I lost plenty of play. I reset and even tried again another day, it started out fine, but then it happened again. If you don't save every five minutes you are likely to lose a lot of game play.

The game is started when you make a crew then you choose which sim you want to start off as, on the island you can make friends with monkeys. This might sound wierd but it makes your social bar go up. When your clothes go tatty you can make new clothes out of material e.g bamboo and vine. The game is very good, but it is harder to get your bars go up.
Good... But Not Great. December 31, 2007

The main plotline consists of a crew of sims who end up being stranded on a series of 3 desert islands. You have to bring the crew back together, learn how to survive and build a boat strong enough to get you home.
The survival aspect of the game is well thought out and the puzzles can be challenging but even though this is an improvement on the last game, the Sims 2 Pets, you can't help feeling it could have been so much better.
A few glitches in the game can be frustrating and the long loading times are very tiring but the game is still fun and is a welcome twist on The Sims Genre of game.
A good buy for any 'Sims' fan.
