4 out of 5 stars Fun becomes Regular   July 29, 2008

First off, I am a huge fan of the Sims 2 Games, and own almost all the expansion packs.

When I first played the game, I didn't stop until I finished the Castaway Story completely through. I couldn't get enough. I then created my own characters to play the game through, hoping (maybe) that something may be different or that I would be faced with a different challenge... Although this game is incredibly fun and creative, I do with there were more story variations, or different characters to chose from who would then bring their own stories to the game.

Overall, a fun game, but I don't know how long it was meant to last...

I'm a huge Sims fan (1 and 2). I have all EPs available for Mac. I play Castaway on my laptop when I'm away from home and need a fix. The similarities to the original game are also slightly different, making Castaway feel familiar yet new at the same time: orangutans as pets, cooking on campfires, and other sim-items made from bamboo, etc. Big fan.

I thought the game was fun! I like the part that you can have more than one player. So if you want to make up a story but then want to do another one but don't want to screw up the first you can add a new player. That was helpful!
