2 out of 5 stars Disapointing Sims Game   October 21, 2008

This game was not at all what it seemed to be. You can play only one story and once that has ended, you can only play it as any other Sim game. In addition, I've got a brand new Mac with tons of memory and well over what is required to play the game. However, the game is constantly freezing and the graphics are extremely poor. VERY Disapointed!! Don't waste your money.

this game is pretty cool. although it doesn't have some of the cheat codes available that The Sims 2 but its still pretty fun. The newer features like clothes, hair, head types to decor and furniture are all a nice touch. it runs well on my Macbook.

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!
