I bought this game for the bargain price of £9.98 from Amazon a few weeks ago. Be warned that this price does fluctuate but you can still expect to find it for around £20 in most places. Sims Castaway is a spin off from the Sims games. This isn't an add on but a game in its own right. I have played this on other formats so I knew I was going to enjoy it on the wii. ** Starting off ** As you start the game you have to choose you characters to play with. The Sims will have to be created by yourself and you can change their features and clothing until you are happy with your character. The same as other sim games you can create more than one ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a big fan of the Sims and when I read about this version being available for the Wii, I counted down the days until it was released. Okay, the Wii isn't known for it's breathtaking graphics, but it does the job more than sufficiently for this game. The front cover on the game case is a good representation (although a bit more polished) of the characters and background style. It does state an age of 12+, I would say this is more to do with being able to follow the storyline and working the controls as there really isn't anything too risque in the game! The most difficult thing with trying to review this game, is not to give too ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of all the Sims games and have played it on several formats. I thought that the Nintendo Wii would bring something different than the others formats as you can interact using your wii remotes. Instantly the graphics and quality of the game is apparent as it so not as good as the other formats (PC, XBOX etc) but this did not put me off. It was persumed that this would be the case but it was not the worse graphics that I have came across. The game starts with yourself having to make up your family. There isn't as many items to pick from, unlike the PC format, however you will find that you will not need these small details (Clothes and ...  Read the complete review

I'm a fan of The Sims 2 games on the PC, but never really enjoyed all the console versions they've brought out, they're usually terrible and not very good. This time however they have hit the nail on the head! It's really like pretending to be in the cast of Lost... except instead of strange monster in the forest... you're befriending the chimps! You start off shipwrecked and eating coconuts, then you're building huts, clothes, rafts, rope bridges and laughing as your sim attempts to fish with a spear (and usually failing miserably!). You then have to find your other crew members and get to the other small islands and there are lots of different ...  Read the complete review
