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 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

I bought this game as I was a massive Sims fan when I had my PS2 but I was quite dissapointed. The graphics are quite good, average for the Wii I would say. When you first start playing the game it is quite exciting as you have to build a shelter, make a fire, wash in the sea, all the basic things for survival really. In order to build certain items you need to collect wood, vines etc from the jungle. You also collect all the food you need from the jungle. Your clothes start to get a bit 'scraggy' after a while so you even have to make new items of clothing! Your best friends are the monkeys who you can make friends with and send off on errands for ...  Read the complete review

The views of my 12 year old, better qualified to review this Wii game than me having played this and many other Wii game son other formats, namely DS and PS2. "In the game Sims Castaway the story is that you are a tourist who adventures on his boat, but gets shipwrecked. Your character ends up washed up on a beach and you have to help him live, make friends, and escape the island. The good points of this game are that you can talk to the wildlife such as monkeys and parrots. Also, you can interact with items such as trees, fruit, wood and treasures like gold, hieroglyphics and clam pearls. The not so good points of the game are that you cannot speed the game up  Read the complete review
