Great addition to all the Sims products. The graphics are good. There are lots of interesting things to do and build in the game. The only part of it that I don't like is that it is so limited in what you can build on the island. If you want something new you often have to destroy what you already have to make space for it. Kind of frustrating at times because of that. And I am disappointed that it is only single player and only have one save file. It would be nice to be able to play against others, either on the same console or on the internet. It will suck you in and before you know it hours and hours will have passed.
What's great about it: graphics are good
What's not so great: only one save file, single player only
I would recommend this to a friend!

I normally purchase games for my PC but after reading reviews I discovered that there were some differences between the PC version and Wii version. Most reviews favored the Wii version so I purchased it instead. The game is really fun and having to accomplish goals to get off the island makes it even more entertaining. I think just about anyone could get used to the game controls but I am a diehard mouse guy and can't stand console game controllers. The Sims games are so much easier when using a mouse. Also, I know of only one way to save more than one game. That is for each person who plays Sims2 Castaway to have their very own memory card, otherwise it's totally a one person game that nobody else can play because if they do, your saved game gets erased. The game save and controller issue is the only reason I don't give it 5 stars.
What's great about it: Not a large learning curve if you've never played a Sims2 game.
What's not so great: Trying to control a Sim with a game controller is frustrating.

PC vs. Wii
December 4, 2011
This comment surprised me a lot because I have both wii and PC and as much as I love wii, it does not compare to the PC. I don't have the best computer-it wont support sims 3 or spore, so i was happy to find a sims 3 game for wii. I went out and bought it the day after it came out for fifty dollars and played it with my best friend for hours. At first, it was great.... but eventually things kinda fall apart. FIrst off, you see people begin to die as ur life runs out until it seems like there isn't anybody alive that you had not created. The PC has all of these little things included that just don't make it into the cut of wii (like the color scheme) and as much as I play it, I'll never finish a game because I always start over.... which is annoying. Three slots for saving games? Makes me remember my Xbox fondly. Sims 2 on the xbox is much better even if you cant do things like fish or move around freely. Sims 3 on the wii also makes me kinda angry because you cannot build ur own house. you have to go with a premade one (even if there are about twenty to choose from)....
However, I have seen on the internet that this is on sale for 2.99 at best buy and I intend to buy it asap... once morning comes.

I LOVE THIS GAME!! I have played several Sims games on the Playstation and Xbox and was not very fond of them. This i probably the first Sims game off the PC that I have ever enjoyed. This gets a A+++++
What's great about it: Great interface
What's not so great: The controls take a little while to learn

I love all of The Sims games and this one did not let me down. You still get all the creativity options and still have to build your skills up which sometimes can be hard when you just want to find different items around the island. I was scared that when I moved on to another chapter of the game that I would reach the end thus ending my game but it kept going which I was very happy about. I loved finding different items and treasures and you'll love the chimps! This is good for all Sims enthusiasts of all ages. You don't have to worry about letting your teen play this game!
What's great about it: You get to create your character and your castmates, you get to create your own shelters with primitive items!
What's not so great: Just when you get into finding more items and building you get tired.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It was a fun game, but I found out that you can end it before all of your goals are reached.
What's great about it: I've always loved Sims
What's not so great: It would be cool if it was a 2 player...
