Video Game Reviews of The Sims Castaway Stories
Customer Review: Great if you're new to The Sims 2, but I'm not
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this game even though I own The Sims 2 and all of its expansion packs (to date). Love the main sims 2.... The Sims Castaway Stories needs some work. Didn't buy the other 2 sims stories (life/pets) games because I thought they could only be redundant, but I thought castaway stories would be a good change of pace. As far as the free play mode is concerned, it is the same as the sims 2, but the story mode is just boring to me... it takes away from the fun of "create your own story" mode that is The Sims 2 franchise. I haven't gotten all the way through the story and I'm sure it will pick up, but whether it does or not really doesn't interest me whatsoever. I rather free play, and I haven't exactly done that yet so I don't know how it would be to raise a family on the island. Maybe freeplay mode for me will make up for the lame story mode, which seemed more like an extended tutorial than anything else. I give it 3 stars because free play mode will probably make up for the story mode, and the fact that is does take much less time to load on my laptop than the core game does with all its expansion packs.Customer Review: Could have been better!
Summary: 2 Stars
This game was fun to play the first time around. However the second time around when I realized there was only one story line, I was disappointed. I thought there would be at least two, to keep you from getting bored with the game. Maybe they should make a Castaways 2, one that is a sort of expansion on what we already have. And I was sooooo excited about it!

Are you a die hard SIMS fan? We are here at my house. Not a tile comes out that we don't have.
We were waiting for Castaway Stories because it's so different from the other SIMS games. This game is FANTASTIC!!! There are palm trees, beaches, monkeys, coconuts, bananas, you can swim, you can dig for treasure on the beach, you build things, you get to spear fish (ok so you might not like spear fishing but it's cool to watch the SIMS do it), there's a jungle, there are ancient ruins to explore and even a native or 2 to make friends with, or marry!!! This game is graphically amazing!
Castaway Stories is a simply, a MUST, for the SIMS fanatic!
Customer Review: New & Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the wii version of this game for my brother and began looking for a PC version. Being an avid player of SIMS2 I was weary of trying SIMS Stories, but it turned out very well.
What's the difference between the wii and PC version? The wii game has a game version only, while the PC version has two ways of playing. The wii version is more of a challenge as far as difficulty of play. The PC version is more guided, yet still entertaining. In the wii version you get to pick your whole crew, find them during the game and you can switch which player you are. In the PC version, when you play the game, you pick your character and the rest are automatically put in the game, you can only play yourself unless you adopt or marry another character from the game. After playing the PC version all the way through, you will most likely never play again as it is more or less the same each time.
On the PC version you also have the choice of playing like you would in any other SIMS game and selecting a tropical lot to live on, then building, buying, working and interacting with the locals.
