Dont buy PSP because of sims 2 castaway. I hope next sims dont show that EA is LOST. Most likely ran out of ideas!!
I dont know how to review this game, because theres not much to review. Your sims, will be on boat which breaks down because of the storm, then you find yourself on a abondened Island, sort of abondened, because theres monkeys, FUN. You will collect certain things to build new stuff. such as bamboo, vines and palm fronds to create different objects.However, you can't simply make things at will - you'll need to acquire plans for different items based upon the resources you gain and the skill that you have.There are fifteen separate categories that you can build items from, ranging from tools and clothing to furniture and building walls. And ofcourse you got a take care of your sim. Sims can also take some time and befriend chimps that live on the island, who they can use as additional gatherers of resources on the island. Theres so many loading times which dosent seem just right. Visual are grainy and generic. Animation is still good.
Really if you want sims 2 castaway so badly, then you probably want to stick with other platforms.
You are wondering why i talked so much about Sims 3? Theres a very good reason, because the all series, the sims itself is getting very old by now, every sims which comes out looks very tired. its like been here done that. It needs upgrades, but not some simple expansion packs, more likely the whole Sims. New, refreshed, upgraded version, big bang, with lots, lots of stuff to do, driving with car from one location to another, buy car, taking care of pets, who gets older and older and then finally die, robbing banks, they can actually go to work, and accomplish stuff, they get sick/ill, holidays, for example santa comes to visit, more free time like things, disneyland like stuff, the seasons needs to be changeing, complately new whether system, new social system, they are ageing to the point where they die, you can more easily kill them etc etc, I hope that EA nows that.
