Customer Reviews

Super Fun!
This is the best console game featuring the Sims that has ever been produced! There, I said it and I'm glad. Not that it was hard for EA Games to beat any of the previous offerings. Bustin' Out was good, but there really is no comparison.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the controls rather intuitive, after a short while. The game play is not too difficult, especially if you are a "Simmer". The usual needs must be met; hunger, social, energy, bathroom. The adventure aspect is what sets this game apart. You literally are on your own to survive or not. No phones, no lights, no motor cars. Good luck!

It's so much fun that my spouse is even playing! And he is not a "Simmer". It's hard to put the game down. Highly recommended.

Extremely fun to play, but load times stagnant a bit...
As I am already a fan of SIMS 2, Castaway really puts a new twist on my favorite game. I really love having goals and missions to accomplish and new territory to discover. The only negative is the sleeping, it can go a bit faster considering you can start a fire and cook in mere seconds. We shouldnt have to wait in real time for what we know takes forever. Also, after the game gets heated up a bit some technical goofy stuff starts happening. I lost my character behind a rock and she was trapped there until I turned off the the game and powered down my PSP for a time. Other than that I really like seeking out new resources and fishing is one of my favorite activities. I dont necessarily like the houses because there is no cutaway and you lose your character inside a house if you dont memorize the doors. All in all, I would say this is one of the most enjoyable games on my PSP.

GAME IS NOT FAULTY: UPDATE TO 3.80!
"HOW TO SOLVE THE CRASHING PROBLEM
I understand that most people are finding that this game constantly CRASHES. Meaning you have to save every ten minutes to stop from having to start all over again.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS UPDATE YOUR PSP FIRMWARE TO THE NEW 3.80 VERSION AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY.

Please spread the word, this is such an awesome game and needs it's full potential! I was going to return my copy until I found this out. I'm afraid everyone thinks this game is glitchy."
