About this product

Product Information

The Sims franchise embarks on an island-themed adventure with The Sims 2: Castaway. Players can create one to six characters, customizing their appearance, personality type, occupation, and more before setting sail, getting caught in a storm, and becoming shipwrecked on an uncharted island. After awakening on a deserted beach, your character (or party) must attempt to survive and eventually explore three adjacent islands. Specific goals to complete are documented in books strewn across beaches, jungles, caves, mountains, and other areas. Tasks range from making fires and acquiring tools to building structures and finding lost treasure. <br><br>Along the way characters will learn new skills and gradually change in appearance. If not properly cared for, characters can lose weight, wear out clothes, grow scraggly beards, and more. While the bulk of play involves gathering resources needed for survival, including fruits, shells, plants, wood, chickens, and other items, characters are encouraged to learn more about the islands and their inhabitants by venturing out into the unknown. Dangers include wild pigs, storms, starvation, and other surprises. Offering a more open-ended design than in previous Sims games on consoles, Castaway grants players the freedom to either live on the island or to escape to the familiarity and comforts of modern civilization.

Item arrived quickly and as described. It functions perfectly and was not damaged in transit despite the poor packaging of the item. I was honestly a little annoyed to have paid $5 for shipping on a $2 stamp, but it’s still a decent total price and made for an excellent gift. Don’t take my comments negatively; I would buy from this seller again and do recommend others consider this seller as well!

I use a shipping rate for Canada which is the same price no matter which game you buy. The Nintendo DS game that you bought happens to be extremely light.For 95%+ of the games, the shipping price makes sense.However, some games are heavier and some games are lighter than the average - so there is an aspect of fluctuation that I account for. But you're right about the total price, that's what matters, I also currently have "Best Offer" on - so you can always make an offer to get a better price.

One of my favorites
Sims 2 Castaway is, in my opinion, one of the best Sims games made. I enjoy building shelters, harvesting and foraging for food and materials, fishing, exploring all the different islands, and making friendships with the monkeys. It's definitely one of my favorite go-to games when I just want to relax for a while.

Great game didn’t age well though!
Graphics are very poor even for a late PS2 game release but what do you expect from a 13 year old game.

Playstation 2 "The Sims 2: Castaway" Game
I bought this game because both the wife and I enjoyed the other similar games like Sims & Sims 2. Game play was similar to Sims 2, including creation of the sims I wanted to include on my island. After creation of 2 sims like myself and my wife, they were placed on the island to fend for themselves. The tutorial advised alot but as soon as my sims has more needs that I had to take care of, the game was more a matter of either having my sim eat or sleep most of the time rather then performing other functions. Then came friendships which since I was pretty much alone, it was a matter of conversing with monkeys which was rather boring. The tasks that needed to be completed where quite easy once I got the hang of the needs and how to perform the main functions. Completing certain tasks opened ...

The tasks that needed to be completed where quite easy once I got the hang of the needs and how to perform the main functions. Completing certain tasks opened up new tasks to be performed. I did not like that my rescue was solved quickly in the game where I decided to stay on the island and continue playing. I was expecting the tasks to be harder or more problematic to solve rather then pretty much being pointed in the right direction. Before long, keeping my sim happy and solving boring tasks just made the game boring and predictable. The game graphics and overall plot to the game was nicely done and game play was quite easy if someone had already played sims 2 as I had done. I give this game a good overall rating but the makers could of probably done alot better with harder tasks and more gameplay.

JP's Review of The Sims 2: Castaway (for Playstation 2)
Like many games, this one has advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, the game's character(s) have nothing but time. There is no hurry to anything I've played in it yet. However, unlike most games, the problems you encounter in Castaway are the same as real life- basically trying to find food, clothing, and shelter. Even bathing is important in this game! At this time, I have not completed the game, and I have only played in single player mode. From that perspective, I have found Castaway interesting and fun, but very time consuming. I've noticed the game is designed to make a player backtrack for items needed to get a higher level (like many games), but moving between previous levels /screens sometimes takes 10-30 seconds(?). While I know it is simply the technology in the ... Like many games, this one has advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, the game's character(s) have nothing but time. There is no hurry to anything I've played in it yet. However, unlike most games, the problems you encounter in Castaway are the same as real life- basically trying to find food, clothing, and shelter. Even bathing is important in this game! At this time, I have not completed the game, and I have only played in single player mode. From that perspective, I have found Castaway interesting and fun, but very time consuming. I've noticed the game is designed to make a player backtrack for items needed to get a higher level (like many games), but moving between previous levels /screens sometimes takes 10-30 seconds(?). While I know it is simply the technology in the P2, it can be frustrating. Please Note: From my understanding of playing in multi-player mode, more "work" gets done in a shorter time frame, bc of the multiple players, so that may make the game go faster. As well, in single player mode, your character has no-one to talk to but monkeys in the jungles, so you never hear words in the games audio, only caveman-ish grunts. Again, maybe diff in multi-player mode(?), but kinda boring. As a player proceeds through the game, more options "open up" for the player, allowing them to do different things(again, similiar to most games). In this game, those options are usually regarding food, clothing, and shelter, so there is a feeling of independence and accomplishment that is more realistic than "slaying the dragon,", or at least in single player mode. One drawback I have is; Unlike the ORIGINAL sim city- where you could delete /remove a mistake(something you built)[usually for a fee/penalty], and then build what you wanted (upgrades), I have not found anything in Castaway that allows this. Ex/ TIP: If you don't like a hut you've built, you cant remove it- you can only wait for the weather/rain to destroy it. And I recomend you Don't build the basic emergency firepit. Just go straight to building one of the better ones, or you'll end up having two (or three) firepits bc you cant just upgrade the first one. All in all, this is not a bad game. It has it's advantages and disadvantages, and in cost comparison, the {approx} $25.00 you'll pay will last a LOT longer in Castaway than a couple hours of Chucky Cheese or Dave& Busters. I hope this was helpful. Happy gaming!

the sims 2 castaway
This game is a very fun game to play! The game is about survival. Can your sim survive by him/her self? If not, you can always start off the game with a crew. Be careful though, as your crew might abandon each other and join seperate crews! The nice thing about having a crew is having all of the strengths that you will need to get off the island and finally have a hot shower! If you decide to play it by yourself without a crew, you can still make some friends (your in the jungle)! Be careful though as some animals may not take a liking of you on their island! Have fun playing this game as I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, only because the graphics get slow at some points in the game.
