Players are forced to start with one crew member only, trying at the same time to survive, find their friends and escape the islands. The group is out on a boat trip when a sudden storm separates its members, stranding them on the shores of three small islands. Spoofing every possible island-related theme, from crashed airplanes to ancient temples full of secrets, Castaway delivers a fresh and entertaining Sims experience.Īt the beginning of the game, players can create up to six Sim characters, assigning them jobs such as ranger, mechanic, chef and doctor.
But even in the switch from comfortable houses to inhospitable beaches, it's managed to keep its usual humor and love for the surreal. The Sims series is now trying its hand at the desert island theme. Videogames, of course, are ready to follow the latest trend: Lost in Blue was the first example in this direction, even if it was criticized for its slowness and for the complete uselessness of its secondary character. Castaways on deserted islands have been popular since "Robinson Crusoe," but TV series such as "Gilligan's Island" and "Lost" have brought that theme to the forefront once more.
