Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: With still not a peep out of The Sims 3 on PC, Electronic Arts are certainly keen to keep reinventing the franchise on consoles. This all new game is not for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and, as you might guess from the name, involves you being shipwrecked on a desert island. The concept is basically the same as Konami’s Stranded Kids/Lost in Blue series although you start off completely alone with each of the different sims you create washed up on a different part of the island. Obviously your first task is to find something to eat and drink and a place to sleep, with the initial parts of the game recalling the early episodes of Lost (except without the smoke monster). Soon enough you’re fashioning fish harpooning spears out of bits of bamboo, planting edible plants, weaving your own clothes and making giant tree houses and huts that would shame the average holiday camp. Most importantly you can train your very own monkey butlers to perform your every menial task for you (up to a point). Soon enough your fellow strandees turn up and the game’s more traditional social elements come into play as it becomes less Lost and more Survivor. Once you’re living in some degree of comfort you can then venture out and explore the island and try and find a way back to civilisation (or stay where you are – the game leaves it up to you). In fact it’s probably the most interesting thing to happen to The Sims in years. Harrison Dent Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Hard to explain...This game has many pros, but also some cons and its difficult to explain all of them. But the main disappointment of this game is that i did get bored of it after the first 2 weeks of having it, and this is why - it is a bit slow. Changing from one area of the island to another is frustrating because it takes so long, and you have to go in the jungle alot to collect things. Also, mine did freeze once and i had to quit and loose everything! However, and please do read on - there is no other game out there like this. I watch Shipwrecked and then play this and it is even more realistic than the show itself! It is also easier to play your sims - they dont get tired too quickly, and their needs are generally easier to fulfill than in the normal ...

I have the first Sims on the PC but this game is far far better. It's gameplay is just great, the way even mundane things become important, like where and what to eat. having to make your own home from materials you find, crafting clothes to replace the ones you've lost, and as you play the game you start to wonder what Chimp would taste like they become so annoying. I recomend any Lost fans, sims fans or anyone wishing to play a game that involves thinging instead if frantic button pushing. A great game, I still have no idea whant I'm doing but a great game none the less. Rating: - HOW TO SOLVE THE CRASHING PROBLEMI 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. Rating:  - Frustrating!I was really enjoying playing this game and had about 3 hours playing time under my belt when my PSP started crashing. Now, like Thomas I cannot load my saved game. If I start a new game it lasts about 20 mins before crashing. Aaaaargh! Rating:  - Another Sims adventureThis new adventure follows the same tried and tested format as the others: exploring, keeping Sims happy, completing their goals, etc. If you love Sims you'll love this too. The plus points are: - A fresh new adventure to explore - You can control different Sims within the adventure (up to six can be set at the start) - You can save progress at any time, so it's ideally suited to the PSP if you've only got 10 minutes to kill - It's as entertaining and absorbing as always The minus points are: - The graphics - whilst they're cute and detailed, a lot more care could've been put into them. You often find yourself climbing up invisible trees or disappearing off screen while harvesting. ... Read More: |
