The Sims 2: Castaway review at PALGN.

"Over the years, we have seen a variety of different Sims titles for consoles, but the overriding problem is that they have never really stacked up against the original two titles on the PC. When The Sims 2: Castaway was announced, we pretty much expected it to be the standard Sims console fare, but we must admit that we are somewhat pleasantly surprised with how the game has turned out – especially after the disappointing The Sims 2: Pets. That said, The Sims 2: Castaway has a number of technical issues and other minor annoyances that seem to stack up and hold the game back from being a truly memorable experience."
