Nevertheless, it is the interaction with the other islanders that really shines as the centerpiece of the game. Whether it is traversing to a nearby part of the island to look for new arrivals or strengthening your relationship with the other Sims, the core community element of the Sims series is still there and better than ever.Īlong with a new setting and task system, the game also features a new visual style. Characters are a little smaller than in early installments and the environment has a mix of both 3D and cel-shaded graphics. There could have been a little more detail on the islanders and the land occasionally gives off a very "sketchy" feel to it. However, it really doesn't look too bad for a game this late in the Playstation 2 life cycle. While the visuals may not come off too stunningly, the audio department fares a lot better. Unlike the last few Sims games which borrowed a lot of music from previous versions, Castaway brings along a tropical island set-list, with a lot of songs you'd expect to hear at the beach. Overall, the sounds help give off the impression that you really are stranded on a far-away island. Whether that is a good thing or not is entirely up to you. In closing, The Sims 2: Castaway is a unique approach to the series and is one of the more pleasant simulations to have come out this year.
