 - Like it. Too disapointed to love it.Except for Crystal Island, the islands are beautiful. Enjoyed the island music. The only natives on the one for PlayStation 2 are the chimps. There is a white box or space beneath each crew members picture when you are viewing relationships in personal info, as if there is supose to be a bio, but the bio's are missing. We are not given the option of writing bios when creating or editing our crew members. So why that white space is here under our sims picture is a mystery. There is nothing to make note of a change in the relationship with crew members other than the blue and green face which indicates if they're friend or best friend. There is no heart or rings after a sim becomes engaged or married, it is the same as before the proposal was accepted. There are instruments to be made and played, but other crew members can't raise their fun levels by listening to the music or dancing. Can only dance to the radio after finding it. Social Interactions with other crew members are lacking, and disapointing. Many of the interactions that we are use to, and have always assumed would be in later sims games -like flirt- are missing. We are given a Wedding Beanie instead of a wedding wreath or crown. Doesn't look bad on a female sim, but on a male sim? A Beanie on a male sim? Could he look any geekier? The Fortified Campfire causes fires no matter how much space you have, how often you collect the ashes, even when there is nothing like -food- set near it. DO NOT use the Fortified Campfire, it can't be removed after you build it, and you're constantly putting out fires then sending your sims into the water to raise their hygiene. It's a glitch that should have been caught and fixed before the game was released. The S.O.S. rescue scene was disapointing, but maybe the Boat rescue scene is better -I'm playing a second time to find out. I loved the clothing -though I would have liked more clothing options while creating my sims- and the music and chimps. My sims hugging chimps, cute!! All of the islands are beautiful, except for Crystal Island. The treasure is disapointing. I'm not going to spoil it for you by telling you what's in Beard's Beard's treasure chest, but if you're expecting gold and jewels, something very valuable like that (after all it's a pirates treasure chest), you WILL be disapointed. This game is about survival and rescue, so I understand why the sims cannot have children while they are learning how to survive on a deserted island and trying to get rescued. BUT (Spoiler-sorry) after rescue your sim is given a choice of whether they wish to continue on the island. You've just won the game (you were rescued), you've chosen to live on the island, meaning you're a native of the island. If you think that now your sim will be able to have children, your wrong. You can't create teenagers, and your adult sims cannot have children even after they are rescued and choose to live their life on the island. Maybe it's different with the pc version. I hope so. BUT I love that their clothing gets tattered so that the sims have to make new clothing which increases a very important skill. And their hair grows! Hopefully their hair growing will be in later sims games made after this, but I won't hold my breath. I know after reading my review, it sounds like I hate this game. I don't. I've been waiting for this game to come out ever since I heard that they were making it. I had very high hopes for this game. Maybe my expectations for this game was too high, I don't know. I like this game, it's worth buying and playing, but I am much too disapointed to love it. It's different enough from the previous sims games to buy, play and keep, BUT not as good as Sims In The City and Sims Bustin' Out. Sims Pets is also better than this one. Rating: - Great edition to sims gamesI have enjoyed this game because it was unlike other sims games. It has brought me hours of fun trying to master the different skills on the island. Rating:  - Get Lost--in playing!I have never had so much fun playing a video game! You earn skills in new and unique ways and you learn to survive. I got lost in playing on the first day--I played for over an hour!! I also have the strategy guide to go with it, so I have a guide to help me when I get stuck! The graphics are amazing--I don't know where people get off saying that they are not good...This is one game that I am not sorry that I purchased! Rating: - A Good Sims GameI really liked how this Sims changed up the normal format and had you create almost all items used in the game, even your house. It wasn't without its glitches though. When I would go to build a new shelter, sometimes it would not let me build a section of wall. It did this usually when I would get tired while building the shelter. In the middle of building the wall my Sim would freak and want to go to bed. After that, I could never finish that section of wall. Also, the chimps don't wait nearly long enough when they bring you what they have collected for you. Half the time when I was in the middle of something and canceled my action to go to the chimp, it would take to long for my Sim to actually stop and go to the chimp. The chimp would leave with my stuff. Other than that, I really enjoyed the game and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the console Sims games. Rating: - great game for girlsSo many ps2 games are boy oriented. My daughter has found a games she loves! She also has the book that goes with it. I highly recommend getting the book. The main drawback, you can only save 1 player. Boy is my son bummed.
