Players are part of a crew of six Sims, that take a boat paradisiacal vacation. Here we see a departure from that model of complete freedom and see players cast in a pre-set wreckage scenario.
The original titles focused on complete freedom to imagining and creating characters from scratch and building any life they saw fit. The Sims 2: Castaway re-imagines the popular franchise of The Sims. Those changes however were enough to earn the title generally positive views. The game was somewhat different than the computer version, or earlier titles, including some new rules and mechanics. Developed and published by Electronic Arts, and released in 2007, The Sims 2: Castaway is a life simulation, survival, single-player game.
This game was released for the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and some mobile phones. Once an exclusive title for PCs the remarkable success of the franchise warranted diverse spin-offs. The Sims 2: Castaway is the third entry of the series for console platforms.
