Castaway.... The romance of being 'castaway' drew me to this game, coupled with the unparalled success of the 'sims' franchise. As opposed to many mobile games this isn't a quick game to get through, which is nice. And it does have the sense of the exotic, which on a cold wet march morning does have appeal. The graphics are fair, and the controls very easy, in fact there really isn't any challenge to the game, however it passes the time like a warm bath., you won't want to get out. There are a couple of sub games (necessary to pass to acheive tasks) but they aren't challenging, and perhaps this is the games only downfall, its very, very easy but strangely compelling.

This is a fantastic game for any sim fans out there, with recognisable sound and a bright & cheery look to it.
You start alone on an island and soon find yourself meeting up with other castaways and even a gorilla! Everyone has a role to fulfil as it's not long before your new found friends are offering you missions and helping you to advance your story along.
My favourite thing about the sims 2: castaway for the mobile would have to be the mini-games which breaks up the travelling and collecting you'll find yourself doing.
Overall I really enjoyed this game and wish I could have scored it higher but it's quite short and could have done with a few more missions and things to make or do.

Loved this game! The detail of the character is great, such as shaking trees to get bananas or coconuts to eat. Couldnt put it down once I started!!
