Addictive Survivor Sims [Posted on 2008-03-11]
This is my favourite Nintendo DS game. It's really addictive because there's so much to do - fulfilling quests for other stranded sims, trying to improve your tools, your hut, your clothes, your food supply. I like how it makes you think "now how do I get that?" It's challenging and stimulating and although it can be frustrating trying to find some of the rare items, it's such a buzz when you finally get them and can accomplish your task. The minigames are great and take some practise to master. I like the fishing best - each type of fish has its own personality. It has great replayability value as well.

Fun until 50% done. [Posted on 2008-03-25]
This was a fun game until I finished helping the castaways. After that it became pointless because I could escape the island. After helping the castaways, the only reason to stay on the island is to finish your collections, which is pretty boring. The game also freezes at times so to continue playing I needed to restart the DS. I would rent the game or not buy it at all because it just isn't worth all the money, for the time you actually enjoy it.

Okay at first... [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I was really excited about getting this game after reading the enthusiastic reviews about it. I was not disapointed at first. The game had an incredible story to go along with it, and you learned to survive. But it was very annoying how you had to constantly fill your needs at the same time. Also, almost all the foods had a downside to them. For example, the food could increase your stomach but decrease your hygiene.
I had expected much moer from this game, and it could be much better.

Good Game! [Posted on 2008-07-02]
The graphics aren't the best but its fun...really really fun to me anyway. But at this moment I am stumped, it is for maybe 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders?? I enjoy it though.
