-------------
With still not a peep out of The Sims 3 on PC, Electronic Arts
are certainly keen to keep reinventing the franchise on consoles.
This all new game is not for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 and,
as you might guess from the name, involves you being shipwrecked
on a desert island. The concept is basically the same as Konamis
Stranded Kids/Lost in Blue series although you start off
completely alone with each of the different sims you create
washed up on a different part of the island. Obviously your first
task is to find something to eat and drink and a place to ,
with the initial parts of the game recalling the early episodes
of Lost (except without the smoke monster).
Soon enough youre fashioning fish harpooning spears out of bits
of bamboo, ing edible s, weaving your own clothes and
making giant tree houses and huts that would shame the average
holiday camp. Most importantly you can train your very own monkey
butlers to perform your every menial task for you (up to a
point). Soon enough your fellow strandees turn up and the games
more traditional social elements come into play as it becomes
less Lost and more Survivor. Once youre living in some degree of
comfort you can then venture out and explore the island and try
and find a way back to civilisation (or stay where you are the
game leaves it up to you). In fact its probably the most
interesting thing to happen to The Sims in years.
