I was really excited for this since I played this on the ps2. I have to say it might have been better on the ps2. Now Im not done with it yet however I will say a few things. It was a bit glitchy for me which was not because of any type of system requirements. The missions were a bit meh. In the ps2 I remember creating a team on a cruise and you get washed up and do all types of cool things building your own shelter focusing immediately on creating a raft learning to fish and carve weapons. On this it feels like you buy some stuff here, buy some stuff there, explore and get lucky with finding people. I find the story-line so far to be uninteresting. If you want to play the story-line you cant design your own sims which kind of sucks. You can design them in the other ....free-play option? While the designing is cool its very boring. This is also a game I can see has little replay quality. Glad I bought it used for only 20 dollars and didnt spend almost 100 on it.
