Used Lost Island - Surviving for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffJune 16, 2015

Think Gilligan's Island meets The Sims. While features are limited and graphics are passible, Lost Island is a borderline entertaining game--even more if you're considering a tropical vacation. It's not an intuitive game, however; be sure to read the tutorial completely before starting up. Manage food, conserve water, build shelter, and try not to go out of your stranded mind--it's the basic survival premise that both prime-time TV and Hollywood loves. The program unfortunately doesn't allow you to change colors or some controls, but you can tweak the music volume and mouse controls. About as fun as a barrel of coconuts, this game just isn't one of our favorites.

Pros
very interesting and stimulating. I downloaded the trial version and completed the first two scenarios. At first it took me a few tries to get the basics of the game, then it was all creative and producrive fun. I just bought the full version. I cant help it when I find a good sim/strategy game. Nice graphics by the way, it is not a low quality game (doesn't take much to please me though)
Cons
Yes I agree that there is no help or instructions available but really it's not that difficult to figure it out. I didnt like the menu and the options available.

Pros
Nice Graphics
Cons
The intructions are not detailed enough. Takes forever to figure out how to play the game then takes forever to be able to do any of the tasks in the game. Don't Bother.
Summary
This game is a bit hard to learn but once you learn it is a great game.

There basically are no intructions on how to play the game, ive been sitting here trying to get the guy to bake the bricks and he just wouldn't do anything. The controls aren't clear and everything is confusing.
