BeefJack: Lost in the blue - Shipwrecked Review

BeefJack writes: "It is Survivor without the game show element and although it seems very kiddy at first, don't judge an island by the trees, it's a game of discovery, basic strategies and survival. You start the game as Aiden Sanders having to abandon ship when the luxury liner you are aboard starts to sink, Titanic style. The next thing you know you are washed up on a deserted island with only Hobo, your pet monkey as company."

Positives:

* Easy and fun to play
* Various plot threads, apart from just basic survival
* Lots of mini-games
* Inventive use of the Wii controllers

Negatives:

* The map is useless
* Characters only speak a few words with the rest having to be read via subtitles
* Hunger, stamina and hydration levels deplete too rapidly
