Game where you survive in the wild?

Question

I've just thought of how cool it would be to play a game where you are a person with sparse survival tools, and you have to make a living and adapt to the wilderness. Kind of like the movie "Into the Wild" Does such a game exist?

Answer 1

There is The Sims2: Castaway.  You get shipwrecked and have to either try to survive and live on the island or build something to take you away. (Note: this game isn't on the XBOX)  It's hard to explain as I haven't played it myself but I had the same thought as you did and when I learned about this game it seemed like what I was looking for.
