Ahhh, Uplink.Another one of those games that most people have never heard of.And if you haven't heard of it, and you are looking for an exciting and unique simulation, then you have been missing out.Uplink: Hacker Elite isn't just the only game of its kind.It is also an excellent game.
The game has a basic premise. You are a freelance hacker in the year 2010, free to commit all sorts of cyber crimes however you would like.It's kind of like Grand Theft Auto in cyberspace.It is executed very well.The simulation never gets "out of character", so to speak.The start game screen isn't even a typical start game screen - it's a "login" screen onto the game's virtual network.
What this game does a great job of doing is giving you a feeling of mischief that comes from poking your nose into places it is not supposed to be.You accept jobs off of a bulletin board, sabotaging corporate data, breaking into banks, and doing other assorted dirty deeds.You break into secure systems by hacking passwords, disabling firewalls, and other methods, and then work as fast as you can before you are traced.It's very exciting, and it gives you a devious pleasure when you successfully sabotage a company's files.
"Uplink: Hacker Elite" has all sorts of different things to explore.Did you get caught and get yourself a criminal record?Hack into the criminal database and erase it!Are you going to destroy a corporate database?Buy the stock of the company's competitor and make some money off of it.You have to either experiment and figure this stuff out for yourself, or use a walkthrough from the internet.The difficulty level of the game is insane, and it gives you almost no hints.
This game is certainly not for everyone.You will probably either love it or hate it.It requires lots of brainpower, experimentation and planning, and it can get extremely frustrating.This game is very unforgiving, and does not allow you to reload a saved game if you get caught (but there are ways around that).However, you won't find anything else like it out there, and it's very well done.If stealing files from a corporation and then framing someone else for the crime sounds like fun to you, then "Uplink: Hacker Elite" is the game for you.
