Immersive and addicting!
User Rating: 9.1 | Uplink PC
Uplink: Hacker Elite is one of the best games I've ever played to date. It's an immersive and addicting game with a very well rounded storyline that you create as you go. The game itself is quite simple but still intricate enough to provoke strategy in the player. With every mission you except and complete, you gain funds and experience. With experience you can gain access to better missions and with funds you can purchase better hardware for your computer which improves your ability to hack. Uplink is a totally different game style then most people will be used to, but it's quite easy to manage and definitely worth the time to learn. There are some pretty spiffy things to do in the game, anything from simple copying or deleting files to changing a student or convict's information to plain stealing money out of major bank accounts. You can be doing extremely well in your game, but beware... you do need to be sure to bounce your connections and clean up your tracks because it's very easy to be tracked and caught as a hacker, but the better you get at the game, the more exciting the game gets. You need pretty quick thinking to endure some parts of the game, it's easy to get distracted in some missions. In conclusion, this is a very good game. You can try and find it in the US for sale, which is quite difficult, I've never met a GameStop employee that had even heard of the game.. but I recommend you just buy it from a game downloading website. Generally it's twenty bucks to download and it's totally worth it, but if you want to remain completely faithful, go ahead and order it from the original UK site, but be prepared for up to 8 weeks of waiting!
