#UPLINK HACKER ELITE THEMES SOFTWARE#

Outside the main plot there is almost unlimited freedom and there is certainly plenty to do. Instead it is almost addictivly compelling. It feels realistic enough to suspend disbelief but is never so realistic that it becomes boring. The second reason is that despite the good idea actually works as a game, which is probably even rarer. As well as random acts of computer crime there is a an ongoing plot which draws you further into the game, and into a battle over the very future of the internet. As a computer hacker operating through a shadowy company you can steal data and ruin lives using only your internet connection. Firstly because it is based on an original and compelling idea, something all too rare in computer game industry. There are three reasons why you should buy this game. Then again, as it says on the box, Trust is a Weakness. It's also a steal at this price, so trust me you won't be disappointed. Having read some of my own words, you could be forgiven for thinking, 'Breaking into bank accounts - yeah great', but this is definitely not just for geeks - My all time favourite game is unreal tournament, and this is completely different, but still a great game. It's hard to capture the suspense and satisfaction that this game delivers. Don't let this put you off, though, as it has still managed to keep my interest. The only criticism I have of this game is that it is bugged in places, and Introversion have already released a patch, but this hasn't fixed them all yet. There is a conspiracy sub-plot running beneath the game which becomes clearer later on, but it is real good fun breaking into people's bank accounts or changing their social security status from 'employed' to 'deceased' to mess their lives up. but if you mess up, and your target traces you, then Uplink will deny all knowledge of you.

If you do well, then you get money with which you can buy better software and hardware that will allow you to penetrate harder targets. You work for the shadowy Uplink Corporation as one of their agents, accepting missions to break into Banks, Servers, Criminal databases etc. Uplink is a game for the fans of movies like Enemy of the State, or for gamers who liked the conspiracy element in Deus Ex. I never had it, (because I couldn't afford to buy every game as a teenager), but I really liked the idea - all you started with was a prompt saying 'Log On'.and away you went! Well Uplink is a hacking game, but hacking like it is in the movies, with traces displayed across a map of the world (think Goldeneye) rather than hacking proper, which is a bit less graphic - I believe. If you had a ZX Spectrum in the eighties you might have heard of the game called 'Hacker'.
