Uplink: Hacker Elite

I can see this not being for everybody. If you're not a computer nerd, you may want to check out some more screen shots or gameplay videos. You basically get a simulated computer desktop and you "hack" people. When you're starting, you'll probably get busted several times while figuring stuff out. Forget to clear a log? Busted. Little mistakes can really bite you in the ass. Don't be afraid to ask the Google if you hit a road block. There seems to still be plenty of info around. Once you get past that bit of a learning curve, it gets pretty fun, with some easter eggs and oddities along the way. You can toss people in jail, hack someone's bank account, or even trade stock (to an extent). Took off one star for it not letting me customize my "desktop" better. Improved UI would be awesome.

If you want to be a hacker, that's one thing. Chances are, if you are a hacker, you aren't playing this game. Yes, it teaches certain skills, but from a practical standpoint, this game neither teaches proper skills nor does it properly train you to be a hacker. Certainly, it is a game that is entertaining, and you'll have fun understanding the concepts and other minutia of the program, however, this is not a hacking sim. It is a game. Real-world hacking is much more complex and requires much more skills than most who would play this game possess. If you want to learn to hack, go learn from an actual hacker. Otherwise, this is just any other video game that puts you into the role of some good/bad guy bent on world salvation/destruction. Nothing more. Final Word: Demo first, Buy later

i brought this when it was released on Introversion site loved it play it to this day only quibble is they are repetitive after a while be nice for new missions or updates on new challanges but in all fairness awsome game :) great to kill time if you are ever bored

Graphic and Gameplay is very nice.
