i heard from some friends that there is a game called Uplink ... it's a game about hacking ... i didnt try that game yet and im kind still thinking if i'll buy it or not .... is there any1 here who tryed this game ?
if yes give me ur opinion about it and tell me if it's a cool game and worth to buy it .... or if isnt just tell me dont buy it

I've tried uplink some times ago. It is good if you like to use the mouse You can beat some levels without actually touching the keyboard. You buy a password breaker wich breaks automaticaly into servers, a anti-trace utlity wich warns you if there is someone trying to trace you, and the exact time until the trace is complete... The interface is cool, but unintuitive. So, it is an entertaining game, but it really doesn't deserve the 'hacking game' classification, it's too unrealistic.
If you are interested in safe hacking, I would recommend http://www.secinf.net/harmless_hacking_ ... acker.html
If you only want to play a game, try Digital Hazard. You can get a demo for the three first levels on http://www.exosyphen.com/. It still has an automatic brute-force password cracker for servers but at least you give your keyboard some use...

I played the game and it was a lot of fun... when you hear the anti-trace utility beeping faster and faster and you ay to yourself just one log left... and then just disconnect few seconds before you are traced

i played it with FBI mod and it was fun.. but its not realistic..

I played an game a little like upling some years ago, and it was too simple... then i tried uplink and is a good game... not too intuitive sometimes, but i have fun...

I played the demo a few months back. Its alright, u have a very simple system spec 2 begin with and you are in competion with other agents/hackers. You earn money to upgrade ur system, buy tools e.g password cracker by completting tasks. I like the world map which u can link different servers around the world to hide your real location. Try the demo if u havent tried it yet uplink.co.uk

i played uplink a few months
or a year(?) ago
it can really be fun but
after a while its
getting boring!

i played streethacker, but it sucked... didnt like at all

Hey I remember UPLINK!! that game wasnt soo bad.. at least its a little fun. The company that made that game made another really weird 3d world game.. called..

Darwinia

http://www.darwinia.co.uk/

needs to say they both were a little weird..

it sounds like a Hollywood interpretation of hacking.....http://www.uplink.co.uk

I've had it since first beta, I kinda like it, how you can now add your own stuff to it and modify pretty much everything

I want the dev cd though, as I wish to mod it bigtime

And how can it be hollywood when it's made by brits in the UK?

i havent played uplink, but i have played a game that sounds a bunch like it called BS hacker zero expansions. its a pretty cool game, sounds identical to uplink. i have also played the demo for Digital Hazard it's pretty cool aswell.

yeah, i played uplink too. it's nice, funny at the beginning, but after you play a while you become bored...and it's not too realistic

I've got that game. Never got too far in it though, got a little bored. Still an interesting concept and glad it's there to toy with when I'm bored of other things.

After about 6 hours, I got REALLY bored. It's a fun game but since it has to be profitable and not realistic, you'll find that what everyone else has been saying rings true: it just doesn't require a lot of thinking.

However, if you're looking for a game, then I say go for it. It's a fun game for a while and it's worth it.
