Game Review: Hacker Evolution

Hacker Evolution is a game for "different" players. There is nothing moving or nothing to shoot in this game. Instead the player types different commands in his command prompt while cracking passwords, scanning and braking into different servers in the Internet.

You play the role of a former intelligence agent, specializing in computer security. When a chain of events sets off worldwide, leaving critical service disabled, you assume the role a computer hacker to find out what happened and attempt to stop it.
When a stock market, a central bank, satellite uplink and transoceanic fiber optics links crash, you know this is more then a simple event. Something big is behind all this, and you have to figure out what is it.
You hack into computers, look for exploits and information, steal money to buy hardware upgrades in an attempt to put all the pieces of a big puzzle, together.

The player has over 20 different commands like: connect, scan, cat, abort, decrypt, crack to search and scan servers at the World, and to find out for the weak points. From the hacked servers, player can find usable files and information, he/she may also transfer money to buy hardware updates or use the hacked servers to hide from tracers.

I played the demo version, which includes tutorial and one scenario. The game experience was really good, but as I wrote in the beginning, it is not a game for everyone.
