Half-Life: Uplink Extended is basically a remaster of the original Uplink, also known as the demo version of Half-Life. It features higher levels of detail, just overall higher quality architecture while still staying true to Valve's original layout and design, new code, some new weapons and it features the Gargantua battle at the end of the original Uplink demo and more...
I will say right away, Mod is made clumsy, 1. Location with Gargantua. - She is small, as soon as you are always caught by this monster, and the cartridges are clumsy. Why is there a bazooka, why for what, who brought it? I added a lot of monsters at the location, like at the end in the elevator, you threw monsters there, my rating: 4.2 - Made for a quick hand, or something like that.
Really a 7.5, but the rating system does not allow for halves. It's short and it has glitches. Fun though and was the first time I played the Half Life demo, so I can not really comment on how it compares.
It was nice to see the different areas however. But at the very end I kept getting killed in the elevator for no reason. Having to keep jumping at the end and trying to find an invisible safe spot in order to pass what ever was killing me in several instances and freezing me is others is not acceptable.
Also the headcrabs seemed to be down right fast in this one for turning speed, although I am not sure if that is a ya or a nay... Still good work though and at least worthy of a play through.
Before I knew Half-Life, I knew Day One and Uplink.. The two demos of Half-Life.. I played the Hell out of those two demos in anticipation of the GOTY version of Half-Life.
Uplink contained some unique ideas such as scripted executions, Powerful Turrets and the ability to hide in the shadows.
This mod brings back those good old days by makiing Uplink look more modern in this mod.. It also gives an extended battle with the Garg and a possible reference to another Half-Life product:Further Data.
I played it: It has lags, incoherences, and the end is botched.
However the mapping is good.
That's why I gave it a 6/10.
Quite nice extension of the original Uplink. The ending could be better (especially if didn't have the bugs).
This is a pretty good mod. You now can play the epic boss fight with Gargantua which is cut from the original demo. The extended level is pretty good too. If Valve extended the demo, this is pretty much what it'd looks like. But, the mod is not perfect. It's still have a few minor bugs and didn't really extend the demo that much. It would be nice if this mod gets updated and extended into a much longer campaign. And when that day comes, I'll give this mod a perfect score. But until that, I'm gonna give this mod an 8.
A great way to extend a classic and an excellent job from top to bottom.
Play this if you want a true blast from the past :D
Recreating a classic Half-Life demo deserves a rating no lower than 10/10. It brought the same experience I'd had years ago! I did not like the ending of the original Uplink, but I enjoyed this extended version. It was an amazing idea to create this!
this mod completely satisfied my needs cous i playd the plain uplink but this. this is ewerything i love this extended for the win:DDDDDDDD
