This is the first full song I've ever really made - so dont expect it to be any good haha - though I have done a few 'projects' in FL Studio and Cubase before (this was done in FL). If anyone could bother to listen to it for me, I'd be very happy :)

Nice kick (tad low in the mix though)
Hihats have no power to them. All you need is a simple off beat, and that'll work great.
Some snares/claps would come in handy.
Trance synth stabs behind the 303 need to be higher in the mix (and an octave up).
An off beat or psybass would really come in handy.
Needs more pads and SFX (especially rises for the breakdowns.)
Good first attempt, but there are some basic elements to hardcore that pretty much need to be in the song, or else it will sound off and amateurish.
Just to give you an idea, any hardcore track should have a basic pattern that looks like this:
K---K---K---K---
--H---H---H---H-
----S--------S---
--B---B---B---B-
K being the kick, H being an open hihat, S being a snare or clap, the hypens being 16th note rests, and B being a bassline, usually a heavy squarewave bass. (and you can do pretty much everything with the snares/claps, but the every other beat formula is the most common.) Once you have those elements, the song will come together a lot better. You can also have a bass that looks like
--BB--BB--BB--BB
or even (though this usually only works with more psytrance-ish basses)
-BBB-BBB-BBB-BBB
