Oh man… it's so hard to review games like Vendetta Online. Not because it's an MMO, but because, to paraphrase a cliché, we can't give points for effort. VO is a great example of the starting block of a game, and in time (due to its online nature), it may very well evolve into the second coming of MMOs.

However, we can't rate a game on what could have been or can be (indeed, if we did, every title here would score a perfect 10, even Extreme Paintbrawl). We have to rate and critique a game as it is. And unfortunately, as it is, VO suffers from almost every disease that can plague an MMO.
