Vendetta Review

Dec 11, 2004 Shift_RF link
Hi All

After playing the Vendetta Online trial I decided to write a review and upload it to my website. You can find it here
http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~jehelsby/

Just follow the links to the right page.
Please take a look, I hope you don't find it too picky, since I really liked playing the demo for this game.

Does anyone know if gamespy or any other major gamesite has reviewed Vendetta?

Hope you enjoy reading it!

One factual correction: Server fees are only $9.99 / month, not $15 / month.

Maybe it should be pointed out that its oz dollar then =D as when i see the $ sign (and im not from the US) i think USD =D

Ya! Get your own symbol! $ was originally a "S" over a "P" (or vice versa) for "Spanish Pesos" which were legal tender in the early days of the U.S.

Wait, the original dollar symbol (with two lines) was a "U" over an "S", no?
Dec 12, 2004 Shift_RF link
???? Ok that was alot of useless info.

Anyway, I don't know why the link won't work, it usually does, but with the dollars since I'm on a .au domain and my visitors are usually Australian people I didn't really think about the dollar thing.. Soz

Any comments on the review??? I aint no professional and I'm only 14 so I'd like to hear some feedback.

"a very good read if you have a spare 2 hours"

lol it is a lengthy history isnt it. Good review overall. Gave a positive impression about the game. The only things I can think of off hand that want in there was piracy (new players should be warned about that aspect), some detail about future plans, and the size of the game (all the many sectors and systems).
Oh, you had a few misspelled words by the way :)
Dec 13, 2004 Shift_RF link
Yeah I know :)

As I said it's just a hobby really, although the advertising eventually adds up. Anyway thanks for your feedback, I didn't really get as far into the game with the 8 hour trial to be effected by piracy so thats why it didn't factor in, I gave a little mention about future plans but I probably should have stated that 'more details are available on the site.'

Thanks again

yeah you should probably add the thing about piracy. Not to drag on the issue but alot of newbs complain about it.

Very nice review though. Who knows VO might get some costumers b/c of that review.

It's a good write-up (would that all 14-year-olds wrote so well). I would recommend putting the lot through a spell checker, as the large number of spelling errors hurt the article's credibility.

Overall I thought that it was a fair review that gave a good impression of the game. It didn't sound biased like anything any of the loyal testers would write :P

Sweet! The forums now show your post after you post something!

Proof reading is a great thing... <-- im a good example of mispellings...lol

Write something, read it back to yourself...

All in all, im biased, as i have been here ages, nice review...

It needs explaining more that people can and do shoot people here, i think a lot of people are logging on with the *park your self here, train for 16+ hours, gain a ship* thing, vendetta is not - you need skill, and its a real skill based kinda game, regardless of ship / weapons....

Thanks for your advice guys, I'll make sure I give my reviews extra spell checks for now on.

Viper, what did you meen by this 'Who knows VO might get some costumers b/c of that review.', I didn't really catch on to the meening of that.
