Tabula Rasa Review

AtomicGamer has put together a two-page review of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa, handing the sci-fi MMORPG an overall score of 80%.
Tabula Rasa does a lot of things right and only a few things really wrong, but I still find it tough to recommend this one except to those anti-fantasy RPG fans who feel they must be holding a gun rather than a sword in their games. No matter your tastes, Tabula Rasa does offer a new experience over World of Warcraft and the nice part is that the players are generally proven to be more mature than those who live in Blizzard's games. While the developers haven't really laid out long-term plans for the direction of TR beyond balance changes and fixes, there's a lot of potential here for them to add a ton of stuff and really make it shine. Until then, this game is not the MMO killer it was hyped to be, but it's still a fine game with a solid technical background and just enough action to make it feel a lot more explosive than the many online RPGs out there.
