I find it somewhat ironical that despite having spent about twice as much time playing TR as I had when I wrote my initial thoughts piece here, my actual ‘review’ of the game (which I’ve left scoreless and labeled as ‘Launch Impressions’) is nowhere near as detailed because of Slashdot’s broader audience.

If the question is whether Tabula Rasa is worth $15 a month, my answer is yes … for about two months. At the moment TR feels like all flash and little burn, with enough niggling details left unpolished that you’ll eventually get bored. It’s well worth giving a try, and if you have a friend with the game they’re currently running a ‘referral program’ that might get you some free playtime. Either way, taking the fight to the Bane is a fun and altogether different experience from your average Massive experience. The MMO field continues to fill with feisty contenders, and I have high hopes that the team at Destination Games will keep the sci-fi dream alive.
