Open-ended profession system lets you choose your class as you play. Shooter-like combat keeps you engaged. Exciting random attacks on control points and in explorable areas.

 

 

For Tabula Rasa,The combat system and skill system is what partly makes Tabula Rasa unique. For the RPG and Shooter man, the battle system is for you. That combination is very rare, almost unseen today. The skills are able to be used in battle withOUT slowing the user down. One of the best ablities that don’t slow the user down is Rushing Blow, wich makes you just plow into the user like the Great Khali into Hornswogle. (Sorry, wrestling quote there.) Now, time for the downside. The biggest part of this are the glitches. When you step into a glitch, they will be huge, and could stop the game altogether. An example of a glitch is when the game just crashes randomly. Another thing isn’t big, but falling down a cliff that could be as big as 50 feet….. Doesn’t kill you. That’s just godly. Except for that, its not a bad game. So, without further ado, I give Tabula Rasa a 8.0 out of 10.0 points. It’s another good unique game.
The graphics aren’t at all something to gawk at, but for someone like me who played UO for X number of years, the biggest concern I have is gameplay and replayability. If you are big on graphics then you are going to find this game more or less an eyesore, although there are varying levels of detail you can allow, or disallow, in the video options menu. However it is my opinion that the graphics are very acceptable. I am very pleased to have purchased a game from a developer that knows not to waste DVD space on voice-overs and eye-candy that will not add to the value of the game in any way shape or form. Even though these are not the best graphics, in my opinion, they are all very well placed. He did a good job with what he had to work with. The experience of Garriott and his team shines brightly all around you proved in all you see and do.
