Video Game Reviews of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa Collectors Edition
Customer Review: GREAT ONLINE GAME
Summary: 5 Stars
After a couple of years of WOW, a few months of LOTRO and a year of Hellgate:London, I wanted to take the time to tell people what an immersive experience Tabula Rasa is. You have the illusion of being in an massive intersteller war. The combat is first rate. The scenery is breath-taking and the plotlines are deep and many. And don't get me going on the weapons. MUCH fun. Only HGL has as many fun guns and toys with which to blow things up. Love the way you can lose installations from being overrun by the Bane. Sometimes this prevents you from completing your mission as your NPC is on the base. Its fun assaulting it and trying to take it back, but bring some friends.
I'm not a crafter, but for crafting I hear there is even a risk of destroying your gear if you do not put enough points into crafting and try something complex. Sounds like RL to me.
Lord British did one HELL of a job with this game. My son and I play all the prev mentioned online games together and we've had a blast running around the shattered battlefield striking terror into the hearts of our enemies. Interface is flexible and first rate.
We both run a nVidia 8800GT card (non SLI'd) and a low-end Dual Core intel CPU on our gaming rigs with no problems. All the bells and whistles are full up and play smooth as glass.
Had an issue with a quest completing and the GM got back with me inside of 15 min and resolved it. The only disappointment I've had is I hear the Strat Guide is not very up to date so I use the fan sites to help me in the places I can't figure out on my own.
We got the collectors edition and love all the extras. Well worth the money - ESPECIALLY at the uber low price Amazon sells it for. To stay in our monthly gaming budget we only subscribe to two games at a time. After almost 3 years, we're finally dropping WOW!
I'm SO grateful to finally have a great online game to play that is NOT fantasy. Love sword and sorcery - just burned out on it. Time for Science Fiction fun. And the name of ours for a while is going to be Tabula Rasa.
Customer Review: Now this was definitely unexpectedly good
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is a blast. (Litterally.) The graphics are great the pace is fast, the learning curve isn't bad.
Battles are truly epic. (Especially around contested control points.) Very well done and fun.
The Collectors Edition is the way to go. The Guide and the Maps are first rate, but the real kicker in the game is the Boo-Bot. You can think of it as just something to look at or let people know you spent more for the Collector's edition, but you are missing the real use of it. In a Squad situation if the guy on point has one then it is easier to follow your point man. In a serious battle everyone can rally to the Bot, so you can get back together. It is a quick indicator as to where to go in the usual clutter of a battlefield.
Customer Review: keep paying while playing
Summary: 1 Stars
this game is a money machine for the software company. You have to pay to play. They charge you every minute hr day week to play. Don't buy it unless you are ready to give away your hard earned cash. even if it was free (which I expect at some point it will be ) I would not suggest you buy itCustomer Review: Pretty good
Summary: 3 Stars
For a new concept, it's pretty good. I have a great graphics card, and I wasn't able to turn up the graphics all the way, which was disappointing. I really don't like to need to spend $500 on a graphics card (mine was $300) to get full graphics.
It played well, but it just didn't capture me like some other games have.
Customer Review: Good game, well worth it.
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is pretty unique among the current crop of mmo's. I found it to be quite refreshing. Graphics are good, gameplay is good, the people I encountered were great, but as with all mmo's, I just got tired of paying a monthly fee. The game did need a little work when I played, with a few more patches it could be incredible but as it stands..it falls a little short. Its still worth a try for someone looking for something a little different. You can't beat amazon's price anywhere though...so if you're looking to try TR...this is the place to get it.
