TR - Gamespy Reviews Tabula Rasa : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

Gamespy PC now has up their review of Tabula Rasa. Here is an excerpt:

Other MMOs could learn a few things from Tabula Rasa's class structure. All players begin as undifferentiated "Recruits" with a few basic skills. As they level, players make choices about the types of gameplay they enjoy and move into more specialized classes.
