No, but that is a neat idea. There is one website that evaluates new user submission this way, but not existing classes.
hmmm. Perhaps some quick impressions:
Legend:
R = Rules Fidelity / Utilization / Contribution: The prestige classes use of the rules, or contriubtion of abilities that are usefule or well thought out
P = Playability: Balance, ability to attain the classes abilities in a reasonable time/effort
C = Concept: How cool it is! (Of course, this one is very subjective!)
1-5 scale.
Sword & Fist:
Cavalier 2.66 (R 3 P 2 C 3)
Devoted Defender 4.00 (R 4 P 4 C 4)
Drunken Master 2.33 (R 3 P 3 C 1)
Duelist 4.00 (R 4 P 4 C 4)
Fist of Hextor 3.33 (R 4 P 3 C 3)
Ghostwalker 4.33 (R 4 P 4 C 5)
Gladiator 3.33 (R 3 P 4 C 3)
Halfling Outrider 3.00 (R 3 P 4 C 2)
Knight Protector 3.33 (R 3 P 3 C 4)
Lasher 3.33 (R 4 P 3 C 3)
Master of Chains 3.00 (R 2 P 3 C 4)
Master Samurai 3.33 (R 4 P 4 C 2)
Ninja of the Crecent Moon* 3.33 (R 4 P 3 C 3)
Order of the Bow* 2.66 (R 3 P 2 C 3**)
Ravager 3.66 (R 4 P 3 C 4)
Tribal Protector 2.66 (R 3 P 3 C 2)
Red Avenger 3.00 (R 4 P 3 C 2)
Warmaster 3.00 (R 3 P 2 C 4)
Weapon Master 3.33 (R 4 P 2 C 4)
* - Errata version
** - Almost knocked this down to 2 because of cheesy flavor text!!!!
I can't do this all day, but there's a start!
Wow! A quick reply and thank you very much for starting these reviews quite now!
Maybe, such reviews will once be part of EN World...
As a reviewer, I would also include a NPC---PC scale on which the Prestige Classes are measured. That's just because there are some very cool classes which nevertheless are not recommandable as PC classes because a PC is not any character, but an adventurer traveling with other adventurers.

Of course, it is a very demanding taks for one person to judge all the prestige classes or even WotC's ones.
On the other hand, it should be possible to have a compiled list of all prestige classes at one site where the visitors themselves can vote for these classes and write their remarks.
In the moment I am interested in opinions on the True Necromancer and the Virtuoso. At least thinking about these classes were the reason why I wondered if such a PrC-comparing site exists.

perhaps a new board specifically dedicated to reviews? or would that go in one of the existing boards?
i mean, i've used some of Psion's (and others) reviews to guide me but sometimes i want a powergamer, supermunchkin, or other not so respected player domographic perspective or would simply like a few more opinions before i buy a book. i have to order them off the net for the most part and therefore have to be pretty sure that i will be able to use a book before i shell out the cash without looking at it.
