No real need to download. Once the reviews are in I just need to know one thing: Is it any thing like the original and if yes, then it is a must have title. End of story

Thanks for the link Myrthos.

I played the demo, and I think that for fans it's a sure buy. 
Everything is much darker now - I mean the buildings, the overall setting - at least within the demo. The lizard culture definitively reminds me of the Aztec empire.
The game mechanics, however, appear to me to be the same. The pet dragon acts in fact like one of the spirits from the "Legend" game, so this part is equal, too.
I liked it. The only drawback is that everything looks darker, then.
And yes, the 3D feature is in it. :9 One needs special glasses for it, though. I haven't tried it, because I already uninstalled the demo again - I need space for the "Legend" game …

I have mixed feelings about the new units, I like the reptilian faction, but the mechanical type units seem out of place to me.

Flying around the overland map seems pretty weak to me. I sure hope it isn't featured too prominently in the campaign. Kinda takes some fun out of it imo. And this is my most anticipated title of the year.
We'll see =.=

I have a similar feeling about the mechanical units; however, I found they fit *relatively* well into the environment.
Things I personal didn't quite understand were some spots of enemies … Amelie hat to battle a group containiung Arch-Mages, Gryffons and Paladins as well. I couldn't stop wonder how they got there ? And why they were there ? They seemed out of place to me, given that the environment was largely reptilian-based, and almost no humans around.
What I didn't like as well was the view … It was far too tight to the ground, in the overland map view, imho.

I'm not sure if that demo was even taken from the full game though. It said something about being a "dream" at the beginning, so that map may have been custom made for the demo.

Yeah, game mechanics were seriously out of wack in the demo, but it let you quickly see the differences and new stuff compared to Legend. I believe it isn't possible to fly until a bit later in the full game? I loved that they gave you lots of runes to spend on the talent trees, that's what I downloaded the demo in the first place. I absolutely needed to see those talent trees. . I like the new layout and I'm wondering how many runes you'll have at your disposal for a full game.
I still ended up playing a couple of battles. This already looks likes hours and hours of fun again. No mage for me this time around, my warrior in Legend never got very far, so I think that's what I'll be playing. The paladin tree seems more interesting now, but I simply can't get used to the idea of splitting my focus in half.
Was it just me or is leveling up completely automatic now without choosing a stat? That would be a pity, although I guess there's enough new choices to be made in Princess.
