I really liked this game. I only played the demo but I am already planning to buy it. Anybody else try this out??? If so, what do you think of it???

Okay so I looked at a gameplay video and honestly I'm a bit disappointed.... it looks like they simply changed too much of it, it doesn't feel like Galaga anymore.
I think you are looking at it the wrong way. Galaxian was the original. Then there's Galaga. The third is Gaplus and the fourth is Galaga '88. I believe Galaga Legions DX adds to what Gaplus was and is not intended to be a simple Galaga port. They went with the 8 way directional joystick instead of the original two way at the bottom of the screen. Then they made it so the baddies come from all directions instead of just the sides going up into formation and then down.
Just like they did with Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. They took the basic Pac-Man style but used the Ms. Pac-Man (no patterns for the ghosts) and added a twist by giving you different game modes and a time limit. This means that you have to be able to play the game really well for the short amount of time they've given you.
Both of these games took the beloved original arcade themes and have adapted them for today's gaming population allowing them to experience the classics in a new way for the first time. I think they were very well made (although I do believe that Galaga Legions DX is a lot shorter since it doesn't have as many gameplay modes) and the updated graphics are amazing. My wife is not a SHMUP fan but she is addictd to the Pac-an Championship Edition DX.
Download the demo and don't base your judgement from the gameplay videos.
Also, just to brag and update, my rank is now 630 out of 24,500 ranked players.
I think that the look is why I don't care for it. It lost that cartoon look to the alien bug ships.
