Note: this is someone else's review, from ArsGeek.com. My 2cents, sounds pretty much like the old game but better produced. If they actually put out expansions I will probalby pick it up, as for just the base game, I'm not sure. The price seems right though at only $35, I may pick it up anyway.
I was going to copy paste, but decided I would highlight instead. For the full review check here:

Some highlights:
"Even more important however was how it was designed. Every set of cards was compartmentalized, along with the character cut outs and counters. No more little baggies and aging elastic bands!"
"The board is huge! A bit bigger than the 2nd edition and quite a good size to fill the center of a table. Adventure cards, character cards, toad cards, Talisman cards, spell cards, purchase cards, and alignment cards. Also bagged up were a large number of gold coins with an antique finish, six dice and counters for life, strength and craft."
"The counters are a nice change from the 2nd edition counters, which were card board cut squares about a quarter of an inch across. The new counters are roughly the same size but made of hard plastic"
" 15 characters available "
"Should you go out and buy Talisman when it hits the market in late September? Absolutely. If you enjoy board games with a fantasy bent you’ll have a great time with this game. I dare say you’ll be playing it a lot! With the 2nd edition there were a number of expansions that extended the game in all kinds of interesting ways.
We’re really hoping that Black Industries does well by this game and that they’re able to turn out some of the expansions they’ve been hinting at. We’ll be first in line to add them to our Talisman experience.
Where should you get it? Your local game or hobby shop should be carrying it. You can also pre-order it from Thought Hammer for $35.00 right now.
