Disney's Treasure Planet (PS2 Demo) - OPM Issue 63 (December 2002)

Disney's Treasure Planet is the 5th demo of Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine Issue 63 from December 2002. The demo has some few beta elements, unlike the final game, which was already released a month ago.

Demo Gameplay
The demo starts with the copyright logos, especially if the memory card enough space screen appears. Then, it went to the loading screen and the title screen appears. Once you start, they were only two levels: The Below Inn and Meteor Belt. During the gameplay, the player chooses to quit the game, if necessary, will go back to the title screen. However, when you really quit the game at the title screen, the demo ends with two advertisements before it goes back to the demo menu, if the player is not pressing any buttons.
