ops2m demo 05: Demo Disc 03 – May 2001

Description

A cover‑mounted PlayStation 2 demo disc distributed with Official PlayStation 2 Australian Magazine, showcasing a mix of genres, predominantly in pre-rendered videos. Like similar, early magazine-distributed PS2 demo discs, this came on a CD-ROM due to not needing the space on a DVD.

The main drawcard is a playable demo of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. In addition, the disc contains the following video demos:

• Sky Odyssey – A flight adventure game focused on exploration and precision piloting, where players navigate small aircraft through dangerous environments such as canyons, ruins, and storms while completing delivery and stunt challenges.
• Madden NFL 2001 – An American football simulation featuring realistic team rosters, strategic play-calling, and detailed stadium presentation, bringing professional gridiron gameplay to the early PlayStation 2 era.
• Knockout Kings 2001 – A boxing simulation emphasising timing, movement, and ring strategy, allowing players to control famous fighters while managing stamina, defence, and powerful knockout punches.
• Theme Park World – A colourful theme-park management game where players design rides, manage staff and finances, and attract visitors while keeping guests happy across imaginative themed parks.
• F1 Championship Season 2000 – A Formula One racing simulation based on the 2000 FIA season, featuring official teams, drivers, and circuits with an emphasis on realistic handling, pit strategy, and championship progression.

As the Australian magazine re-distributed the EU PAL demo discs, there is a misalignment with the number. The ops2m demo 05 disc was packaged demo disc 03 in Australia.
