In the main game you can only play as the Royal Navy, as jim hawkins, however in skirmishes you can play as any of the three factions (Navy, pirates, or "Procyons" the raccoon like massive military empire that specializes in badass warships) and you can individually construct your fleet and crew with the minutest details under your control.
People should scoff at new games and say "Dear god, why couldnt you do what a disney game thats demo was given away for free with kids meals at mcdonalds do, why cant you even manage to be as good as "Battle at Procyon" It kills me this game didnt end up a classic in the minds of all gamers. You can board and steal enemy ships, set up skirmishes, and play a very well put together campain. The game gives more depth to the treasure planet universe and, to be honest, is a bloody damn good example of a RTS ship game. In Treasure planet, battle at procyon, you play as an older Jim Hawkins, who decided to stop being a little thug and joined up with the navy he sailed with in the movie. Oh my, I thought this gem was long since lost to the infinite sea of good games we will never see again I wholeheartedly recommend it for fans of action-strategy games, space combat, or video games in general. It enhances the story of the original film and raises the bar for licensed games everywhere with stunning space combat done correctly, solid voice acting, graphics and sound that really put you in the world (or in space, if you prefer), and just being plain fun to learn and play. To sum up, I really enjoy Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon. I jumped right back in (speaking to the ease of the gameplay) and was immediately surprised to find that it was just as fun as I remembered! That's something that can't be said for many games.
Jumping back into the full release, I thought that nostalgia would have dulled my senses, or maybe I wouldn't remember how to play, or maybe I would be biased. I remember watching in fear as a black hole swallowed ships, tearing them asunder. I remember being astounded the first time I sailed through a nebula, eager to find whatever mysteries lay behind the pink clouds. It defied my expectations with thrilling action, simplified but tight strategy mechanics, and an above-average soundtrack that really puts you in the mood for, well, being in a ship out in space. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much from an incomplete, licensed game demo bundled with a Happy Meal. The disc came with a trailer for Kingdom Hearts, a music video for I'm Still Here from the Treasure Planet movie, and some images/desktop backgrounds. I first got my hands on this game via a demo disc from McDonald's back when it was first released.
