do all your other games work perfectly fine???

that scratch noise is the laser trying hard to read your cd.

either 2 things

1)the cd is fucked up

or

2) your lens is fucked up

try a bunch of different games,if they run perfectly,exchange the disc you bought for another one. all places should replace it for you

If you have the first version of PS2, then some games just don't work on it, nothing you can do about it. If you have a later version, do what bigmack said. :thumb:

Where did you buy this game from? eBay? Are you sure it's a real disc and not a copy?

If this is a real disc then Bigmack's right, depending on the model of your PS2 the lens is probably fucked. You can get replacement lens but they're quite expensive and taking a PS2 apart is easy, getting it back together with no parts leftover is another story.

One thing I would try if I were you is start your PS2 with no disc in the drive, press TRIANGLE, highlight the "Playstation Driver" option, press TRIANGLE and change the disc speed, if it's fast make it slow, if it's slow make it fast. It's about the only thing you can really change without pulling your PS2 apart.

Failing that if you dont want to fix it yourself, take it to a shop to get it fixed.

Peace

yeah i got it at toy's r us for like 15 bucks. all my other games work fine, but tha bottom of those games are silver. my tiger woods game was blue too and at first it worked fine, but one day it started scratching and it didn't work so i broke it in half.
