What game is it? Is it the same title?

I would recommend cleaning your PS2 laser lense with any DVD laser lens cleaning disc.

Also, if your PS2 is mounted Horizontal, then try flipping it so that it is vertical.

I have had mine mounted verticle since I bought it (mostly like the look better) and have never had an issue.

if neither of these two things work, then I would try another game. If another game works, then it sounds like the disc is bad (yet again - hey they crank those things out in the millions).

When you go to bring the game back you may get some weird looks (as this is your second game). Have them try the disc and bring one of your own. Hopefully the disc that fails fails in their PS2 (shelf display) as well.

Post back with your results.

Are you sure the game is region compatible with your PS2?
