Just out of curiosity, did you buy it used from a retail store like gamestop/game or did you buy it online e.g. ebay? Pre-owned games are normally checked thoroughly before their put back on sale to ensure they work correctly if their from retail stores.

Gamestop. I'm sure they checked it and it ran at the time, but it certainly didn't run when they sold it to me.

Could have also been a problem with your ps2 laser, i had to open up my ps2 a couple of times to clean the laser because i bought it at launch and it kept getting dirty over time and started to become picky about which games it ran (if at all). This gen i've probably borrowed about 20 used games from friends (sharing is caring) or brought them and all have worked perfect just like knew.
