**PS2 software that has bugs**

Post the name of the game and what bugs you have noticed, if it crashes etc. Or just any games that have crashed/locked up, any skipping music or just small faults.

Useful to see what names crop up several times.

Console games used to be relatively bug free but that is not strictly the case anymore.

I\'ll start:

Crazy Taxi

Skipping music
\'Disc Read Error\' when mirror cheat on org track is used
Crashed once
Dissapearing scenery

All are pretty rare, I have had 3 copies now and ALL had EXACTLY the same bugs.


I did have a faulty copy of DOA2, would have trouble reading in new background, screen would fade to white and drive would skip back and forth trying to read the disc. Replacement works fine.


Anyone else?

Well my copy of Tokyo Xtreme Racer locked up. Im hoping this isn\'t a reoccuring problem, meaning that the game is playable. It could be any number of reasons.

Escape from Monkey Island:

Seemingly random game freezes.

Rayman Revolution hangs by the Ice Boss, at the exact same location..
Plus you can warp through diffrent doors sometimes.

Its damn fun anyways.. (RR that is, not the bugs.)

ok the disappearing scenery was because it was a port from the dreamcast, and the developers had to make "popup" and the people who ported it over could not change the game at all, so it stayed the same...

Yeah it sucked that, them not letting them improve the game at all.

Smuggler\'s Run: No music and less sound effects: In the first production of SR in Germany there are these bugs.

I had some problems with Crazy Taxi so I took it back

I\'m not trying to sound like a moaning old b%^#rd  but..

Are dreamcast games this buggy? Do they freeze? Do they screw up?  (i don\'t own one, just asking )

Is it the ps2 sucking or is it just developers screwing up?

I sure hope it\'s the second one!!

I didn\'t mean the popup, that\'s not really a bug, I meant sometimes the whole ground dissapears, people with the game also claim the whole level dissapears sometimes! never happened to me though.

Whoa nearly forgot about Midnight Club Street Racing. I can\'t remember all the bugs in that game but there was a few, none of which stopped you completing the game. It seems to be more bad programming. I remember one where you couldn\'t use the rear view if you had accelerated, you had to press brake first, even if it was just for a second.

CRAZY TAXI!

And yes, TXR0 had locked up once.... Hasn\'t happened since then, which I am totally grateful for.

That\'s funny, I justy went and tried everything you said and I didn\'t have any problem!  I don\'t remeber any bugs in Midnight Club at all!

Might be something to do with the PAL version. Can\'t remember the other bugs. I sold it anyway and I doubt that its anything to do with my PS2 being broke. Probably either I explained it funny or NTSC is different to PAL.

Let us not forget falling endlessly below the "Pipe Dream" course in SSX. Happened to me about 3 times; I managed to get underneath the track while pulling off a trick, everything was black and  I could see the course above me getting smaller and smaller. My trick points were in the hundreds of thousands, but since I had to press the select button, the trick value was became void. I remember others having a similar experience with SSX.
