Problem playing GTA3.

I bought my GTA3 around launch, played a lot, game worked perfectly. Some months later my brother lends it to his friend. First now I get it back and my PS2 can\'t play the game.

First problem:
The first loading screen takes ages to load.

Second problem:
The intro cut-scene loads, but the first beginning sounds repeat over and over. After some time a white box appears on the screen with text in it: Can\'t read the GTA3 DVD... or something.


Any help on this is greatly apreciated. (and no \'don\'t let your brother lend any more games\', I need real help with getting the game fixed)

Buy a Game Doctor and clean the disc.

Nothing like that in any shops here. I\'ve heard GTA3 won\'t play if there are a few scratches. The disc has some scratches, all small.

Should be. If you have a local electronics boutique, they(i think) would be the most likely to have it. it looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UMZZ/qid=1031014378/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-8340524-4963949?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846 ....I also think Game Doctor would be the best solution/ you could be mean and make the friend(if he did scratch it) to buy a new one but its up to you.

Looks like you learned an important lesson about lending things to people you don\'t know.

I told you not to give me that kind of advice:

Turtle wax works alright.

yeah just clean it up.... and hope it works, if not do the swap trick...


buy a new one, then swap the discs, then get your money back.... that if the scratches are small enough not to be really noticed

If only there was a place in town that sold PS2 games.... there is one place but it has a crap selection.

then order the game in

Where do you  live Echo? If nothing else - there is CD cleaners that you can buy at your local music store. They are not quite as good as the \'Game Doctor\' though. If you\'re dead set on a \'Game Doctor\' and can\'t find anyone where you live, you\'ll  have to hit up online stores.
