God of War.. gets stuck at Loading towards end of the game.

[Chrushev]

Well Im prolly less than an hour from the end of the game, and its in the same spot that it gets stuck at "Loading" and music starts to jitter... i let it sit there for 3+ minutes and nothing...

have tried reburning it...

im using Tayo Yuiden burning at 4X

Ive done some google searches and people report this happening even on retail copy, not in this same spot tho... even earlier or later than where I am.

My thoughts are that the content is on the outer edge of the DVD and cant be read?...

anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?

PS - All other games play flawlessly...

Wierd.. i just let it sit there for about 10 minutes and it finally loaded... seems like that spot is the only problematic spot.. been playing since then and no problems... even ran into couple movies which showed without a flaw..

when I reload the game i still encounter that spot.. just have to wait forever for it to load... wierd =/

you shouldn't use downloaded games.. or try looking for better rip or your laser has some problems with DVD9 games.

if you got a dvd5 game it will stuck with loading for so long try to wait or buy an original dvd9 god of war game ..... hope to work well as mine

I also got a DVD5-rip and having the same problem..

I'm at Pandoras Temple near the top I think and I've just got the 2nd necklace (after avoiding some spikes) and sometime after that it freezes when Loading. Well I'll try waiting
