A friend of mine let me hold tony hawk 2 and his cd has no scratches on it. when i copy it , it takes about 1 hour and 30 mins because its dummied. When i go to free skate they me to pick my character and the game loads, then when they tell to push a to start , the game freezes. on his copy it works fine though.

Try doing cd copy from the same cd recorder and try burning at a lower speed. (if it took 1 hour and a half to burn it then you probally already did that)

this problem also happen to me. i got tony 2 through a trade and when i choose free skate, the game load and then i press a, the game just restart. the career mode the game just freeze. so far i can only play free skake twice. i booted up this game like 7 times.
