I just got this game for my birthday(which is today) and i also got some of those d_skin disc protectors which worked horribly because it ruined my game. Every time it gets near a part with dialog or a loading screens the CD sounds like it is clicking inside of the ps2 and just stops making the noise and starts all over again.After about 5 minutes of this it finaly loads or says the dialog.None of my other games did this just the ones that i put the d_skins on but back to my point this game is awsome i highly recommend it to anyone who like action games.
