I recently bought Gran Turismo 4: Prologue and although the game works fine, i think i have a faulty copy. the games takes FOREVER to load, i dont just mean load the game i mean everything, suck as menus, pictures of cars when selecting them. In the amount of time it takes to load is unreal, i almost fell asleep.(as i was playin late at night and was tired). It takes at least 4 minutes for the game to start up, it just stays at the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe bit, then takes at least 2 minutes to change from one menu to the next. It may sound like a short time, but when your sitting there waiting for it to load it feels like years!

I would be grateful if someone who has or has played the game could tell me how long it takes them to load. Coz if it loads faster than mine i will go and get another copy of the game. thanx guys

It shouldn't be that slow. It only takes a couple of seconds for the cars to load on the selection screens - Same with changing between menus, but it takes a bit longer to load tracks in when you're starting a race. Is the game a pirate copy or an original?

Well mine is an original. I bought it for 20 pounds (sorry my pound sign dosen't work).
My friend has a pirate copy of the game and says that happens to him.
Eh..im not sure what to do..I think i will take it back and get a new one.

@ndy

It's very unlikely there'd be one copy that's dodgy, or even a batch. More likely it's your PS2 playing up, or if it's happening to your friend too, maybe there's a certain model of PS2 it does this on (although it is claimed that every PS2 game should run perfectly on every PS2). Or maybe you guys have your PS2 chipped and that's causing it? Many possibilities... I dunno. 8/
