I use Alcohol 120% to create an .iso image of the game on my pc hard drive, then again use Alcohol 120% to burn the .iso file to CD/DVD.

Could always be a bad batch of discs. Have you got a mate with another chipped PS2 that you could try one of your burnt discs on?

doubt its the disks because i tried two types, weah i could try a mates, i might just either copy it again and also put it on a -r disk, the -r might work better on my ps2, how come you alcohol and not DVD Decrypter to back up your games

A couple of questions here (and some answers)...
Have you had success with all your other backups and only had problems with nfs2? If yes then you might consider a different media or try ripping it again to get a better read.
If you also had problems with your other rips/backups then you might have your problem with your ps2 itself. I have an old ps2 and my backups always played horribly until I heard about adjusting the laser. That solved my problem 100%, and even GTA:SA, which people all say is a difficult burn, played beautifully on my loved and unfortunately abused system (v4:GT edition). This isn't a cureall for everyone but it seemed to work pretty well as a last resort fix for me...I think Sony didn't really count on this type of service life from these machines.
It's like a man once said - there are no problems, only solutions.

This may be deviating from the original post, but does anyone else see a correlation between burn speeds and media type? I have a Sony DRU-510a and I can't get, in regards to this game, my drive to burn it at anything less than 2x. I always heard burning at 1x is optimal in regards to these situations of burning massive games that use maximum disk space.

radiofree: no this is the first time its happened, iv used ty's and verbatim but im gonna burn again but make a new iso. first and see how it comes out, if that still dosen't work i'll put it on a dvd-r but i hope it its the same for -r because if its not my ps2 works better for -r and i just gotten a hundred ty's +r and don wanna have to buy some -r's

I think your +r's are just fine...I always use the Ritek +r and I think it is the most stable of all the media. I may be wrong here, but I think I remember seeing something somewhere saying that the PS2 is a primarily +r reader first. I don't even know if that is accurate way of putting it...
sounds like it might just be the burn...if you see other massive games or potentially poor-burned games not working too well you can try adjusting the laser. That worked for me when I started seeing the same problem - simple solution is just to rip again though and try that.
