I did not like the gameshark for PS2. It was ruining my system. It always jammed my games, and even caused my system to overheat! I found something much better. It is the Codebreaker for PS2. It doesn't use the same method as the Gameshark. It stores the codes on your memory card that you can save games to, so you can use it on saved games. It also does not take up much room to save new codes on your PS2 memory card. I have entered over 150+ codes and it takes up 150kb's which everyone knows thats not much. So if you are looking for a cheat device, buy the Codebreaker.
Don't get it! It's a trap!!

I broke down and bought a game shark (way overpriced) only for it to tell me that it was not compatible with my system. Apparently, I needed to buy an upgrade cd. For how much I have no idea because I brought it back, got my money back and bought a game.

I just bought the Game Shark 2 (version 1.6) for my PS2 and it does not work with codes you enter yourself. example, Ace Combat4 and Grand Theft Auto3. My advice is to spend the (money) on another game!

The CD for the PS2 failed to work. I never got a menu screen--just a notice asking for a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc. Gee, and here I thought the CD for GS2 WAS a PS2 format disc....Silly me.

I should've saved my $[money]for something more useful than this piece of garbage. It had lots of glitches (game codes would erase, gameshark wouldn't read slot 2 on my PS2), and even if these problems could be solved it would be a waste of time if you want codes for only a few games. Buy a Pelican PS2 Codebreaker instead; it's a product that actually works all the time when you use it.
Don't even bother with this

Disks freeze all the time if they are even recognized. My PS2 NEVER recognizes the Gameshark Memory card! I truly believe that the manufacturer is aware of the inferiority of its product. I have read the instruction manual 4 times over, and their "well, if that doesn't work, then try this...or, this might work on some games" attitude will put them out of business very quickly. I've only had this item for a week, and experiencing any new difficulties, such as those described in the other reviews, will not surprise me at all. There is a lot of money to be made out there for a company who can do this right!

listen to me, if you bought a ps2 in america after 1/4/04 in the US some versions of GS2 dont work on ps2. If you bought it before then it should work just fine.
What's going on here?????

I got my Gameshark for Christmas 2001. And by March 2002 it had died on me. I've noticed a lot of other reviews saying that it's done the same thing to them. It must be a big scam. Oh, and the Playstation 1 disk that comes with it still does work.
