Confusion rip locks up during Poseidon's Challenge... when under water after you lift teh gate with Poseidon's Sculpture in it.... then you go past save point... go down at poseidon underwater statue... right as you go down is a moving platform that you have to time and hide in dugouts as it passes by...
About second or third "dugout" is where game freezes...
Tested 2 burns on ridata media 1 @ 2x 1 @ 4x... on V12 PS2 with infinity chip..
Side note loaded game save at final battle and that all played out fine to end credits where they just relinked a vid... so hopefully its just this one last glitch to get by.... also notice some choppy soundtrack audio time to time.. no big deal there though....
I have seen multiple people saying they have completed it. Lastly on console-news, so I have a hard time believing that it hangs since you are the only one I have seen saying this....

"::Update
I can confirm the whole game works....I just completed it"
It's most likley your media. And yes it can be your media EVEN though all your other games work.
And the fact that you said you had choppy sound is good evidence that it is indeed the media. Choppy sounds can be one of the problems you get if the ps2 have a hard time reading the disc (I have experienced it myself).
Ridata (ritek made disc's) isn't really the best media these days. Ritek used to be really badass but these days they are average at best. :/
