At least in my case, this has nothing to do with a laser needing adjustment or cleaning.
For one, i tried adjusting the laser and it didn't change in any way regarding this problem and second, i have about 80 games, and not a single other game exhibiting such behaviour.
Edit:
Maybe collect disc numbers that do have this problem, possibly we can identify if there are indeed working/non working discs?
My faulty PAL-copy has the number MK-51035-0102SS on its underside, near the center of the disc.
