That's a problem on your ps2 since that part reads the second layer of the disc. Remember GoW2 is a DVD9.
Also, you already pointed out that you're using a pirated version so that's why your ps2 didn't or cannot read
the second layer of the disc.
There are many version releases out there of GoW2 (i'm talking pirate here)
a. the dvd9 (dual-layered) version (all things fully intact nothing ripped)
b. the dvd5 (single-layered) version (videos are downsampled to the max, in which it resulted a crappy movie
quality which s*cks as i've already seen the difference of the downsampled one and the full version)
c. the 2 discs version (you saved at the great chasm on disc one, then start the second disc when you
load the great chasm again)
by the way, there is supposed to be a cutscene at the place where you're stucked up.
a cutscene between icarus and kratos.
Here's a discussion from gamespot

the first release (original dvd9) has the same problem as some had already reported it though they have
already replaced it with another copy and it works. Remember this is just only on the original version of the
game not the pirated.
So my suggestions if you're still looking for a pirated copy
try the dvd5 or the 2 disc version. That should help your ps2
read the 2nd part of the game. It's probably on your modchip
that's why you're having a problem. Anyway, good luck!
