No it wont, unless you have a device to change the signal from PAL to NTSC attached to your tv, there is a cable also that does that, or if you have a modchip installed in your psa that can read pal games.

I didn’t even know they made a PS2 game of that. It’s been a PSP game for a while, also never releasing in the states. :\
Anyway, the sad answer is that NO, UK Ps2 games will NOT work on a US PS2. Ps2 games are region coded. Even if you broke the region coding with a software or hardware hack, you’d still need a TV capable of receiving a PAL signal, or a signal converter in order to even see/hear it.
It really sucks that games are region coded on all the console Playstations. Fortunately, though, the PSP games are NOT region coded (UMD movies are, though). It’s possible to get a UK or Japanese PSP game
and play it on a US or AU PSP. I have Free Running for my PSP, even though it’s the UK version. If you have a PSP, you could get it for that. The PS2 game looks like pretty much the same game, but with higher
res graphics.
