We have this playstation 2 game (the sim's) and my stupid brother scratched it and now when we put it in to play the PS2 says the disk can't be read but when we put other disks in, it works perfectly
are there any great ways to get scratches off the CD or maybe a place i can go on the web that can give me all kinds of ways i can get scratchs of the CD?

There is something you can buy for that, you rub it on and it kind of fills in the scratches so it will play smoothly. I don't think it's that expensive, and you can probably get it wherever cd's are sold.

Once a CD is scratched there's no way of repairing it (especially if it's already so badly scratched it won't work). However I once had a scratched copy of the sims. I sent a very polite email to EA games. They wrote back saying if I send them the scracthed CD they'll send me a brand new one for free, which was nice.
Try to find a way of contacting the people who make the game and see what they say.

I read somewhere that toothpaste works, but I haven't tried it. My dad has this cd cleaner, I think he bought it for like 5 or 10 bucks. It has this circular sponge thing that you put special cleaner or alcohol on and then you close it and turn the cd using a little latch on the outside. Whatever you do, if you decide to clean the cd yourself without anything special, do NOT go in a circular pattern right around the cd! It'll wipe out your cd for good! Good luck!

You could go to a game or a local department store and get a scatch kit ($15-20). have you tried toothpaste?

I use dish detergent (liquid) and carefully wash them. Then dry them by dabbing (not rubbing). Also note, do not rub them in circles, only strait lines from the center to the outside edge.
