no there is no inserts and I have a plain box for it but I think that you can find out the directions on it on the internet, this game does have scratches on it and I was also told that it does work and I don't have a PlayStation 2 to check it out for myself so this is what I'm gonna do, if it doesn't work send me an email and I'll see what I can do as far refunding your credits and you can still keep the game. Thanks for your bid.
