Is it still worth playing?

Django, a vampire hunter, uses a Solar Gun that fires bolts of sunlight to save a city overrun by the undead, in this 2003 action role playing game for the Game Boy Advance. The cartridge has a light sensor, and the game encourages playing parts of it in direct sunlight. On first launch it asks for the time and your time zone, so the daylight in the game matches yours. You can store sunlight in batteries to play in the dark for a set time, and beating the bosses requires playing outdoors. Hideo Kojima produced and designed it. A sequel followed in 2004 without him, and a third game came in 2005 only in Japan. A cartridge that reacts to real sunlight still gives each session a different feel.
