Is it still worth playing?

Set in the 1960s during the Cold War, with a single player campaign that follows the CIA operative Alex Mason, this 2010 first person shooter came out for Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. A Nintendo DS version also exists. The player is a foot soldier who can wield various firearms, though only two at once, throw grenades and use other equipment as weapons. A close enough player can kill with one knife blow. There are three stances, standing, crouching and prone, which affect movement, accuracy and stealth, and the player can drop to prone while running and can sprint briefly. The screen glows red to show damage, and health regenerates over time. A campaign through the Cold War is still a setting worth seeing today.
