Is it still worth playing?

An action adventure game developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment and published by Eidos Interactive for the PlayStation in 2000, set in 2050, with three mercenaries in Hong Kong. It mixes survival horror and stealth, and its characters are unshaded and textured to look cel shaded, among the first games to try the technique. The backgrounds are streaming or looping full motion video instead of pre rendered images, so the game comes on four discs. You control one of three mercenaries, Hana, Deke or Glas, through areas filled with human and non human enemies, with puzzles between the action. The controls are survival horror tank controls, but the characters can run and shoot at once, shoot two enemies with two guns, and duck and roll. A film like presentation still gives it a style of its own.
