Is it still worth playing?

Rockstar Leeds' 2009 action adventure, made with Rockstar North for the Nintendo DS in March 2009. It is the thirteenth Grand Theft Auto, set in modern day Liberty City, a fictional satire of New York City, and follows the young Triad member Huang Lee. You play in an open world with a fully rotatable camera angled down at the action, and cel shaded polygons with black outlines give it a comic book look. You can lose wanted stars by destroying police cars, one for each star level. You can also deal drugs, profiting by reading market conditions in each part of the city. It still has a look of its own, with a camera that looks down on an open city and outlined comic book shapes.
