Is it still worth playing?

Rockstar North's 2008 action adventure for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a Windows version the same year, on the RAGE engine. It mixes linear missions with a free roaming open world in Liberty City, a fictional city based on New York. You play Niko Bellic, an immigrant who arrives in the city and is pulled into crime through his cousin Roman. There is a cover system and auto aim, the wanted level is capped at six stars, and health regenerates by eating or using medical kits. A cell phone arranges dates, unlocks missions and gives access to multiplayer, and side activities include bowling, darts, a cabaret club and a comedy club. Morality choices alter the story. Today it is still a satirical Liberty City full of radio, TV and side activities, with a story of conflicting choices.
