Is it still worth playing?

CyberConnect2's 2013 fighting game for PlayStation 3, based on Hirohiko Araki's manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It has 40 characters from the first eight story arcs and one guest from another Araki manga, fighting in locations taken from the books. It is a 3D fighter in which you win a round by draining the opponent's stamina or by having more left when time runs out. Play uses five main buttons: light, medium and heavy attacks, a dodge and a Style button. Each character has a Battle Style that adds moves when you press Style, in five categories, Hamon, Vampirism, Mode, Stand and Mounted, plus some Styles exclusive to one character. A Hamon user can power up attacks, while a Stand user summons a Stand for extra moves at the cost of being more vulnerable. You still have plenty of ways to play, since the Styles change what each fighter can do.
