Is it still worth playing?

Project Sora's 2012 third person shooter for the Nintendo 3DS, set in a world based loosely on Greek mythology. The angel Pit serves the Goddess of Light, Palutena, against Medusa, the Goddess of Darkness. Missions mix aerial rail shooter segments with ground segments that have both linear paths and free roaming areas. Before each mission you set the difficulty, called Intensity, by betting hearts in the Fiend's Cauldron, from the very easy 0.0 to the highly difficult 9.0. Defeating enemies earns hearts, the currency. Pit fights with long range gun like weapons and close quarters melee, with weapon types such as bows, claws, blades and clubs. Every mission is still a wager you place yourself, by betting your own hearts to set the difficulty.
