Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 1998 survival horror game for the PlayStation, produced by Shinji Mikami and directed by Hideki Kamiya, with tank controls over fixed pre rendered backgrounds. Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer, and Claire Redfield, a college student, have to escape Raccoon City after a biological weapon turns its citizens into zombies, two months after the first game. You play Leon or Claire, each with an A and a B scenario linked by the Zapping System. Ammunition and carrying capacity are limited, and typewriters save with ink ribbons, with item boxes to store things. Each scenario ends with a rank, and unlockable modes include The 4th Survivor and The To-fu Survivor. Scarce ammo and limited saves force routing decisions, and four scenarios retell one story, which is the reason to play it now.
