That is your call really. I mean if you like the way it looks, just play it. I seen the game for xbox 360 at Gamestop for $10. I am not sure if the story will tie in with the next one or not but it is still worth playing regardless.
Hey there Nicole. I joined the other day. Glad to see people joining. If he don't let you play it, tell him you got an offer from a stranger online to play on his system...
He will change it tune real fast!
