Some changes...

* Rule breaker can transfer control over any servant it hits; during the second play through, Caster keeps taking extra servants under her. Including Saber and Archer.
* When the line comes "Caster, you should kill them outright instead of just making them sleep, that would be easier for all of us.", it's Archer (the red one) and not Kuzuki who says it.
* Archer is non-nerfed like in the anime.
* When Caster starts getting weak, Archer kills her and takes over as main Villain.
* You find out how the non-mage Kuzuki got a servant.
* How the non-mage Shinji got his servant.

So yes, it's worth playing because it's far better than the anime.
More like there are alternative routes you can take. The anime only animated the Fate route(first route) and mixed a little bit of the other two route, which caused some things to not make sense. The game, on the other hand, tells a much greater tale, but it takes quite long to finish playing it. One of the longest Visual Novel I have seen so far.
