    I played Grand Theft Auto III - Definitive Edition in 2022 and thought it was a good game that I liked.

    I haven't played the original GTA III, so I can't make comparisons with the Remastered game.

    "Remastering" By the looks of it, I can say that the graphics and lighting have great improvements. And this is how a Remastered game should be. Improvement in graphics, lighting and sounds.

    "Base Game"
    The game itself has lots of problems. Of course, the things I'm going to mention wasn't problem when the original game came out.
    The AI is so annoying when you're trying to drive like a normal human!
    The police AI was also pain in the a**!
    Considering the lack of activities to do in the game, its story is too long and repetitive.
    I really loved the radio's music in the game. They were just perfect!

    I believe this game gets hate because of three things.
    1. People were expecting news about GTA VI and publishing this game meant people have to wait even more.
    2. People were expecting a remake not a remastered. I, myself, was expecting a GTA-V-looking remake and I was disappointed when the trailer came out.
    3. They couldn't even make a good playable remastered! Lots of bugs and performance issues were unacceptable. And this is main reason for hate. Though I must say the updates and efforts to make the game good is admirable.
