    I mean yes, it's a classic, but couldn'tyou at least have put in updated controls. It's really hard to play and not really enjoyable anymore.

    It's the classic game but with the same **** controls. You'd think they'd at least put a "Setup 4" option in controls where all controls are modernised.

    It honestly feels like there was 0 effort put into porting this to the PS4.

    Not to be rude or anything, I don't like GTA III. The reason is that first of all, it is PS2 graphics on PS4. Second, shooting is terrible. GTA III wasn't a good option for PS4.

    Although this game may have been an ambitious classic when it released, playing this game now is just unfun and frustrating. Though you would expect a gta game to deliver in areas like driving and shooting, they are both incredibly horrible. Every car drives as though it is on a frozen lake. This makes driving dreadful and that is what you do for the majority of the game. This isAlthough this game may have been an ambitious classic when it released, playing this game now is just unfun and frustrating. Though you would expect a gta game to deliver in areas like driving and shooting, they are both incredibly horrible. Every car drives as though it is on a frozen lake. This makes driving dreadful and that is what you do for the majority of the game. This is exacerbated by the fact that cars are extremely weak when it comes to their durability and when they are flipped over, they explode after just a few seconds. I've had to redo many missions because of this. Shooting is not much better. You need to be very close to enemies to even target them. This results in you having to take damage in nearly every altercation. There is the sniper rifle, which is nice because you don't need to be close to enemies, but controlling that is not the most comfortable because it only goes in four directions. Additionally, after every mission you get money, but unless a mission prompts you to buy ammo and guns at a weapon shop, I have no idea where to go to spend the money. I don't want to look it up because I should not have to. I should have an icon on my map indicating where to spend my money. Because there is no indication, this makes the reward I get from missions (money) almost meaningless. I got through only about 30 missions before I decided that enough was enough, and I would no longer waste my time playing the game because I was not having fun. I will say that it does lay a great framework for the future 3D gta games, but there is no reason to go back to this one when the others improve upon it in every way possible.… Expand

    Newcomers to Grand Theft Auto III would giggle at the primitive graphics, spoiled by the advancements of the past 15 years. For seasoned gamers however, Grand Theft Auto III was the absolute tits back in the day and I really enjoyed playing it again. Sure, I paid out my butt for it but that was my choice, no one forced me to do it. Now, if you don’t mind, I’ve got a platinum trophy to nail.
