    I know that this was one of the gtas and one of the most important games in the world, but unfortunately it has aged a lot, not only in the graphics that were a little out of date for the time, but also in the very slow and primitive gameplay.

    Самый революционный открытый мир, экшен от третьего лица и просто лучшая игра возвращается на PlayStation 4. Порт с PS2-версии может похвастаться разрешением в Full HD, трофеями и различными "некст-ген" фишками. Отличный повод понастольгировать, а трофея-хантерам - повыбивать ачивки и получить ещё одну платину в копилку.Самый революционный открытый мир, экшен от третьего лица и просто лучшая игра возвращается на PlayStation 4.

    I'm going to get the bad out of the way. The upscaling and PS2 graphics make this a little difficult to getting used to playing it on a bigger TV. With that said, the trophy support and fresh coat of paint, does make the game look cleaner.

    Now for the actual about the gameplay; GTA III is a MUST PLAY for all fans of the series. Folks that got into GTA AFTER the Playstation 2 era,    I'm going to get the bad out of the way.

    Now for the actual about the gameplay; GTA III is a MUST PLAY for all fans of the series. Folks that got into GTA AFTER the Playstation 2 era, have got to start their visit with GTA III first.

    In terms of difficulty GTA III always seemed harder than the 4 or 5, in some aspects you have to trick the AI during certain missions. (Fortunately, R* figured that out and improved) But in some ways, I kind of miss that sharp incline in difficulty, as it made you want to improve on your next try.

    Quite honestly, it was refreshing to go back into GTA III and play it; it was fun and there were a lot of things I'd forgotten about the game that was good to get back into!!

    As for the story, newcomers may be turned off by the main character's silent protagonist/anti-hero/maniac personality. It's well written, but silent protagonist are a love hate thing; fortunately Claude is a well executed character that will grow on you, even if he's...quiet.

    Just note, the controls are a bit different for the game and THERE IS NO MAP!! (The PS2 version gave you a physical map when you bought it.) Thank God for the internet, as now you can find one in a second. That and there is a minimap. Shooting does take a little getting used to. Once you get the hang of it, you're good, though.

    OVERALL: GTA III reintroduces itself in same way we remember it, but with a fresh coat of paint. It still is the classic GTA experience outside of the original top-down titles.    … Expand

    Amazing experience, but you have to remember that this game is from 2001 !!
    I enjoyed the crap out of it on my PS4. Controls are outdated, but you can get used to it.
    Such a bummer that Rockstars are wankers that removed original Trilogy from all stores, including PS Store, and now you have to purchase "rEmAsTeReD" (massacred) version of this trilogy to be able to play the original versions.

    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.
