    Games are awesome, but this is worthless. This is not a remaster. The community did a much better job.
    This is another way for Rockstar taking your money. Better to buy the games on the second hand market or spend your money elsewhere.

    The best thing about this 'remaster' is the mission where you successfully get a refund.

    Terrible character faces straight out of a Lego game. Blocky and clunky. This is downright lazy game design. The main characters are smooth and well designed. Everyone else looks like a block of wood or a potato. Glitches everywhere. There are so many typos in the game. Words, signs and businesses have misspelling's.

    The sun soaked orange tint of San Andreas has been removed. Game is glaringly clear, no fog. Rain looks like falling MILK from the sky, to the point its actually disruptive and gamers have to stop playing until the rain quits.

    No love went into this game. No care to detail. No passion.
    This is a half assed, rushed cash grab.

    Don’t buy this!

    I got crashes, terrible frame rate, cars appear out of nowhere, invisible walls

    Honestly I feel scammed for paying 55£ for this, I wish I could get a refund but PSN won’t do it

    Never falling for these jokers again, next time I’m waiting for the reviews

    It’s not the game people want. Fans want GTA 6 and for R* to stop milking past games.
    Only thing they’ve done with this is sharpen the resolution and improve textures and draw distance. Granted it looks better than it did 20 yrs ago but it’s still miles off the pace of modern games. The characters still move like they did in the ps2 era. Only reason i’d play this is for nostalgia.    It’s not the game people want. Fans want GTA 6 and for R* to stop milking past games.

    As vezes, tenho a impressão de que GTA the trilogy não é uma preservação em si, e sim uma maneira de ganância nítida. E uma maneira de estragar os gta's clássicos, transformaram grades jogos em grande abominações.

Take a look at the past, gta 3,vice city, san andreas when the game was first released, that's what drew players to this game, and to celebrate these three games they released a terrible remake , ugly, plasticized. Too lazy to let the AI update the graphics on its own, the old Rockstar is already dead. Now only care about money and money and I promise to use the gta 6 crack game. Never waste money on a **** game company like this again!… Expand

    I really had to make an account for this review. The game is honestly disappointing and thats somehow worse than if it was just bad. You can tell that some things just aren't right, whether it be the character models (we've all seen the screenshots ranging from Vice City to San Andreas) to the background gags. The latter of the two has been explained by them using an AI to upscale and thenI really had to make an account for this review. The game is honestly disappointing and thats somehow worse than if it was just bad. You can tell that some things just aren't right, whether it be the character models (we've all seen the screenshots ranging from Vice City to San Andreas) to the background gags. The latter of the two has been explained by them using an AI to upscale and then simply messing up along the way and thats how we get AR GUITARS instead of AIR GUITARS which kind of ruins the intended joke. For everything they do bad, one thing that was good they added were checkpoints. With how finicky the gameplay can be and the slightest bump can cause you to have to restart a mission, Im glad I dont have to drive all the way back. Theres nothing once the mission starts so nothing really spectacular, it just saves you a few minutes total if youre having a hard time on a mission. The stuff that feels like it was overlooked and left as was gun gameplay as well as car handling and gameplay. It was said to have redefined gun mechanics but the most in vice city is that it may lock on better but it still feels the same, just with a nice upgrade to the graphics. I was also hoping to maybe have some mechanics that have been around since the mid 2010s with GTA IV and V like being able to crouch and move in Vice City. If youre not going to give us better gameplay with guns, can you atleast let me crouch along a wall while also moving? The car gameplay aspect is really the same for better or worse, so ya know, do with that as you will. $60 feels like a blatant rip off and I can't refund this game because the nice 2 hour mark that Sony gives. The bugs dont really start showing until later in the game so youre past the point of return. One thing that is kind of funny is seeing the reactions for the rain, its not awful in Vice City and SA but 3 was hard at times to see literally anything while driving. I havent checked but Ive heard the original trilogy was delisted, and I hope thats wrong because Id hate for them to be taken away and replaced by a team who seemingly ran this series through a washer, ruined jokes by using an AI instead of a person, bettered the quality aside from a bump to the graphics (while sacrificing some character models) and the checkpoint for the start of the mission. This project had no ambition and feels like it was something to pump out by 2021 holidays without genuinely wanting it to be different. Ive heard it be described as "being as you remembered it as a kid" which is accurate. Nothing at the core is changed except youre being charged a AAA game price for a graphic upgrade, and it really isnt even that much of an overhaul. We're not talking about GTA 5 crisp or even GTA IV foot in the doors from SA to 5, it feels like a mobile game at times, those Mafia City type games and its actually really funny when you look at those games and a screen shot of VC. Ive also read that the gym aspect in SA is from the previous mobile version which is just embarrassing. After years of recycling GTA 5 and Online, I was genuinely hoping for just better quality control. Again, Id ideally just not buy it until its on sale for maybe $20ish, and maybe not even then if you were fortunate enough to buy the original trilogy. For a fun ending, Ill talk about a boat checkpoint race that was the deciding factor in this review: The first time my boat landed on another boat and got stuck. I think "Okay, thats not the craziest thing to happen" and quickly move that boat out from under my speedboat. After I do, my boat is stuck in the air and I have to wait until the mission times out. The retry was actually worse because my boat hit a dock 20 seconds in, flew in the air, and got stuck on the post. The really cool thing about VC is that water kills you because youre a grown man who can't swim. So Im stuck inside the boat until the game decides to move me onto the dock, but the kicker is that its not connected to anything so Im stuck. I have to kill myself anyways and lose my items because the game doesnt have the foresight, especially being without the bug, thats almost impossible to do.… Expand

    While it has its rough edges, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is a worthwhile remaster of three classic titles. Its visual overhaul prevents these games from feeling overly dated, and the quality-of-life improvements modernize the experience in a way that meets today’s standards. Sure, its new art style and character models won’t mesh well with everyone, but it may grow on gamers as time goes by. And sure, while these aren’t the “definitive” editions we expected, this is an admirable attempt to introduce three groundbreaking games to a new generation, and I’m glad it exists.
