    I’m giving it an 8 as it’s not perfect but it definitely kept the nostalgia, the game is actually playable again with gta 5 style controls, playing it on the Ps2 now is just so clunky and unplayable, god knows how I managed to play it all them years ago, people crying about this game clearly don’t understand remaster and get it confused with remake, I’m enjoying reliving my youth thanksI’m giving it an 8 as it’s not perfect but it definitely kept the nostalgia, the game is actually playable again with gta 5 style controls, playing it on the Ps2 now is just so clunky and unplayable, god knows how I managed to play it all them years ago, people crying about this game clearly don’t understand remaster and get it confused with remake, I’m enjoying reliving my youth thanks rockstar… Expand

    Хороший ремастер. Графика приятная глазу (в гта 3 графика попроще канешн, но это и первая игра трилогии). Музыка на 99% сохранена, и то что вырезали не особо то и заметно. Управление наконец то стало нормальным.

    Different, could be better, but nice indeed. I really recommend you to try it yourself. Many negative reviews due to high expectations.

    We finally got something from Rockstar Games other than GTA V & GTA Online #NoMoreGTAV #NoMoreGTAOnline.

    It absolutely worth a try, but it doesn’t worth 60$. To be honest, they had to work more on it, they had to add more features, they had to change the gameplay. But overall, it’s good and worth a try.

    Little bit lags and small time bugs on PS4, but nothing that interupt gameplay, graphic is awesome and modern control is simply lovely! It’s REMASTERED EDITION NOT REMAKE!!!

I think that if you wanted to play GTA: SA but you don’t want those lower quality graphics (obviously understandable given its original ‘04 release date) and hate those stupid controls on planes etc. then get it! Is it worth the $33 AUD per game? Maybe not? But some people are saying that because they bought the original that they should get the DE for free, that’s stupid, no matter how little work you think they put in or however much they did, they still reworked it quite a bit, I like the graphics, I like the game, and I definitely enjoy playing it.

    What is wrong with everyone? This is everything I hoped for and more when I found out that this trilogy was getting a *REMASTER*. I feel like the people down-voting these games just haven't managed their expectations well at all. This wasn't a ground-up remake yet everyone seems to be losing their minds over it like it was supposed to bring these games up to GTA V level of "realism". It's ridiculous.

    Anyway back to the game. I've only been playing Vice City really as its always been my favourite and all of the changes made (resolution, lighting, colour vibrancy, reflective puddles, upgraded textures etc.) are an absolute treat to say the least. Really gives the city an extra dimension and enough has been preserved for genuine fans of the originals like myself to enjoy these titles as intended but also in a new light. I've not been using many of the new gameplay enhancments such as the weapon wheel or modern controls but being able to pan the camera around when walking with Tommy Vercetti (rather than it going into an awkward first-person view) just feels fantastic. A breath of fresh air honestly. No clunkiness, no awkwardness, just Vice City looking and feeling more beautiful and more immersive than ever before. The radio stations keeping so many of the tracks from the original is an absolute blessing and honestly the thing I was most worried about but they nailed it.

    Back to the people complaining about this game - Get your head out of your ass. Yes it's 2021 but not every open world game has to look and feel like a GTA V clone to be relevant. Did these people even play the originals? Because from what I'm seeing it seems like they didn't even like the originals when you consider that this *REMASTER * retains everything that was great about the game back in 2002 yet offers a much needed upgrade to keep these classics feeling as fresh as they felt on release 20 years ago. Only thing keeping me from giving it a 10/10 really is the price point. £35 would've been a lot fairer for what we're getting and the fact that they didn't release the games separately day 1 on the store stings a bit as I never played much of GTA III so wouldn't have bought it on its own but had to buy it in a bundle because I wanted Vice City & San Andreas.    … Expand

I’m having fun with these games and if they were 10/10 back then, then I’d say they are a solid 7 right now due to the various bugs and glitches, though none of them are game changing.

    This remaster is a joke and just a cash grab. Doing the bare minimum and stíl made a 20 year old game worse on modern consolse. The fact they hid the gameplay before launch and took down the old versions to charge full price was two fingers to consumers.

    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.
