O el juego original era mucho más mediocre que los que vinieron después, o lo sobredificultearon para alargar la duración.

    La remasterización deja muchísimo que desear en cuanto al nivel gráfico, artístico y el rendimiento... Se ha mejorado, pero la sensación de que el juego va a una velocidad de más debido a los 60fps sigue ahí. Una verdadera lástima.    … Expand

    It’s fun to play but sometimes the game is too hard cuz lack of checkpoints and some **** mechanics. Not really worth 60 dollars

    За бесплатно - можно поиграть. А за ту цену, которую просят за эту трилогию, 1 из 10 - не больше.

    I wouldn't say the game is unplayable, people are never happy. They told you what you was getting and people still moan. The bugs though I can't defend. Needed a bit longer in development, another great game rushed by greedy AAA company's.

    As a first time player to this game I enjoyed it a lot, the colours in the definite edition are unlike any other rockstar game, it really adds a wow sensation. After beating gta 3 the only problem I really had was that there were invisible walls that I would crash into in every 2nd mission and that’s really the only problem I had with this game.

    Without problems and crashes, this trilogy is so perfect. The graphics improvement was great, while maintaining the basic physics of the game.

    The games are good but it's just a reason of the original games and certain things got removed and certain missions are now harder.

    Overall, it is an amazing nostalgic experience if you are one of those die hard GTA fan during its prime. people have mix opinion of this game but i keep myself in the developers shoes and understand what they are really trying to create. from the get go, this is not a 10/10 remastered game but you have to understand that this is 3 big epic GTA games bundled in to one. I believe the developers goal is to update the game's visual while preserving its core recipe of what made this 3 games epic and classic and provide its gamers the nostalgic feel and i believe they were able to achieve that. But its far from perfect. after playing couple of hours, you will notice some lazy work from the developer like the rain, physics, pop-ins. The performance is not acceptable for a current Gen.

    Positives:

    i like the driving and road symmetric way better than GTA5. they change this from new sandbox driving games i don't understand why. i like the mission phasing and its immersion to the world map is way better than GTA5. again they change this. To be more specific, they let you experience the first few missions in the 1st area before you get to the next. this way, it lets you appreciate the change of scenery from time to time and get you more excited how big the map you have yet to explore. The story is surprisingly not bad for a 20 year old game. The story of GTA is supper bad. The character design as i mentioned earlier, is a preservation of nostalgic art style.

    Negatives.

    I hate the radio track if not as bad as GTA5. the performance (FPS) is unacceptable , glitches and lazy remaster in some instances.

    driving realism - 8/10
    road symmetric and traffic lights realism - 8/10
    story - 8/10
    mission phasing and its immersion to the world map - 8/10
    Sandbox - 8/10
    graphics - 8/10
    Radio station - 4/10

    The improved graphics are nice (particularly reflections on cars). I wish the devs would have added a little much-needed polish to these two-decade old games though.
    Bugs and questionable character models can be break immersion.

    I played GTA: San Andreas with a Game Pass subscription. A good remaster, as the game is relevant in our time. But buying for 60 bucks is NEVER!

    Good game if there were no bugs everywhere and if it cost $30 less.
    Too bad not to have remastered like gta 5. The work is minimal for a maximum price...
    Now move your ass and work quickly on GTA 6. We've waited too long and we're starting to get bored..

The graphics can be dazzling, looking really stunning, especially Vice City. The little touches by Grove Street Games, better known by War Drum Studios, are really nice. The only real complaints are of course the infamous bugs and some really bad models that really need to patched out. I would've given this I higher rating if it weren't for the minimal amount of bugs found in different versions of the game, some visual, most often or not game breaking bugs, some horrible models and...no User Music for the PC version? Really?!

    Anyway, this is overall a great way to experience these games. Just wait for Grove Street Games to patch these out and I'm we'll get the real Definitive Edition everyone wants without **** about it. :)    … Expand

    This remaster makes the beloved trilogy very playable on modern consoles, but it's plagued with technical difficulties and bugs which is a shame. I'm enjoying the games a lot because of the nostalgia, but for a 2021 remaster it's kind of unforgiving that this is what we got, especially for 60 € pricetag.

    Games are 10/10
    Remaster 3/10
    I give this 6/10

    It’s all I really wanted. The earlier 3 were almost unplayable. To me, they didn’t age well. All I really wanted was updated controls. I also got a nice bump in resolution, and 60fps. There’s a nice fresh coat of paint, too. So model screw ups here and there, but I’m still appreciative. $20 absolutely worth it considering the originals still for $10…emulated

    Lags (bad optimization) and bugs, horrible CJ model, unreasonably high price. If you close your eyes to this, then the remaster looks good. This is a real remaster, but due to the shortcomings, my maximum rating is 5 out of 10

    It's a ok game. It's good because it's the same old GTA. But talking about the graphics, the city is beautiful and the textures is way cleaner than the original games.
    We can't tell the same when we look at the characters. They look like Play-Doh toys lol. The rain looks like it's raining milk

    Pretty much what you’d expect but with prettier, more colourful cities. Unfortunately, while the environments look improved the character models are just too blocky and at worst, tragically odd looking. The gameplay is slightly smoother but then it had to be or we’d revert to the older cheaper versions.

    Warts-and-all remasters that accept the failings of the original games and make amends where possible, but ultimately too flawed to live up to the name. [Issue#9, p.82]

    From the Definitive Edition of the iconic GTA titles emerged a technically unfinished remaster, which remained halfway. The content is and will always remain timeless, but the way to get to it and to enjoy it is simply not good.

    A textbook example of how not to remaster games from the PlayStation 2 era, these defective "definitive" releases are just desecration of three classic titles that deserve much better treatment.
