    I don't quite understand the the low scores. this game is exactly what the community was asking for. I saw no glitches whatsoever and the game play felt miles better on console compared to my phone. so yeah If you like grand theft auto get this over gta unexpaned and unenhanced version

    The game feel really out dated and are not very fun to play I thought I might be good to try them out I’ve never played them before they are awful San Andreas definitely feels better then the other two I can’t believe rock star would sell them it felt like a waste of money they really need to be remade fro, the ground up not remastered

    10/10 it's that simple. 3 games in one disc is amazing... the mechanics on each game is fantastic, the graphics have improved dramatically, the physics of the player/character is cool, I've only encountered a problem once on the GTA San Andreas, other than that, I've not encountered a problem on the other 2 games... it's easily one of the best remasters I've ever played.

    A GTA 3? Terrible. Removing the fog simply spoiled the experience an incredible amount. The game is too dark in a lot of places. And to that comes a lot of missing music and cheat code. But there are good moments in it, but they really drag the game down.

    Pathetic and embarassing puritanical woke and PC crap! Everything GTA has always been against! Don't support woke/PC and puritan products and companies, especially if those products were originally conceived in a different way and with a different target, certainly non NPC SJWs and neo-puritans! So this is also book burning! Remember, "Get WOKE, go BROKE"!

    Do not buy this game, I repeat: Do NOT buy this game. It is a shame to see that greed for money in its purest form led to such a shameful product, staining the formerly good reputation of Rockstar. One of the most hideous and absurd aspects about all this is that this product is called "The Definitive Edition". It should be taken off all stores immediately.

    GTA 3 is my #6 top game of all time! This is the game that started it all in 3d open world play. The game is really fun to go back to after many years away from it. It still holds up in 2021 as a playable experience. The missions are fun- and many are pretty short at the beginning. Several missions are pretty challenging.

Several missions are pretty challenging. Overall it’s great to cause havoc in Liberty City! The Definitive Edition has taken some hits for its initial state. I played it after patches- and I only saw one floating car & one floating lamp post. There were also some pretty wild looking pedestrians in the game. There were no other glitches that I experienced. I’m glad I bought this and played it again. I will definitely play it again sometime in the future.

    GTA Vice City Definitive Edition- 12/24/21

    GTA 3 is my #6 top game of all time! But I really debated between that & Vice City. This game is really my favorite GTA game. It’s aesthetics of the 1980s Miami are outstanding. It has my favorite soundtrack of any game ever. It also has perhaps the best voice cast of all time. It’s been a long time since I played it. Something that stood out is that the map is really quite small compared to today’s open world games. I can see why this was originally an expansion for GTA 3. But I love playing as Tommy Versetti. I really hope the rumors are true that GTA 6 might be partly set back in Vice City. I really didn’t see any glitches in the Definitive Edition- except some wild looking pedestrians. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you have to meet certain requirements to open up the last mission. I don’t like to have to grind just to be able to finish a game. Overall, it was a great experience to go back to. Definitely still enjoyable in 2021. I will play it again sometime in the future.    … Expand

    GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition brings all the fun of the classic games of the series that has always seen its career rise. However, it shows a hard fall with this remaster due to a lack of work in its execution.

    This comeback of the three GTA classics feels superficial and poorly optimized, although some improvements are clearly visible. It's not the remaster we were hoping for, but these are still immortal classics that can still entertain and sometimes even amaze. And sometimes that's all we need.
