    We are once again dealing with three great works from the world of video games, it is undeniable. Despite the passing years, the three open-worlds still deliver unforgettable atmospheres and cities teeming with details. The latter precisely are as incredible as they are coherent with these passers-by who go about their business, these multiple secondary axes which add credibility to the whole and especially these new plays of light which sublimate the whole. But it is clear that despite this little more than welcome facelift (which still lacks homogeneity), the experiences show their age. Their gameplay can be dated, especially GTA III which, today, is really difficult to handle. As you can see, this compilation will undoubtedly delight the most curious who want to discover three legends, or even the nostalgic who wish to rediscover the sensations of yesteryear while enjoying a refurbished visual, but will disappoint those looking for more current mechanics.

    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.

    The inherent strengths of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas allow GTA: The Trilogy to be an enjoyable experience on a very fundamental level, but as a remaster – especially as a remaster of three of the greatest games ever made – it falls short of expectations. These games deserve much better, and it’s disappointing that Rockstar doesn’t understand that.

    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.

    Three important video games remastered without passion and care, affected by bugs and crashes: a missed opportunity.

    For two decades, the three GTA games from the PlayStation 2 era symbolized the rise of the open world genre. Their groundbreaking freedom and timeless music gave us memories for life. Now these historic games instantly symbolize what a remaster should absolutely not do.

    Unforgiveably bad, glorified ports of the mobile versions from 10 years ago with a slight lick of paint. This is how Rockstar treats the muchUnforgiveably bad, glorified ports of the mobile versions from 10 years ago with a slight lick of paint. This is how Rockstar treats the much beloved and revered original 3D trilogy by handing the games off to a developer whom either didn't care or wasn't given the support and budget to produce something better. Riddled with bugs, graphical glitches and horrible character models that somehow look worse than their two decade old originals. The much touted GTA V design elements that were supposed to help modernise these games amount to nothing more than a weapon wheel and passable aiming. It takes a special kind of ineptitude to make 20 year old games running on a modern engine to perform so poorly on the latest generation of consoles. The fact Rockstar have the gall to charge £60 for this dumpster fire and call it a "Definitive Edition" is laughable and just outright insulting. These games deserved so much better. Fans of these games desrved better. The only reason this score isnt zero is because the original games are still fun to play. Shame on you Rockstar.… Expand

    The Worst Remaster ever. Just Trash - Stay Away, Not Worth A Purchase. A lot of Glitches and Bugs. A Money Grab. No QC

    Zero effort went into this trilogy so zero is the score it will get. How this game was released is beyond me. Oh wait, it's greedy devolves. AZero effort went into this trilogy so zero is the score it will get. How this game was released is beyond me. Oh wait, it's greedy devolves. A quick Google search will lead you to unlimited meme worthy in game images. It's obvious that Rockstar has given up and is just going to milk Shark Cards. Sad to see.

    From a company like rockstar, this is a horrendous upset.
    I expected better, and what I get is a buggy, unpolished, unplayable mess.    From a company like rockstar, this is a horrendous upset.
