    The remaster is average at best, sure the environment looks fresh, but tons of visual issues, awful rain effect and lots of bugs (old and new) make it just not worth it. I would suggest either sticking to the original versions or waiting for patches (if they will happen at all).

    I'm really not sure what people expected. Its a remaster not a remake. It's the original PS2 game with better textures, better lighting effects, better draw distance and modernised controls. What more can you ask from a remaster? My only issue with the game is the price. It's way to expensive for what it is. Only remakes get built from the ground up. This is not that. Its a remaster.

    The graphics in this trilogy look good in some places and just awful in others it is still fun to play its just not the definitive versions of the original gta trilogy everyone hoped for. There are random performance issues and bugs. This trilogy deserved better also the full price of $60 is very questionable

    El juego en si esta muy bien, pero me gustaría destacar el punto de que si bien este juego se trata de el juego original más un mod gráfico, no deja de ser una mala optimización.

Una pésima optimización a esta fecha 18/ 11/ 2021… Expand

    The games are great but I like the gameplay and The characters molds are ok it’s not bad at all it it’s not as good as the old school characters molds on the ps2 but the thing I hate most about the trilogy is the glitches and bugs and crashes I had gotten a A couple of crashes when I was playing and it’s not too bad I hopeRockstar fixes the game I think this game can be really fun if theyThe games are great but I like the gameplay and The characters molds are ok it’s not bad at all it it’s not as good as the old school characters molds on the ps2 but the thing I hate most about the trilogy is the glitches and bugs and crashes I had gotten a A couple of crashes when I was playing and it’s not too bad I hopeRockstar fixes the game I think this game can be really fun if they fix a lot stuff of the game is so fun no matter what it’ll be one of the best definitive Editions ever and I really hope the best for this game for 2022 and in the future and no game is perfect and if I had to rated it I will give it a 7 out of 10 I like San Andreas the most because it’s the most perfect game I had never played on the ps2 era games that most games don’t do these days including remakes… Expand

    Listen, this is not going to be a great port by all means, but lighten up, people! This is a brand new way to experience these classic games on modern consoles, and a decent one too.

Most notably being the barrier on the map and kinda bad rain effects. These and the holes in parts of the maps. These bugs and some character models should be tuned, adjusted, and fixed, patched, etc., but this is still a fine way to experience the games. The upgraded targeting system is useful as all hell, but can be a bit wonky at times. The weapons wheel I find myself constantly using, which is a great edition from V, along with the radio wheel!

    In conclusion, is it worth the $60 USD price tag? No, it should be bumped down to at least $45 to $30. But this is still a fine way to experience the games for replay value, or for your first journey. Admittedly, it is a semi-disappointing port, but still good for first timers.    … Expand

    Super cool de replonger dans ces jeux mythiques, malheureusement l'aventure et un peu triste, avec ces nombreux bugs est ces défauts de portage de mobile vers console et pc de plus, ça fait mal de voir que san andreas et plus jolis sur mobile que sur next gen. Sinon, quel plaisir. Ça n'en reste pas moins qu'un remasterd serte chère.

    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.

    A GTA Vice city? Personally, the best excitement of all. It restores the atmosphere of the old game. It's not worth talking about    A GTA 3? Terrible.

    A GTA San Andreas? Well ... There are bad things in it. FOR EXAMPLE:
    Brown-skinned characters sometimes blend in with realistic lights. Respectively, the graffiti on the wall doesn't show up properly on the wall, but there was no problem. It also restored the old experience but there are confusing factors.    … Expand

    I want to clarify that I've never played Gta3/ViceCity/SanAndreas before, so I don't have any comparision expierience.

    Definitive Edition was a ton of fun for me. I really enjoyed all these 3 games. Didn't have any bugs/problems with Gta 3 or Vice City. Had some minor graphics issues in San Andreas but it didn't influence any gameplay problems.

    I can truly recommend this game, because the stories are awesome, all the cities we travel through are beautiful. Of course it's not remake so you can't expect graphic like in Witcher 3 or GTA 5.    … Expand

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

    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.
