July 2025
I played GTA 3 as a kid, so when the Definitive Edition came out, I couldn’t resist checking it out. At first, it felt great to return to Liberty City — so many memories came rushing back. But after a few hours, my excitement started to fade. The graphics are definitely improved: lighting, reflections, and weather effects look more modern. The city feels a bit more alive, and the updated controls — especially driving — are more in line with newer GTA titles, which makes the gameplay smoother. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The game is full of bugs, performance issues, and weird character models. Some faces look like they were made in a rush, and the animations feel stiff. The game also lost part of its original charm — some iconic music is gone, and the cutscenes feel shorter and less impactful. If you’re in it just for the nostalgia, it’s passable. But if you’re hoping for a proper remaster that honors the original — this isn’t quite it. Rating: 6/10 A nostalgic trip, but not the return Liberty City truly deserved.

THE BEST REMASTER OF THE TRILOGY Personally, I think this is the best of the three games in the Definitive Trilogy. The original versions of GTA Vice City and San Andreas are better in many ways, but I feel that the GTA III remaster plays better than the very outdated original. You can always play both versions and make an objective comparison.

Though Vice City is my favorite of the three, I still have a lot of love for all classic GTA games. Finally stepping into the realm of 3D this one done changed the game. Following a story of betrayal over and over again, this poor guy just can't catch a break. Thankfully he's a bad ass and powers through his way to the top of Liberty City. Much like the VC definitive version this looks great without having to mod anything. Well done!

I played GTA 3 for the first time in 2025 And in my opinion, the game has definitely aged in some aspects. For example, the mission design and the frequent use of timers. To me, this feels like a rather cheap way to create tension nowadays. However, at the same time, no mission felt repetitive—each one had a unique situation. As for the narrative, I find it weak. Claude is a silent and completely undeveloped character. Yes, I understand that back then it was common practice to make the protagonist a blank slate, but as I see it, this concept hasn’t stood the test of time. The script and story also left no lasting impression on me and didn’t offer anything new. That being said, the game made me smile more than once with its humor, its ironically cliché characters, and even some gameplay situations. But the most important thing is that this game was released 24 years ago and still manages to evoke emotions and fun. And that alone makes it a cult classic! One more interesting thing: at the time of writing this review, the only GTA game I had completed was the fifth one. But when I first tried the third installment, it was the one that truly made me feel like a "Grand Theft Auto" player for the first time.
