Release Date: November 11, 2021
Published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of GTA III, this compilation includes GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas. These titles put us in the role of aspiring criminals climbing the ranks of the criminal underworld.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a compilation of three iconic games from Rockstar Games studio - Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. Originally released for the sixth generation of consoles, these games revolutionized the series and achieved unimaginable success. This compilation was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of GTA III.
All games included in the trilogy take place in the same universe, so called 3D Universe, independent from the titles in the HD Universe (GTA IV, GTA V, GTA Online). In each of the games we play as an aspiring criminal, climbing the rungs of the criminal underworld.
GTA III takes place in 2001 and puts the player in the role of Claude, a robber seeking revenge on his ex-girlfriend, who left him for death during a robbery. Vice City is set in 1986 and features Tommy Vercetti, a mobster in the service of the Mafia looking for money stolen during a drug deal. The events in San Andreas take place in 1992 - we play as Carl Johnson, who wants to stop drug distribution in his hometown.
The storylines of the game are not directly connected with each other, but sometimes we can meet in them characters known from the other games of the trilogy.
GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is a compilation of third-person sandboxes in which we complete story and side missions, earn more money and search for collectibles. The cities available to the player - Liberty City in III, Vice City, and Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas in San Andreas - are vast, full of surprises and offer a lot of freedom. Combat in the games uses a third-person shooting mechanic. We move around the game world using many available vehicles, usually stolen from the street.
Apart from the story missions, the games offer many challenges rewarded with useful items or ive skills. For example, firefighter missions involve putting out fires and, depending on the game, reward the player with a flamethrower or complete immunity to fire. Paramedic missions involve bringing wounded patients to the hospital and reward the player with increased health or infinite sprint.
All games included in the trilogy offer single-player gameplay only.
GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has been refreshed and adapted for eighth and ninth generation consoles.

According to some, the generation of rehash continues and supposedly it's not a good thing – after all, it's better to get a new game. But I say that a good remaster is not bad, and the more of them we get, the better!

The nearly two-year-long court battle between Take-Two and a group of modders modifying GTA games is most likely at an end. However, another one is looming in the background.

Modders who have not bowed to Take-Two can count on an amicable resolution of the matter. Perhaps this sends a clear message to other mod developers that the publisher is only threatening the modders to „buy time.”.

GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition hit Steam yesterday. However, looking at the reviews and activity figures, it can be deduced that the game has not won the hearts of players. This is perfectly illustrated by GTA: San Andreas - the original version still gathers more people than the remaster.

Game Ratings for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition Video Game.
Game Revolution: 5 / 10 by Mack Ashworth
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition can be tolerable on the right system. Both PS5 and Xbox Series X offer s the best chance of brute-forcing past the performance barriers but, even then, occasional bugs and glitches can occur. Fun can be had on those current-gen systems, especially by those with some sentimental attachment to the original trilogy, but there’s still likely to be moments of frustration. When it comes to the Nintendo Switch version, as enjoyable as a portable version could be, the experience is heavily compromised and I can’t recommend players drop serious cash on this product.
Guardian: 2 / 5 by Keza MacDonald
These remasters feel less stable than the glitchy originals, with a lack of attention to detail that undermines the games' character
IGN: 5 / 10 by Tristan Ogilvie
GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition is defective, disappointing, and surprisingly disrespectful to three classic games and their many legions of fans.
