4/10, D tier. I don't have much nostalgia for the old GTA games, I did have vice city and played San Andreas for a bit when was younger but as soon as I played the game and started attacking people my parents thought it was too violent and got rid of them. Recently I have been interested in revisiting the older games when this appeared at the right time.
I used ps now to play the games individualy with GTA 3 being released a few months ago and vice city recently. I don't really think my opinion will be changed if I play San Andreas.
I was exited to play GTA3 the most as it started the 3D part of the series and is known for creating what modern world open games are today. As soon as the first cut scene played howver I was stunned at how bad the game looks. I honestly can't think of a triple a studio game that looks this artificial and dated.
The roads are the worst example of dated graphics, looks so blocky and just awful. The audio is so low quality, I'm not sure if the original game has this but the you can hear the microphone or studio sound when people speak. I was just so disappointed more than anything, that rockstar would think this acceptable to display the games that made their legacy in such a poor way.
Vice city was actually not too bad. The audio was good, the character models whislt being slightly off looked okay. The environments were actually great, most buildings and suronding environments looked good with the neon lights creating a brilliant atmosphere at night. The game still felt a bit lifeless though, the pedestrians felt like robots, the punch animation is just so bad. Honestly I would play this version of vice city but it is definitely not worth it for the price of the original release.
I am currently playing the original San Andreas on PS3 and it is great. The game is dated but you can tell how impressive it would have been at the time. The game is still entertaining to this day with lots of side activities, stats to upgrade, clothes to buy, you can even enter restaurants and order different types of food that affects your fat level. It is honestly on track to being my favorite GTA and I will write a review when I beat it.
I'm more disappointed than anything, thses games are talked about so much and have such a legacy behind them i just wish they could be readily available for modern consoles, I wouldn't even mind if they were just ported over. It doesn't help that all other versions of the games on modern consoles have been taken off and replaced by this. Honestly worth a bad rating in itself.
In all just not worth getting. Not worth it at all and I would easily recommend not to get it. I have got a PS2 so I will get the originals at some point but it is such a shame that is the only way to experience them if you don't have a PC.
