What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
I immediately noticed huge improvements in the voice acting, story, mission variety, gameplay variety, side missions, and overall fun factor.
I experienced no crashes, the graphics are a huge improvement over the original, and overall I really don't have any complaints about the remaster.
Better missions, better gameplay, a much more memorable protagonist, a far more interesting city...it really does improve on GTA III in just about every way.
The atmosphere is incredible, the soundtrack is legendary, and the improvements over GTA III are immediately obvious.
The frame rate was smooth throughout my entire playthrough.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
