Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy allows gamers to enjoy classic Grand Theft Auto games with a new look and feel. When players pick up this title, they will be able to enjoy Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Once players open each game, they will see the virtual world they remember from over a decade ago with new graphics that improve on old standards. Some of the graphical improvements include new character models, increased draw distance, new lighting effects, and more.

Players might also be thrilled that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy contains various gameplay improvements across each game in the trilogy, like being able to use lock-on aiming and utilize a better targeting system. Each game also features an enhanced navigation system that allows players to create waypoints on their map, giving them an easier way to get to the location they are looking for.

On the negative side, Grand Theft Auto; The Trilogy tries to stay pretty close to the original foundation of each of the titles. This means that players might be missing out on some of the gameplay improvements that delighted players across other Grand Theft Auto titles, like Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The graphical improvements are also built to not affect the main structure of each game a lot, meaning that buildings and characters can still look quite simplistic compared to newer games in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Overall, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy might not be a bad way to enjoy classic Grand Theft Auto titles for those who have missed playing them a long time ago or just want to get started on games they never have played before. Other gamers might want to wait for the game to go on sale or see if patches to the game give more gameplay and graphic improvements across the board.
