Santa Monica, California / Las Vegas, Nevada Outstanding achievements in the video game industry I don’t think there are any amount of patches that can help the Switch version of this Trilogy.Former American award show Spike Video Game Awards But for anyone else, trust that GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas were terrific games and play their legacy in everything else they inspired instead. Because these games always had a level of jank that you could put up with, and those fun games are still here if you fight through the pain. These ports should be avoided unless you’re a diehard fan.

However, what we really have is an insult to the legacy of these games, to fans of the series and the word Remastered. All the points are there to let a new generation of players enjoy these games – warts and all. On paper, this Trilogy remasters sounds like a done deal. Vice City’s locale can’t be beaten, but San Andreas, With its lite-RPG elements like stamina, weight, and all the side missions, means there’s a reason to push through the problems if you’re willing. GTA 3 has aged the worse with a now simple map and less exciting things to see and do. The stories of these games are still fun to play through, especially Vice City and San Andreas. You could spend a lot of time tweaking them, and in the end, you’re still going to turn it off. The motion controls, which you think help the new “GTA V controls”, are instead just poorly implemented and even harder to wield. Which uh, yeah alright touch screen menu controls – wahoo. There are two exclusive features to the Switch: touch screen menus and motion controls. The Nintendo Switch version doesn’t have any graphical options like the other consoles aside from turning Bloom off. The older guard might be able to put up with that, but everyone else will still just find it frustrating. Sadly this doesn’t come anywhere near making the game “modern” enough to appeal to anyone who isn’t thirty years old. The game’s “GTA V style” controls come down to adding a crosshair to the game’s gun combat. The entire Trilogy got a makeover with basically every character model redone – and while some people hate it – I could live with it if everything else with the game was fine. The games just don’t run well, and I don’t think it’ll ever be possible for them to do so here. It doesn’t matter if you’re in Liberty City surrounded by buildings, in Vice City rolling down the strip or out in the wilderness in San Andreas. There have been two patches for these three games, and while they have fixed a lot, they’re things that should have never shipped in the first place.

But when you see the games running on PC or an Xbox Series X, and while those ports aren’t perfect, at least the engine change lets some things shine. I almost talked myself into believing that this low resolution could be some sick nod to how the games looked back in the day.

This all happens with the game looking like someone smeared vaseline into your eyes. The game runs so poorly that the faster you go, the framerate can’t even keep up with your inputs, and your car starts to wobble, and you end up in a ditch, off a bridge, or worse – wasted and back without your weapons. Buildings render in front of you as you’re driving along, cars too as well. It’s taken me so long to write this review because where do you start? Do you start on the framerate? It’s low and may be expected on the Switch, but it hitches and stutters even when changing the radio station. How can such old games run so poorly? (That’s a rhetorical question, it’s the new engine). Instead, they’re presented in what is possibly the worst way possible.

We should be celebrating that, and as a bonus, we can play them on a Nintendo console. Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and San Andreas are all watershed moments in gaming history.

The two novel-length patch notes and the countless memes we’ve had since these were released will attest to that.

But because Rockstar Games and Grove Street Games chose to throw the baby out with the bathwater and throw away nearly two decades years of mods and improvements to the original games and remake the games in an entirely new engine, we’ve got a lot of issues.

Now, because the Switch didn’t have any previous GTA ports already, we’re not at a loss there. When Rockstar announced this remaster, it did so at the expense of the versions of the game already released. Well, we got the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy on a Nintendo system, and you can play it wherever you want – and there are some improvements – but almost everything else went wrong with these remasters, and they’re made even worse on the Switch.

After 20 years, they were coming to a Nintendo system and a portable one that promised a range of improvements to the game to help bring them into the modern era. I was excited when I first learned that the original Grand Theft Auto games were coming to the Nintendo Switch.
