Comparison between the classic GTA Games

GTA 3

GTA 3 being the first game that Rockstar released as a 3D title was a game changer. This was the first time the world got to experience a GTA title in third person mode. Although it was a game changer, GTA 3 pales in comparison to the other two in terms of story and artstyle.

GTA Vice City

GTA Vice City is the second release of the 3D universe and the game was more polished than the GTA 3. Vice City had a more captivating story with Tommy Vercetti losing everything only to build everything back up again. The game also features an artstyle that is unique to the Vice City tag and hasn't been recreated in any other series title till date.

GTA San Andreas

GTA San Andreas is the most advanced game in the classic trio. Be it for the graphics or the number of vehicles it features, the game sets the bar for what a polished GTA experience should be. Although San Andreas did have an art style and direction similar to Vice City, the story is one of the best in the gaming industry.

The GTA Remastered trilogy is rumored to be coming out later in 2021 and many players can't wait to be able to play their favorite classic GTA games in HD. For many players, the remasters will be a good way to revisit nostalgic moments from their childhood.

Among the three games that are going to be remastered, there has often been a debate as to which game is the best one. Most of the time players talk about Vice City or San Andreas being more favored while GTA 3 gets lesser light.
