The character models look downgraded, and their facial expressions are now broken.
Despite being a remaster, the graphics look worse compared to the original:.
Save games may become corrupt and, upon loading, will never progress past the initial loading screen.
Sometimes, there are lag and framerate issues because of poor emulation the game may even freeze and crash for the aforementioned reason.
Bailing out of a vehicle is busted in this port, and instead of jumping out of it in the original, you'll just stop and get out normally, even when the car is on fire, which will soon after blow up and kill the player.
This also results in CJ getting stuck on various objects resulting in controller input being lost, causing the daytime timer to run down and failing the mission.
Burglary missions are problematic, as CJ now always automatically picks up a valuable item, instead of the player choosing to do so.
The speed of the bikes is no longer changeable, as the bike would just gain max speed instantly by holding the button instead of tapping.
Instead of working your way up to heavy weights in the gyms like in the original, you can just skip to the heaviest dumbbell and have no problems lifting it, even if CJ is basically skinny.
Many of the minigames and game mechanics, such as weight lifting, bike riding, robbery, etc, have been simplified or outright broken in this version:.
False advertising: The back of the box uses the screenshots from the original version, tricking people into thinking they're buying the original version and not the remaster.

The PS3 version eventually fixed this problem.
The issues include seeing characters freeze in place, objects teleporting to character's hands, misplaced objects, vehicles freaking out (such as Big Smoke's car bouncing like a low rider in "Wrong Side of the Tracks"), and more.
The camera in the cutscenes is now zoomed out, which leads to problems because it shows things not meant to be seen.
Many new bugs and glitches were introduced, and some were even in the mobile port, such as clouds teleporting when you move the camera (though moving the clouds is normal in the original game, they do not teleport).
Also, when you're using a jetpack, the mechanic for bailing out is usable for some reason and you can fall to your death, which was not possible in the original. Jumping, for example, requires holding the jump button instead of tapping, and the fighting has been reduced to just holding the attack button.
The controls in this version are now worsened from the original.
Due to the aforementioned song Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine, which is plays whenever Carl has a bad date with his girlfriends being removed of the game due to the aforementioned copyright issues and expired licenses, the romantic music plays for whatever reason during a bad date which is unfitting for an unhappy/disastrous situation.
Worse still is that the cut tracks were removed in perhaps the crudest ways possible, as while a song is playing on the radio, it will occasionally cut off and then skip to another track, or randomly stop, then rewind or go forward.
The only radio stations still retaining all music are CSR 103.9, K-Rose and SF-UR. Most notably, Killing In The Name - Rage Against The Machine and Hellraiser - Ozzy Osbourne were removed from Radio X, Ring My Bell from K-Jah West, I Don't Give a Fuck - 2Pac and Express Yourself - N.W.A.
Many songs were removed due to copyright issues and expired licenses.
This version is nothing but a shameless port of the mobile version which was a good effort despite having many bugs, but this port was worse in terms of bugs, lacking some original features, and is more expensive.
