Now, having a little brother of age 13, who was obsessed with the predecessors of this game, I must question if it is wise to continue to market such a piece of trash.
Grand Theft Auto can be summed up in one word: SMUT. Driving around in your car, killing people, working your "women," selling "stuff" and then stumbling upon hidden sex scenes. I don't care what the rating is.
Too many parents aren't interested enough or game-savvy enough to care about the game. This game deserves a rating of XXX... And you shouldn't be able to buy it unless you're over 18, and if you buy it for someone younger, it should be illegal.
I am not a fan of the government controlling what we do... But I am realistic in this simple sense. Children don't always make the wisest choices, and when they immerse themselves in a life-like environment where they are participating in all the stuff above, and getting a lot of money(the driving force in our society) for doing it. Then what the crap are we teaching them! As said before, most parents just aren't aware enough of these electronic things, that kids can hide it easy... Hide that they are participating in this smut.
People, do yourselves a favor, buy one of those fabulous CD Shredders... And shove the game in it... Then burn the leftovers.
Don't Let your Kids Play with Trash.

As a parent, I agree I am not always "on top" of what is going on in the "gaming world", but doesn't this game already have a rating? Yes, I agree this is smut, but then so is Hustler, Playgirl, etc. Unfortunately you cannot "clear out" the trash.
It is also up to a parent to make sure their children understand "games" vs. real life....this is not a manufacturer's job. Unlike so many that believe that video games "kill" people, I find that weapons, poor judgement, drugs, mental illness and lack of certain mental capacities are the root of many killings.....hardly GTA.
Just like reading the work of fiction "The DaVinci Code"....why would anyone "challenge the book????? or write a book debunking the contents of it?????? it's FICTION!!!!!
