Sure, why not? It's a game... Bart spray painted over all kinds of things in Springfield if a few games.

So that makes it okay? Vigilante decisions of right and wrong and illegal acting of consequences is acceptable?

Also as you put it, in many other games besides GTA.... and yes.... sometimes in a game they show that sometimes a wrong can right another wrong... but once again it's a game, if your kids can't figure that out for themselves, then they shouldn't be playing vid games to begin with

Again, does that make it okay? NFS also makes a point to preface the loading of the game with a warning about racing not being safe. At least they take a measure of responsibility.

Adult warnings are also in the game as well.... and those warnings you speak of are directed to those who have a license and a car to drive.... GTA has warnings... at least the one I had, had warnings of mature content and all that too. What do you want? Fireworks and a Red Stop Sign?

But does that make it okay for those other games either?

Yeah it does, because it's a fictional form of entertainment meant to be expressed how the original artists meant it to be. Just like any book you get your kids to read, I remember reading plenty of books which seemed quite real as a kid and talked about mature things like violence..... it's a book... much like it's a game..... stop worrying.

With Mortal Kombat the problem was with the blood and violence, not with the game in its entirety.

That was Mortal Kombat's Entirety...... violence, blood, gore, death, assaulting one another, shoving spears into one another's chests, ripping heads off, setting people on fire.... all the methods of killing someone at the touch of your fingertips.

And if you want to talk about judging a game in its entirety.... perhaps you should readjust your perception, because you're making GTA sound like it's a Mortal Kombat, and Mortal Kombat like it's a GTA..... GTA has much more in the game besides violence and prostitution, and if you looked beyond your own fears, you'd see there was much more the game focused on..... Mortal Kombat was nothing but violence and gore, to a level much worse then all the GTA's combined today.

I can probably still list you off every fatality, animality, babality, friendship, stage fatality, and anything else under the sun that all the mortal kombats had in their games..... and when it comes to my kid having a choice between playing a game where some square computer characters having sex in the back seat of a car, to watching Jax flatten someone's skull, or Johnny Cage ripping someone in half at the Torso, or Kano ripping out someone's heart, or Sub Zero throwing an Ice Grenade into your chest and blowing you into gutz and bits....

.... I'd choose GTA.... the detail in violence and such in that game and how much it focusez on it, pales in comparison.

And I find it funny that some people have a big issue with a game that promotes prostitution and sex, where prositution is legal in some States and around the world anyways, but they don't seem to have as much of an issue with a game that goes into the details in how you can kill and make your victim suffer.

Violence seems to be tolerated and permitted, but throw in sex or nudity.... and look out.... your kids are going to go MAD! :eek:
