Thanks for the help. Good to know I'm not as out of it as I thought I was.

Reading that site kilbo linked, I can only assume that some of these other parents don't read, have never seen the game or just don't fucking care.

I'm sure it would be okay it is was all elves though -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 11:30
LIR. I'll just add my two cents and say not only are GTA games not appropriate for kids, they are widely known as the place to go for depravity - con_carne Mar 4, 11:19
Honestly though, if you think he's mature enough to handle it, I really don't see an issue. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:15 13
- My 13-year old daughter has played it a few times. But then she plays Halo and Left 4 Dead and Assassins Creed II and... - JaxSean Mar 4, 11:18 1
  - Yeah. L4D is waaaay more understandable for allowing that age bracket to play than GTA:IV -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:19
- *nods* Plus, on the flip side, not like all adults are mature enough. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 11:18 1
  - For a while after playing GTA: SA, every time I saw a motorcycle cop IRL, I felt a slight urge to smack him and steal his bike :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 11:21
- The violence really doesn't worry me. It's the sex, drugs, hookers and all of that stuff. -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 11:17 8
  - It's not just that they're in the game, but you get rewarded in the game for doing those things -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 11:22
  - In my opinion, the sex and drugs part is overblown. There's no nudity (iirc), no on screen sex acts, and any drugs references are just that... - Shaun Mar 4, 11:19 6
    - In Lost & Damned and Gay Tony you can get a pretty serious lap dance from strippers and bang a club assistant in her office. - Max Mar 4, 11:27
    - well, the blow jobs from hookers are kind of an on screen sex act, sort of -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:21 4
      - I've played them all up to GTA IV, and all you knew was that the car would start shaking when you had a hooker in there -- nm - Guigue Mar 4, 11:23 1
        
        I recall it being slightly more graphic in GTA:IV -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:24
      - I can only vouch for GTA3 and GTA4. Never played much of Vice City and never played SA at all. -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 11:21 1
        
        I've only played GTA:IV ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:22

    - Maybe it was you, but someone said they would often steal a car and park it and listen to the radio. :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 11:17 1
      - When I got tired of killing hookers and kids I probably pulled over, yes. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 11:23
  - it's filth. - Mel Profit Mar 4, 11:12

Yeah, I don't find the "community" reviews very good but the stuff posted by the site direct is very spot on for me -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 11:08
