Just in case you were wondering, Grand Theft Auto V is NOT for children. It is also not appropriate for teenagers. In fact most adults I know would be appalled at most of the content.
Yes, the graphics are amazing and the first person viewpoint is excellent. We’ve heard it before, do not buy this game for anyone under 18. It cannot be emphasized enough, this is NOT a game for youth. The past editions had sex, robbery, and more, but this edition has stepped it up a notch.
Here is the rundown from Kotaku.com:
“Basically, everything smutty and shocking and moral-panic-inducing about GTA is significantly intensified in first-person. The harrowing gunfights are more harrowing, the wild car chases are wilder, the shocking massacres are more shocking, and the tasteless sex exploitation is even tasteless-er. But then, the beautiful sunsets are even more beautiful, and the thrilling stunts and extreme-sports activities are even more thrilling and extreme. The game contains multitudes, as always, and now those multitudes have been multiplied.”
Parents, before you buy a video game for your kids, check the ratings. You can find out more about those ratings by checking the ESRB website.
