Controversial Violence in the palm of your hand...
SEX: there really isnt any "strong sexual content in the game". There are strip clubs and advertisments for porn movies and such but you cant go in a club or really have sex. You can get a prostitute in your car but the will just sit there and you will hear moaning sounds. There is sexual talk in the radio stations and in a cut scene a woman comes from under a mans desk if you know what i mean. VIOLENCE: pretty much anything you can think of: car jacking, chainsaws, molotov cocktails, every type of gun from TECh-9s to rocketlaunchers, flamethrowers etc. you know the stuff... LANGUAGE:there is atleast 7 f-words in every cutscene, feels like you are watching the sopranos. DRUGS:References in cutscenes of cocaine and pills, adrenaline. not really a problem in this game. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: unless your kid is going to be a scarface type gangster/drug dealer/pimp/hitman/wiseguy etc there isnt much to learn here. OVERALL Ok for mature teens (im 14 and not crazy)

Must Have Game !!!!
I think that people take good games like this and write things about them that give them a bad reputation once I was playing this game on my friends psp and i saw zero sexual content plus I think this game has to kinds of edicational value If your child wants to be a drug dealing gangster and your okay with that let them have the game but it can also teach them what you shouldn't do and what the conseqences are the game is also good to take out anger on better in a game then real life.

good for tennagers but not for young kids way to much violence.
this game is great. The things wrong with it though are all bad. Cussing,inappropriate things, and more. This game is fun. But lots of bad things hold it back from being 5 stars.

This is a wonderful story of love, passion , and a fight for what is right!
This game is the true story of a boy getting his head blown off bu a rubber duck and then getting it taped back on

Not as bad as four, but still bad.
It doesn't hold anything special in the grand theft auto series. It just seemed like I played grand theft auto three again.

maybe for 11-13+
I think this game is fine if its talked about with kids but should really be left until 11-13+.Overall its a really fun game and great if in moderation.People say that if kids are exposed to this stuff they will use charachters as role models.The important thing is be able to tell the difference from game and reality.

not as bad as parents think
the only I've ever seen in this game is cursing, violence, and blood that's it I'm 13 and I just got PSP a few days ago and my mom thinks it really has all that stuff on the back but she said she'll think about it and parents just play the game before you critize it if you child is between 8-12 it's ok if he/she is mature but remember it's just a game.

Iffy For Young Teenagers
Nothing else is really an issue other than sexual content. Any teenager has already have heard all the swear words, they know what drugs are, its not really that big a deal because they already know what all that is. But the sexual better isn't something that they should probably be seeing, recommend for kids that are more on the mature side 13+ and aren't influenced easy.

Its a great game but for younger kids, it might have to be reviewed by an adult!
It's a great game but for younger kids, it might not set the best example..... But all in all I think its a good game!!!

I watch (bad choice) then I play, I dont do anything on it, i actually OBEY the laws and stop at lights and traffic signs. There was this one kid who was addicted to that game and, guess what?! He went aroung KILLING and HURTING inosent people! I know thats pretty bad! I would NEVER be addicted to that game. I dont even play it anymore, neither does my brother. I hope you all agree. I G2G!

Rockstar's Ridiculous Series!!!
Imagine you walking down the street with your mother, and then someone comes up and shoots her right in front of you and takes her money without even the sense of a child near her.Cold blooded killings,prostitution, this is the garbage you are dealing with. Attack innocents, cops, paramedics and hijack vehicles! Who needs this b.s if it happens everyday , and you get to play the crime. Think about it, imagine if it happened to you, or you saw it up close and personal! You won't ever think about holding that game again. This game is nothing but repetitive missions that get boring after a while. I mean there might be blow up a tanker, or run over a guy but it's all the same nonsense. Can't you teenage numbskulls who idolize Toni, C.J. and people like that think about what you're dealing with. You're dealing with a waste of time piece of garbage game!!! Get it through, or if not, think of real life scenarios that could happen to you or someone you love. Be like Toni? If you're him, be lucky if you go to heaven!!! Idiots who play these games!
