It's GTA. There's going to be graphic violence, sex, profanity and drug content. Most kids know the difference between games and real life. I played games like this when i was younger, it all depends on the kid.

Good but violent! Adults only!
It's a very good game, but the violence is off the hook! Adults only!

Middle-Violent
the only problem I had was the violence.The game goes from gang war to drive bys and more.Once you learn the theme it gets boring.Drugs apper to much in the end of the game.I didn't like the game.Beggening was pretty fun intill it got to Reni.I rated other GTA's but this one was the one that used drive bys the most.Be smart and talk to your kid about what not to do in this game.

Very well done, but for mature teens and adults only
As the CSM review says, the violence in this and all GTA games is overwhelming and may be upsetting or disturbing to sensitive players. Teens playing this game need to be mature enough to handle the violence and accept it as fantasy; if one can handle that, it's an immesely fun experience.

this is a very good game it is trully one of the best games i have played.
The game relly lets you exspess you anger.It seems bad for kids but as long as you dont get the wrong idea.most of the kids in this world dont relly think of it as real life.I mean yea you may be doing bad things.But I mean most of us dont want to act like that.

i don't even think adults should play this game. this is one of the worst games ever. it is teaching kids and adults who act like kids that it is ok to steal, kill, do drugs and all kinds of bad things. a big NO

eh
it was a soso game. boring. but not too mature for a teenager. in fact, it's very popular for the sole reason that we enjoy this stuff. all my friends loved it- i got bored once i learned how to cheat.
