for parents out there, such as myself, id just like to announce this game isnt all that bad. i watched my 14 year old play it for hours, and played some of it myself as well. the game contains a few four letter words, and the occasional n word (usually just gangster talk, and not insulting someone else). there is minor drug content and even prostitutes on the street (dont worry, you cant get them in your car or anything, just there for decoration)the only real problem is violence. id say for teens 14+ its ok. as long as your kid has a grip on whats real and what isnt, then its not all that bad to buy. unless your child has access to illegal drugs, prostitutes, big guns, and is in a hardcore gang, then i almost feel like saying this is a must have...but its your choice i guess
