Yeah, it's quite the game!
I hear you, puppet.
We'll see if ur idea gets used!
Then we will be able to see how good it is.
It's all about the people working on the game, I suppose.
They could make Philly good if they put in the time and effort, surely.

I can't help but wonder if I made a game like this would I be allowed to put it on shelves and would I find myself in criminal court facing charges for creating a monster like this...

I think its ashame that these people are able to target the kids with such violence and not put huge portions of that money back into the community for educational programs, computer training, and business management.

I agree with you. Negative liberty (the freedom of the individual) and positive liberty (the right to pursue the common good) should balance and compliment each other.

Most of the criticisms of GTA are justified imo. Especially the socio-medical criticisms directed at exposing young people who have not formed the necessary constructs (social, moral, etc...) to that level of reckless amoral violence really is socially irresponsible. Their brains cannot distinguish on certain levels between what happens in real life and these complex virtual reality worlds.

I would go even further than that and extend some of those criticisms to gangster rap (though there are important differences of course) because the same thing is happening in the brain but not on the same level.

I remember the first time I played GTA III at someone's house I could actually feel mentally/emotionally a disconnect occurring at a deep level. Getting in the car after a couple hours of that I actually had to refocus for a minute before heading out. Now I am a competent responsible adult with the necessary constructs and I felt it.

Yea i agree. I think GTA really sticks out regarding violence and recklessness. Its kind of perverted, hands down.
GTA along with Manhunt are the 2 Games that take it to a questionable level sometimes. I have to admit, that i still used to play them, but kids definitely shouldnt be able to get their hands on them at all.

im with young duece.....i thoght the GTA people wud look at saint raw and step they game up....anybody who played saint row last wudnt really like GTA4 as much....GTA4 is a better game no doubt..its longer and w.e but still saint raw was fun thana mothafucka...all them gang beefs and on and off random fightins..and teritory and shit...the story was jst not long enough.......u cant even have ur own car in GTA4 and custome make it n all that..

i remember i use to mob in some black on black SUV in Saint raw.....in GTA4 all i do is take a fuckin taxi....and i dono i thought it was overrated it is the best grame for Xbox360 yea bt people made me feel like it was GODLY

as if u take ur self to the hospital after being shot, or get robbed randomly walkin in the hood, or the traffic is real , u get tickets if u ran a red light infront of a cop type shit..i playe dit its teh same thing jst better graphics, more cars, people. way better missions and u can be frends and shit.

i think they left out stuf u cud do in san andreas which wuda made the game better....like gettin hungry, working out, gettin fat, gettin more weapon skilled as u shoot regularly and stuff like that.........this game got a whole lot gliches too
