Grand Theft Auto 4 is a fun game if you\u2019re the\u00a0right age. Most parents care if their children are playing games with violence, sex, cursing, and drugs so I feel it is good idea to let people know that Grand Theft Auto 4\u00a0has all of these aspects.<\/p>\n
These\u00a0aspects do not occasionally pop up, but are present at all times in the game – they are inescapable. In the game, you are a Russian mobster that has many jobs, from selling drugs to being a hit man. Your player does refuse to use drugs when presented, but he does sell drugs to others. When you are walking the streets you can kill any civilian or steal any car.\u00a0The\u00a0game\u00a0also encourages you to kill police officers.<\/p>\n
Grand Theft Auto 4\u00a0also allows you to get drunk, fall over, and have all the effects of real drinking including the ability to drive while drunk. As in real life,\u00a0the\u00a0effects of drinking\u00a0impair your driving skills. You automatically swerve and hit people walking on the sidewalks.<\/p>\n
I do not feel that video games affect children’s actions adversely although some people may disagree, as\u00a0when\u00a0I was a child\u00a0I would play games with these themes. I never had the impulse to go kill anyone or do drugs. But, I do\u00a0understand that if a parent feels that a game will influence their child they should know about the game before they buy it or allow it to be played.<\/p>\n
I would strongly caution parents to play this game before their children do just to be sure that they know what is going on first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
