The problem is because they hid the controversial material in the game it was not rated properly. It should have been given an Adult rating from the get go. I know someone who let his 12 yo daughter play the game. I wanted to smack him in the head. It's definitely not a game for 12 year olds. :-\

people should have known it had adult content based on the other GTA's

[Homer]

I haven't actually looked up the hidden content even though I still have the game but it supposedly goes beyond just the usual sex and violence the previous games contained. I agree though. It should be rated Adult to begin with.

i dont even have the game lol.im not buying any new games until ps3 comes out which im anxiously waiting for.  ;D

[Homer]

Why buy? I rent from www.gamefly.com

For $20/month I can have 2 games out at any given time. It only takes 2-3 days for your game to come. I've gone through about 6 games this month. If I had purchased them it would have cost me $300+

I swear homer you and I must vist the excat same sites or something...I love gamefly...btw you visit netfix as well?  ::)

Cool Homer...thanks for another great site...my bf buys games a lot then beats them pretty quickly (they're mostly wrestling and sports games)...I'm gonna send him there to check it out!

i thought that was just a bogus rumor, but there's really a mod in the game that will let you actually "have coffee" with various girls.....my 20-yr-old- brother loves this game for that reason ::)

[badgeaddict]

they should just get over it. have u seen what u need to do to get this it takes about 5 hours of sitting thier and u have to buy something for ur ps2 so u can get the hot coffee mod. altho its cartoon and it should have a adult rating from the start if its gta u know its gonna have something like that in it.

[adamsmom]

yeah thats pretty sad  lol but i guess if ur ten and all your mom will let you do is play GTA well......whats a ten year old to do????*sigh*   lol    j/k

and their just now suing em? after its been almost a year since it was discovered? oh btw..its only in the PC version and you have to "patch" it to make it show up..nobody has ever been successful to find it with the PS2 version.

but either way..

[badgeaddict]

Just so you know....the version they are suing over is the PS2 version.  Here is a quote from the article on CNN about the lawsuit:
"The game, released in October 2004, features characters that commit crimes such as murder, drug dealing and pimping.
The game also had an embedded "mini game" in which characters could engage in explicit sexual acts."
     (http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/fun.games/01/27/video.game.lawsuit.ap/index.html)

The PS2 version was the only one out in October.  The PC and the XBOX version didn't come out until June of the following year, June 7, 2005 to be exact.  (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/gta4/index.html)

[pogohatesme]

people should stop throwing fits over everything look at all the sexual stuff on tv and everywhere you look now a days this is the future

they blame rockstar and sue them, it's not a parenting problem... oh no it's a video game problem

Lol just watch music vidoes on MTV....sometimes they seem worse than the video game itself lol

[bobby]
