The controversial video game by rock star called Grand Theft Auto has been sparking debates across the nation for years. This is one of the best selling franchises in the video game industry but the message in this top playing videogame for our youth in particular teens is violence. This game depicts family violence, drug selling, murder, extortion, robbery, theft, grand theft auto and many more violent crimes. This game really belittles women I feel because they always use derogatory language towards them. This game always shows “pimps” and ho’s” and the pimp is always beating on the women. This sends a message that our society is fine with this type of behavior since we generate it for our amusement and entertainment. I am one of those who is at fault by playing this type of games but I do understand that this is not appropriate for our youth because they are still learning and trying to understand what is the

The next release in the series was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This game takes one back to the ‘80’s in Liberty City which is modeled after Miami. It is very reminiscent of the 80’s show Miami Vice. In this game, the main character is a drug dealer who loses his boss’ shipment of cocaine and money. He then has to run around the city and beat up jurors, steal cars, kill pimps and prostitutes for money and run other unsavory missions. The music is catchy, and for someone who remembers the 80’s well will enjoy walking down memory lane. The big appeal of the game is its realism. The downfall is the language and the whole premise of the game. As soon as the disc is in and the game starts, the first line of dialogue contains several curse words and racial slurs. The game especially maligns the Latino population portraying them as drug dealers and prostitutes or strippers. It is rated M for mature and not recommended for those under the age of 17 as are all the other Grand Theft Auto games.

GTA has been one of the best-selling and most controversial games ever made Kids from all ages play it with many adults advocating for its ban. I have played and enjoyed this game myself over the years with friends and random people on the internet. Everyone that I have come across can always discern the difference between the game and real life. The game itself has a beginning, middle, and end. The main goal is to get to the end.
