G.T.A Unsuitable? Or just fun and my parents don't realise?

I think gta is one of the best games around, but my parents won't buy it because they think it is "unsutialbe" for a 13 year old, but all my mates (who are the same age as me) have it, and there's nothing wrong with them!

Its really out of order.

No. It's not suitable for kids 13 years of age. And of course his parents can distinguish between game and reality. It's very ignorant to think otherwise. That isn't the issue.

The game is an homage to the movie Scarface, and that's also unsuitable for a 13 year old. Your parents are right. Of course playing the game won't kill you or cause you to rob a bank. It's a moral issue though. If your parents are doing their jobs and trying to raise you correctly, then bravo. It's a rarety these days, as your friends may be able to tell you. Put it this way. The game deals with death, guns, drugs, ripping people off, stabbing people in the back, terrorizing civilians, being a menace to society, sex, prostitution, - you even become the manager of a porn studio and can visit a strip joint. If your parents happened to walk into the room and saw that on the tv screen, they'd burn your ps2 and send you to catholic school until you get out of high school.

Hey if u want an unsuitable game, go play MANHUNT!!! Thats only rated MA15+ down here in Australia. Its 100times worse then GTA3 and GTAVC. Your parents are wrong. GTA is not bad at all. Manhunt on the other hand....My bro has it and hes only 13.
