![]() ![]() My child is 12 and has been wanting this game for quite a while now. Grand Theft Auto V is an amazing and abstract game, full of beautiful scenery and things to do. You can invite others to your own apartment, and then grab an expensive car from your garage and do anything! In the upcoming GTA Online players can play together in an online version of Los Santos, exploring the city together and playing the built-in games like tennis or golf, competing to beat the other. As I mentioned before, the violence is unrewarded, and the true fun in the game comes from discovering and exploring the amazing city, climbing mountains, riding bikes, parachuting, buying shares in the stock market, flying planes and so much more. In essence, the 'bad bits' of Just Cause 2 are there - e.g the violence, but to any sane child in high school, they will be fine with it - much worse can be seen in films that are rated 12 or 15, and minority of bad language in the game is much tamer than anything typically heard in a high school. In both games, yes, it is possible kill civilians, but GTA V gives the players NO incentive whatsoever, and in fact rewards you for helping civilians - for example, random crimes can occur around the stunning city of Los Santos, and if you stumble upon one of these, (and successfully stop it), the player's reputation is boosted. To parents wondering what other games it is similar to, other than GTA IV, Just Cause 2 is very similar. I think Grand Theft Auto V is an excellent game. If there ok… it's fine if they play Gta 5 (And don't forget to tell them to keep quite about them being able to play it with people like teachers, grandmas, priests, ect) If they have over half the checkmarks filled, then I would talk to them about any concerns I had or they had and if they still wanna play it, then if they seem ok with it let them do the first 2 or 3 missions with you watching them, then talk with them again. I asked them to put a check next to something that they would be fine with. Here's what I did with my kids who have been asking me ever sense u got the game for myself, I made a list of all the bad things in Gta 5, and sat down with each of my boys septetly. ![]() And think, if you were a kid maybe 10-13 and your cusions or parents played it… wouldn't you want up play it? As long as your child can handle it it's perfectly fine for them to play it. Places like the strip club, players are never required to go there, not even for a side mission, so trust your child. And if they don't go to bed with nightmares. If your kid won't go to school and tell everyone "Hey I play Gta 5!" Your fine. Same with most of the cussing, drugs, and alcohol. If you actually look at the reviews nudity only shows up TWO times, and there in cut scenes and cut scenes can be SKIPPED. Like my boys, they grew up watching shows with me like the Big Bang Theory & Scrubs witch has a lot of things I know some parents would never let their child see, so their fine. It depends on your child, everyone is different. So in whole, as long as your child is mature enough to skip the cut scenes and know that the game isn't real life, then I don't think you should have any concerns about giving it to anyone over thirteen, since the language isn't any different (and probably less frequent) than what they would hear at school. Since the missions which are told in the cut scenes are repeated in the menu, skipping these cut scenes shouldn't interfere with their play through of the game. The majority of the swearing is in the cut scenes, which you should be able to trust your child to skip if you want them to, and the same goes for the nudity (although it isn't shown very often, once once or twice throughout the game). Firstly the mini game in the strip club isn't always on, and there's no mission which makes them go there, so you should be able to trust them enough not to go there. But after looking at the game and seeing him play it at one of his friends house, I decided to let him have it. My son had been asking me for the game's in the GTA series for quite a while, allot of his friends have had this game since they were as young as 10 and he didn't understand why I wouldn't let him have it. To be honest, as long as your child is over thirteen and knows their right from wrong then there's no real reason to stop them from getting this game.
