People Like Violent Video Games

The game "Grand Theft Auto" is kind of interesting, and kind of dangerous. The reasons why it is interesting is because some people like the fact that it is realistic, and the reason why it is dangerous is because some people's psychological clock ticks and they feel like it is fun to shoot people and stuff, and when they do it they get killed or shot. My sister is like this, when we were watching the shooting part in the video she said that was her favorite part, and my cousin won't accept games without violence.

GTA: Doing Too Much

Grand Theft Auto is not good for little kids. It does not tell the right message to have a good life. It gets into gang war and shit. But most kids get hooked on it and then they think that if they do the things in the game, they will not die but then they do it and end up dead. Well, the bopperz in the game is doing hecka much, hitting flips and having threesomes and stuff. I think it just gout of control, but it is a fun game but not for kids under 18!!! Except for me, LOL!

Why Do the Girls Have to Look so Bad in GTA?

Even though I like to play Grand Theft Auto, I still don't think that people should make them type of games. One of my reasons is because it makes girls look like hos and not only that, some kids these days get ideas from games like that will try to do it themself. I mean, I'm not saying not to do these kinda games but it would be nicer if it would have less to do with women doing stupid things and if it wouldn't make the girls look so bad.

Too Much Like Real Life

Playing Grand Theft Auto is okay, but once you take the game out to the real world it's a different thing. It has too much killing for kids, too many things that they can do to real people. I have seen kids doing things like that the game does in real life. And I have heard people saying that they want to do what the game does in real life.

You Have to be Mature to Play GTA

I think that Grand Theft Auto is a bad influence on kids. It's too easy to buy, they say you have to be 18 to buy it but you could get somebody off the streets to buy it or an older cousin or friend or something. The first Grand Theft Auto wasn't that bad, it wasn't as explicit as they are now but I think they start making the games based on how life is changing, like it's more killing and prostitutes and stuff now, so they take what's happening now and put it on extra thick, like killing the prostitute after you're done with her and just being able to walk down the street and kill everybody. The game is fun because I play it all the time but I know I'm mature enough and I've got enough sense to play a game like that but my little cousins play games like that and they don't know better.

GTA Influences Kids

The game is very violent but I still like it. People shouldn't play these games or buy them for their little brothers or sisters. I think you should be 18 and up to play this game. It influences people because little kids see their idol on TV playing it or their older brother or sister playing it and these little kids think in their brain: "I wanna be like them so I have to play this game."

Why I like Grand Theft Auto

The reason why I like Grand Theft Auto is because it’s a challenge and it keeps you occupied. Another reason why I like this game is because you can steal people's cars and shoot people. I think young people like this game because they think that when they kill somebody they are going to get away with it. And to them its practice for stealing cars. Also I think people play it because it keeps them in the house and out of trouble. I like the game because there is a lot of action in the game. The game seems real to me because I see the same things that happen in the game, happen in the streets. When I was playing the game before, I went to a hooker and had sex and then killed her because she set me up.

Why Can't Games Influence Kids to Make Their Lives Better?

From what I have been through and what I have seen, Grand Theft Auto is a good but kids take it to the point to where they really try to rob someone or to shoot someone. Sometimes things don’t go the way they planned. I have played the game before because it looked very interesting and I love the way you could kill people and have sex with hos. But at the same time, this game makes me want to go and do something to someone because all the stuff I have been through.

See, my uncle died from gang violence and he was shot 17 times in Los Angeles when I was 4 years old, so I have been through some things that no one else has. Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t make things to influence kids and teenagers to do certain things. Like, if I was to make games I would make some thing to influence them to go to school or to make your life into a better life than what I had, cause I don’t want any one to suffer like I did without a mother or my uncle. I sometimes cry to myself because I don’t have any one but my grandmother and some people say I am never going to be anything in my life, but I think better of myself. Change your life before life changes you.
