Are 8 year olds allowed to play Grand Theft Auto?

Answer 1

This is a home video game. If the parents allow it, the children can play. Grand Theft Auto does have violence and crime. It is generally rated AV15+ or MA15+. To my understanding eight year olds are too young to play the game. Thanks

Answer 2

Yes i think that the game is ok for mature 13 year olds. The game has violence and bad language but so do R-Rated movies like the Hangover, Law Abiding Citizens and Role Models. If you play online with other people then it isn't as bad. Online you play around the city and shoot your friends just like Modern Warfare 2 and any other Call of Duty Game. Also you can drive vehicles around. You this the stuff in this game in life. Like on TV, internet, and in the public. Also most 13 Year Olds play Airsoft and Paintball and shoot guns at each other, so its just like playing together online in the game. So i think that the if your a mature 13 year old should be able to play Grand Theft Auto 4 online with their friends.

Answer 3

I would let 8 year olds play the game, as many games have a lot of crime, and murder. I would just not let an 8 year old go to the club but if they would be allowed they could. GTA is just an online game just like many games. Let kids play GTA do better people.
