Techniqually, they CAN play this game. SHOULD they play this game however is entirely up to the parent. I would never let my kid play this game until their maturity level is high enough. Tons of killing, stabbing, swaring, and molesting. Shooting people, and steal from girls.

It depends of the entry, but overall the parents and guardians need to be involved in the decision. Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City are tamer than the more modern games but are still violent, therefore deciding on a specific age of accessibility is difficult.

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
I got both games, and i say they are very different. The Godfather is about extotions and racketeering and working up the ladder to become Don of NY. Grand theft auto has no extorting, you do other stuff and the gameplay between both is different to. The Godfather is in the 40's-50's and the Grand Theft Auto series each have a different year. Conclusion: They are different, but they may seem the same stuff.r
Grand Theft Auto IV. NEWS UPDATE: In case this is of interest to you, I have just read an item that announces Episodes from Liberty City (previously an Xbox 360 exclusive) is to be apparently available for PS3 and PC on 30th March this year. NOTE: This release date has been delayed from 30th March to mid April, for more work to be carried out.
GTA games are adult rated because of the violence, bad language and sometimes sexual content. They are not suitable for a 10 year old for that reason. From a legal point of view, I can only speak regarding the UK, where recently it was reported that the current law did not prohibit gamers under 18 from owning the games. It has been left up to game stores and parents to decide therefore. I do not know what the situation is in other countries.
