500 Questions

Parents should let a 10 year old play grand theft auto?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a question that a lot of parents and children alike ask, and my opinion is complex and multisided, so allow me to begin with a bland statement before I get into the games, their differences in suitability and content, and whether or not I believe children will change negatively if they play Grand Theft Auto. My initial statement is this: on paper, the answer to whether or not a 10-year-old can play Grand Theft Auto is "no". Some of the games feature above-average violence even for PEGI 18 and M for Mature 17+ rated games, heavy profanity, disturbing scenes, and drug and alcohol usage. However, there is a lot of depth to the question.

I'd like to say that there are several GTA games and they vary in content suitability for 10-year-olds.

Let's begin with the first, top-down style GTA games released on the PlayStation. The top-down, aerial view GTA games are far, far tamer compared to the 3D GTA games, which I'll get to. Overall, I'd say that the first topdown GTA games are acceptable games for a young preteen to play.

Then there are the 3D games which include: GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V. These are not all equally heavy for a 10-year-old, so let's begin with GTA III: GTA III was the first 3D entry in the franchise and garnered a lot of controversy due to its clearer and more graphic detail and depiction of killing people... two decades ago. This game can still be considered moderately violent, but it pails in comparison to the newer titles, so overall I'd say that GTA III is also relatively okay for a 10-year-old to play, but with parental guidance.

Then there's GTA: Vice City, which is the debatably heavier game in terms of adult content. It is less gritty and has a brighter, more vibrant atmosphere in comparison to the bleak, dark city of GTA III, but Vice City's Miami features lots of violence, drug references and some sexual content. GTA III and Vice City are the tamest of the 3D GTA games, and personally I'd say that I wouldn't rebel against a 10-year-old playing them due to their aged visuals and gunplay. However, parents and guardians should be well aware of the violent content in the games.

Then there's GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V which I would not recommend for a 10-year-old player. GTA: San Andreas features plenty of profane language, the most violence thus far, dark and disturbing scenes and higher levels of drug usage. Therefore, I'd recommend that parents and or guardians wait another few years before the 10-year-old in question plays San Andreas, to which I'd say 13-years-old and up at minimum.

GTA IV is arguably the darkest GTA game, with a gritty and dark tone and ramped up levels of violence from the transition to the PS3 and Xbox 360. It features a lot of the adult content of the predecessors but increased. In addition, the physics of the game are debatbly the best in the franchise, so that makes the chaotic gunfights and destruction players can partake in more realistic. Therefore, I'd say that it's for 14-year-olds and up at minimum.

Finally, there's GTA V, which is widely considered the best game in the franchise, but also the bloodiest. In addition, it has a multitude of very dark scenes, including a torture scene that you have to control to progress. As usual, players can cause complete and utter chaos, with the most realistic graphics and sound effects of the franchise. Therefore, I'd say that it's for 14-year-olds and up at minimum.

To answer the question of whether or not a 10-year-old would change negatively after playing GTA, I'd have to say that generally, no. It won't make them start a shooting, rob cars or beat up random people. However, this is my most important point: parents and guardians, please, if you are going to let you child or children play GTA, any of them, talk to them beforehand about the content and that you're putting a lot of trust in them to not reenact the crimes in the game as well as never use some of the language in V especially.

In conclusion, this question is multilayered and endlessly up for debate, but the top-down, original GTA games, III and Vice City can be considered acceptable games for a 10-year-old to play by some people. However, San Andreas, IV and V are not recommended for someone of that age yet. Parental guidance is key to this all, and exercising what you consider "suitable content" for children by playing the games yourself and making up your own answer is very much recommended, but I hope I could help with my stance on the matter.

Is it possible to download Grand Theft Auto on the nds r4?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yeah, you can download Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars.

(pretty sure that's what its called)

I had a lot of difficulties with it. :| But I eventually downloaded it, and it works now.

The problem I kept having,

Was the thing kept saying something about, how the sav file cant be accessed and whatever..

So, I downloaded YS Menu for the R4.

Basically, if a game doesn't load for you, and you use the YS Menu thing, it works just fine.

You need to find YS Menu and download it. Extract all the files onto your R4 Root.

Then, find the Sav File for Grand Theft Auto. And download that.

Then, download the Rom.

Roms have little numbers to identify it. The one I downloaded has the number 3835..or something like that. :s I recommend downloading that one.

I don't know FER SUREE if that's the number though. :o

After you download those things,

Put the R4 in your NDS, turn it on, go into YS Menu, it'll run its course thingyy, then your background will change to this greyish colour, then, go into your games folder, hit the Grand Theft Auto game, let it make a Sav File, and that should do the trick. (:

I don't know if that will work for sure. :\

But that's how I got mine to work.

If you can't find the YS Menu or Sav File for Grand Theft Auto, or the ROM itself, send me a message at rising.to.fall_x@hotmail.com

I still have the YS menu, and all that other stuff,

I'll send em to you. (:

Hopefully I helped.

They are supposed to reflect street and criminal life. And, in real life, many people swear, even on the streets. This is another reason why they are adult rated games (18+).

Depends what model you have (40gb, 60gb, 80gb etc.) and which region you live in/bought your ps3 (North-America, Europe, Asia etc.). Some ps3's come with this feature, so I suggest you find out which model you have and do a google search to see if it is compatible with ps2 games.

Who do you play as in GTA3?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The protagonist you play in GTA III is "Claude", sometimes called "Claude Speed". There was confirmation of his first name in GTA: San Andreas where he appears briefly as Catalina's new boyfriend driving in a race with Catalina against CJ. Catalina refers to him as "Claude" in various phone calls just to make CJ jealous. Claude does not speak, and CJ refers to him as that "snake without a tongue" at one point. There is no confirmation whether Claude is actually mute, or whether he just does not talk much. In GTA IV, if Niko takes over Playboy's loft, he will find Claude's outfit in the wardrobe.

How do you get the cops chasing you in Grand Theft Auto?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not sure which grand theft auto you mean, but I if you mean gta IV games, then it is easy to get the cops to chase you and to get up into a good star rating. Just get Niko, Johnny or Luis to drive a strong, fast car, something like a Sentinel, and lob grenades out of the open window as you drive through a traffic queue. That usually gets a 2 star rated immediately and then, as the cops chase, just start lobbing grenades at them, or firing at them, and the rating will go up to 3 stars. Keep up the good work, and you will be on 6 stars very quickly. You have to remember than from 5 stars, the cops and NOOSE and sometimes FIB will start shooting at the car to smithereens, plus there will be snipers from the rooftops as well. If you can keep the stars between something like 3 and 4 for a while, you can have a great car chase. It is worth scoping out the area though, to find rat runs and areas where you can top up on jackets or grenades, or find new cars.

well, you have to beat off the boat, but afterwards you can just get a weapon, then a stronger one, and stronger until you have an uzi, pistol, shotgun, bat/knife, and maybe even a grenade. then steal a cop car and do vigilante mission, once you max pistol ammo enemies will use the next tier until you maxed that all the way to assault rifles. gang activities help. then once your done with that, find some body armor and a good car, save, and their, your set to kill, and wreak havoc to all the place you have unlocked! it's possible, and I've done it!
