Don’t expect to be surprised when you see console magazines flooded with letters from people (mostly probably old, but lets not get into that) saying how Grand Theft Auto 3 is a disgrace. MP’s, over protective mums and little old ladies went mad over GTA2 when that made its appearance on the PS1. GTA3 is going to make Tony Blair and his lil’ friends at number 10 go even crazier! With GTA2, I would admit that there was nothing wrong, as the graphics were so unrealistic. More like a cartoon than anything, which in a way made it more fun. I admit that the new GTA is bad (In a violent, kill every-one-in-site sort of way). Even though I’m all for it and defiantly getting it, but I’m surprised that’s its been published and being sold in UK shops!
I don’t know why people are complaining anyway!? You get to beat up gangsters, run havoc in a car, jump off buildings, and the most harm that will come to you is a cramp for playing it too long and a splitting head-ache from the long hours staring at a television screen!
These complainers (that I doubt have even played computer games never mind GTA3) think that if us ‘youngsters’ have a little bit of ‘virtual’ violence in are lives then we will turn in to devils, go around schools killing all the teachers and only come out at night! Insane.
What annoys me most about this subject is that these complainers are trying to ban games from gamers they’ve never met and probably never will! If they don’t like the game and think its too violent they should ban it from there house and not spoil everyone else’s fun, its clearly marked ‘18’ on the box! What rights do they have in the first place to ban such fun! I can understand why they don’t like it and respect them for that, but if you want it banned simply don’t buy it… there’s no need to right a letter to Mr. Blair and involve the whole Houses of parliament…
The only thing illegal about the game GTA-3 is the amount of fun coming out of a rectangle and a black box… its a drug, and I’m addicted!
