    GTA IV is causing quite a controversy due to the city's resemblance to New York City.

    "Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland," said City Councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the Council's Public Safety Committee.

    Like setting Halo in Disneyland? I wish I could properly convey how hard that made me laugh over the internet.

    Lol yea Halo in Disneyland would be impossible.
    Anyways, I trust in Rockstar. I loved all their games so far and I'm sure this one will rock on.

    Haha GTA is always courting controversy it seems. My bf's little brother just got his mom to buy this game and when she saw him playing it she got so mad because it's too violent. Now it just sits there, but he plays it sometimes when his mom isn't there.

    the pixelated boobs fiasco :p
    I don't see what the big deal is with these games, lots of games feature violence and sex and no one has a problem with it. Just because it takes place in a fantasy setting doesn't make it less violent than a game taking place in a real-world location.

    Parents like most people don't always read all the details. I mean it's a lot different these days with all the sex and violence than it was back maybe 10 or 20 years ago.
