Rockstar Games has gotten a lot of flack in the past about their series of video games called Grand Theft Auto. Many parents and congressmen believe that the Grand Theft Auto promotes carjacking, killing, and racist hate crimes in a positive light. In 2006 Rockstar released a similar style of video game called Bully, Bully had the same type of game play and the same feel as the Grand Theft Auto series but is about a kid in high school rather than a grown adult getting involved with organized crime families or street gangs. So which game is worse, Grand Theft Auto or Bully?

First of all it's important to know what the two games are about. Both games are free roaming games which mean your character is pretty much able to roam around a huge map and do pretty much anything they want. In Grand Theft Auto you are able to walk around town and acquire several different types of weapons like pistols, rifles and automatic weapons. There are no people who are off limits. You can kill the mob boss you've been hired to kill or you can kill the cops chasing you. You can even kill the average Joe walking down the street next to you minding their own business. In the Grand Theft Auto series you can pull anybody out of their car, steal it, and the run over people who get in the way of your car. You can even steal other vehicles like helicopters and tanks.

Grand Theft Auto is worse for kids, because it can promote car-jacking, and kids can imitate the acts of shooting, violence, and racism to other people.

Why ask them if they play video games. video games aren't the cause of violence it's yourself. your the one causing the violence. you have a right to do this and do that. if he did play a game say madden. how does that promote anything. or if he plays gta. people are stupid
