Representation of Violence in Grand theft auto - Lucy and Laura

Grand theft auto 4
The representation of violence in Grand theft auto is portrayed through the graphics as they are more detailed being 3D making it more realistic. The use of these graphics can create a wide variety of crimes to do such as running down people, killing people and policemen, buying weapons and other acts.

The BBFC has rated it an 18+, the realistic violence and idea of being able to do anything available to the character makes this more suitable to an older audience, however from a source younger children are prone to buy this for the appealing features such as the great graphics.

Grand theft auto is based in a city like New York or London, the concept is to kill as many people as possible in the task/mission allocated using various weapons such as guns, cars, physical actions and many more.  There is no progression of levels to unlock any features or bonus', it is purely a task related game. However you can change citys to make it more exciting and go on to freeplay mode allowing you to do whatever you want. This game is very influential in real life as it gives the impression you can do whatever you like and have no consequences from your actions. This is why this game is rated an 18, as adults understand this is not something to do with real life.
