Love the sandbox idea.
Dislike the violence in it and it is my personal dislike as I am a psychiatrist. Didn't like Reservoir Dogs that much either. Loved the over the top violence in Kill Bill though.
It is good that the violence in GTA is cartoony, over the top. This makes it very similar to watching Roadrunner drop a 10 ton Acme weight on the coyote.
As I said it is a personal dislike and it is not a professional disliking, with me stating this game is the direct cause of supposed increased violent behavior in kids.
Nope anything with violence in kids is the parents responsibility. It's the parents that need to teach the kids what is right from wrong and being exposed to 'play-violence' can be okay as long as it is pretend-violence. Solid role models - preferably in parent shape - need to be teaching the kids that.
