Seems Rockstar never shy away from the controversy spotlight and they have already been slated by NYC officials and New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly. New York officials are already voicing their disdain for the game and saying the similarities are only cosmetic. They have said...

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said:
The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers

New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly said:
It's despicable to glamorize violence in games like these, regardless of how far-fetched the setting may be.

hahaha... mardy gits! a level of resistance: fall of man is nottingham but i don't see my house infested with chimera!

GTA has always been a game thats under the media spotlight and always will be, also when Manhunt 2 comes out i can imagine the stories and views of people...

They just need to lay off games and stop talking things so seriously and blaming games for problems in society.

it's only the minority of complete retards that re-enacted games. i mean, how thick do you have to be to do that?

Not just thick people its people that are already mentally disturbed that see blaming games as the easy way out and the media spotlight then jumps on the games instead of the psycho individual.
 
:lol: people are and always have been dumb. No matter what..

But it's not like they're taking facial scans of all of the NY police department and putting them in the game or something.

Seems like the world cant seperate harmless video game fun from a madman on streets with a weapon and seem to think that playing games like this MAKES people do that which is not true.

Correct and if someone imagination causes them to go out and kill someone then they are already messed up in the head and if a game triggers it that just means anything could have. A game/music track/movie... anything...
