"Take-Two and Rockstar got into pretty serious trouble over the "Hot Coffee" scandal because Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally rated "M," meaning 17-year-olds could buy it. After the scandal broke, the publishers were forced to re-rate the game as "AO" for adults only. And in June 2006, Take-Two reached an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission promising to accurately depict the contents of its games"

Do you think the new game GTA IV is going to suffer the same fate as GTA: San Andreas and gets re-rated as Adults Only (AO) in 2008?

    I have watched some GTA IV game play videos, and they are definitely "AO" rating. I have no idea why they could pass the "M" rating. If you want to find out, just look for them in youtube.

      Yup, as expected there are strip clubs in GTA IV. And this game is definitely not for kids. But then i am not sure it deserve the "AO" rating.
      You can find all the AO games here. I have never heard of most of these games except GTA: San Adreas:

    In the last few years, I haven't seen a single game receiving 10 out of 10 perfect rating from major game review sites like gamespot.com and ign.com:
    http://www.gamespot.com/search.html?t...
    http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/869/8...

    With such great launch and production value, I really doubt GTA4 will contain anything that doesn't match the current rating.

    I am sure the game developers become more careful this time and make sure the new game doesn't contain any "hidden & adults only" content.
