I love this game its brilliant it gives you years of entertainment. letting your kid play the game is ok as long as they don't mimic the language in it, if they play story mode then as a parent you will have to be with them for certain cut scenes because they might be a bit inappropriate for the under age. However if they play online mode then there is still swearing but not much of it and there are no inappropriate scenes unless your child goes to certain areas of the map. So if you let your kid play GTA make them play the online mode. But all in all I think it is a brilliant game.
