Now that Grand Theft Auto IV is out, the fight is on! And we’re not talking about any of the game’s missions, but about the efforts of organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) that want more severe restrictions on the game’s rating, in order to prevent in-game behavior to transpose into real life for reckless kids.

MADD warned about the thousands of victims that die each year in drunk driving accidents, saying the manufacturer of the game shouldn’t have introduced the game module that allows players to drive while drunk, saying “drunk driving is not a game and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable.”

The organization said in a press release: “MADD is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to reclassify Grand Theft Auto IV as an Adults Only game, a step up from the current rating of Mature and for the manufacturer to consider a stop in distribution – if not out of responsibility to society then out of respect for the million of victims/survivors of drunk driving.”

The game’s content has been under constant fire from organizations and politicians who believe the game is inappropriate for under-18 buyers. In this game, players have the option to drive under the influence of alcohol after leaving a bar, but they also have the choice to walk or take a taxi.

Rockstar Games answered MADD’s request in a statement sent to the Associated Press on Wednesday, saying: “We have a great deal of respect for MADD’s mission, but we believe the mature audience for Grand Theft Auto IV is more than sophisticated enough to understand the game’s content. For the same reason that you can’t judge an entire film or television program by a single scene, you can’t judge Grand Theft Auto IV by a small aspect of the game.” MADD didn’t respond.
