Any video game out there in the market right now there is certain age group who like the game. This is not the case with Grand Theft Auto series video games. This is the game enjoyed by all age group people because of number of reasons.

With more features added in the series now this game is still the most popular one. You are going to read some of the amazing facts about GTA which you might have overlooked or noticed.
Children Not Allowed (of course in the game)
If you are a real GTA freak then you must have noticed that there is not a single child character in the whole GTA series. This is because of number of reasons as all GTA players know the fact that you can kill almost anybody you come across with. In order to avoid the killing of children and making the whole series controversial the manufacturers have made this game child free. This was the case until recently two child characters in which one of them is in GTA IV. Good or bad but mostly it is encouraged not to have children in the game.
