The game Grand Theft Auto IV has been banned in the UK by the Certification body the BBFC, the gaming industry has just turned into a crisis and by banning this game in the UK will cause uproar with gamers.
The BBFC have thrown this game out by refusing to grant GTA IV a UK certificate, the game which is a violent crime series usually gets an 18 certificate rating but not this time.
They say that the high-resolution graphics and amazing stereo sound means the game seems more violent due to being realistic and cannot pass this for sale in the UK without substantial and deep changes made to its content.
