Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars condemned for drug-dealing features
The controversial computer game Grand Theft Auto has been condemned for allowing players to deal drugs.
In a new version of the video game, Chinatown Wars, it will be possible for players to earn money by learning where to sell six types of drug. Players will be able to sell heroin, cocaine, weed, ecstasy, acid and downers to help to pay for weapons and body armour for use in the game.
Anti-drugs charities have accused the creators of the new game of sending out a dangerous message to children. Grand Theft Auto, or GTA as it is commonly known, is one of the most successful video games franchises and is designed to be played on various gaming consoles, including the family-friendly Nintendo DS.
