I started this game and got my pen and paper ready to write every curse word down, as I have with every other one of my reviews. But in the first five minutes, I found it to be impossible. My hand couldn't keep up; there is so much language that it almost overlaps itself. So I will say that there are countless uses of, d*mn, hell, ass, screw, bastard, sh*t, b*tch, the f-word, and misuses of God, Christ, Jesus Christ, and Jesus. There are also countless uses of slang terms like: balls, t*t, d*ck, pr*ck, p*ssy, c*nt and pretty much every other slang term for the male and female genitals. There is no option to turn language off—unless you turn off the sound entirely.

The civilians of Liberty City are loud, dirty-mouthed and do not care about anything or anybody else. Almost anyone on the city streets, at any given time, will use much of the language listed above, almost constantly. This attitude permeates to everything in the city, and even if you go to a fast food restaurant, the greeter will say things like, "Welcome to f*ck'n (enter name here)." It really is that bad. Although, if you pay the toll while crossing a bridge, the man at the stand will say thank you ;p
