Riding the wave of controversy, Mothers Against Drunk Driving marks the latest organization to protest yesterday's release of Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, X360).

Specifically, the group takes issue with "a game module where players have to drive drunk" as "drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime...not a game."

Though Shacknews is certainly understanding of MADD's concerns, the staff has yet to experience a mission where drunk driving is mandatory. In fact, the game recommends that players make use of a taxi once drunk.

Due to this content, MADD is calling on the Electronic Software Ratings Board to re-rate the game as an Adults Only title, as well as asking developer Rockstar to "consider a stop in distribution."

Grand Theft Auto IV is not the first title in the series to feature drunk driving. In 2002's GTA: Vice City (PC, PS2, Xbox), a mission from Phil Cassidy called "Boomshine Saigon" required players to drive to the hospital while drunk, causing blurred vision and loose driving controls.

I hate the pricks who think that because you can drink and drive in a game it will make people do it in real life. WTF is wrong with these people dont they have something better to do with there lives? Like Jack Thompson what a fucking moron he is. They really need to lay of sewing video game companies, Why? Because Video games don't kill people. Irresponsible parents who let there children have these games DO!!!!

And LOL at this in the comments section of the web stie "G.A.M.W.T.T.F.M. - Guys Against Moms Who Talk Too Fucking Much"

OK, I know this probably sounds stupid, but on the 360 how the hell do you get to the multiplayer? There was no main menu that I could find and I couldn't find it anywhere in the pause menu.

Basically, a fuck around mode. No cops, weapons everywhere, health everywhere and you respawn instantly.

Open your phone (Up on the D-pad for the PS3 at least), then scroll down to multiplayer and hit A or whatever
