Everybody loves GTA, the franchise has sold more copies than the Beatles and Bon Jovi combined (Love’em both BTW). There is a reason for GTA’s unparralled success and as most GTA veterans will tell you, the reason is the complete freedom to do whatever you feel like. You see a decent man will never go out, punch a cop, hotwire a pizza delivery truck or get a lapdance while he tells his wife how hard his boss is making him work on the phone.

But while playing GTA one can do all that, especially now in pure 720p HD goodness, smoother textures and more visually appealing strippers. So that’s the success story behind GTA. Now if you are bored as I am on most days. you begin to wonder that would we ever see GTA episode in India. I know, its absolutely absurd, but just think about it.

We all know that the “West” or as I like to call it Heaven-on-earth-due-to-Las-Vegas-Superbowl-and-breast-implants is fascinated by India, in fact they are more Indian than most of us in most resects. They know more about Yoga and Kamasutra than most of us, yet both those things are a part of our “culture”. Back to the point, recently Rockstar announced China Town Wars for the Nintendo DS, exciting news and a clear indication that Rockstar is leaning towards the largest population in the World. See its simple:

A) People are addicted to GTA

B)GTA fans will play GTA no matter which race the protagonist belongs to or which part of the World the game is based

C) With a global audience addicted to GTA, Rockstar can develop GTA: Igloo Mafia and people will play it, and calling it Igloo wars will lead to more appeal in Canada and Greenland.

so A+B+C= make one GTA based in Mumbai, cos if there is one city that has the right ingredients for a GTA game, its Mumbai. We have corrupt cops, loads of vehicles, chaos, enough ramps to perform those popular slow-motion stunts, a well connected railway channel, and rickshaws (beat that Vice City), I say Rockstar take notice. I strongly believe in the idea, I think GTA: Mumbai will be a big hit and sell more than any other GTA ever. What do you guys say? BTW check out the video below, I put that to prove my point.
