GTA III almost had kids you could run over — here's why Rockstar chickened out.
The beta version of GTA III originally featured children NPCs and fully drivable school buses, but Rockstar removed them entirely before release to avoid controversy over violence against minors. The only remnants are rusted school bus wrecks scattered around Liberty City — and that same wrecked bus model became a series staple, reappearing in Vice City, San Andreas, and Liberty City Stories as a hidden legacy of what was cut.
