The gameplay has basically not changed since the first one on ps2, and the graphics are mediocer compared to several other games. Yet a GTA game is allways the top spot or second spot on the most popular games on gamespot. Im writng a paper on this so any help is much appriciated.

Because it's so dangerous and that's what some people of all ages (14-30) are looking for. There's no way they'll be able to go out in the streets and do that kind of violence w/o having some reprecussions from their actions.

One word: freedom. In a GTA game, you're pretty much free to do whatever you want. You can take missions at you leisure, drive around the entire place as you desire (once their open), and can if you're so inclined kill a incredible number of people. I personally don't go for the last part, cathartic as it may be, but it's just that there are so many things you can do in the game. With a number of games being very linear, it's nice to be able to do what you want, when you want. And when you add in all of the non-story things you can do (races, stunts, side quests, etc), it just makes the game that much better.
Yes, the gameplay hasn't changed much in the past five or so years, but when something is done right the first time, you do not need to make changes. The game has made improvements, such as better storylines, better targeting, swimming, etc. And while it may not be the best looking game on the consoles, take into account what it does. With San Andreas, there were no essentially no boundaries and no loading screens going from city to city. You were able to fly vehicles, go literally anywhere you wanted at will. Most games with great graphics limit where you can go, so they can hike up the graphics. So if I had to take a hit in graphical quality in order to have the freedom to do what I want and go where I want, it's worth it. Personally, I like the look of the GTA games. They may not be shiny, but their realistic. Also, as of the last four (especially San Andreas), you can change how your character looks, something 90% of games will not let you do. Being able to customize your character helps bring you into the story, even if just a little.
But that's just my opinion. Hope it helps.

Grand Theft Auto is popular because it was the first open world shooting and driving game. GTA set the benchmark on video games for years to come. That's why the video game world calls any other game that has the same open world, gunplay, and driving is referred to as a "GTA clone."

GTA is popular for a couple of reasons - it is very appealing for people to play a videogame and be able to do things they would never do in real life, carjack people, run people over or shoot people, people see them themselves through the character they are playing as, and mostly people see what they are doing in the game as fun without suffering any real life consequences such as really dying or really going to jail.

Freedom, probably. You can go around shooting people, stealing cars and generally being a "bad ***".
I hope you spell properly in your paper by the way.

well its most likely the freedom, i have all three gta games, and i have to tell you, it took me a year to fiish all of the missions in gta 3,vice city is great..., but san andreas, it just kills it, too much gangster talk, but.....i think more people are playing that scarface game, its just like gta, yea....most likely the freedom to kill innocent people without concequence.
