Hi Ruchi, Hmm mm....I'm seeing the problem, and I'm afraid I don't really have a solution for this kind of problem. If we have to find something on par with Grand Theft Audo minus the drugs, violence, sex, etc I really don't know of anything that comes close and is accessible. Its a case of having expectations that are far too high for the average accessible game, and Grand Theft Audo is definitely not age appropriate for a 9 year old. Here in the U.S.A. the minimum age is 18 and is rated M for mature gamers. However, I can completely understand why he would find other games less satisfying.
For one thing the way the Grand Theft Audo games are designed they have a very open world format. That is the player can freely travel between cities, don't have to do things in any particular order, and there is a lot of content. Especially, if the player purchases and downloads the various expansion packs etc. In other words, it is nearly limitless game play, and most accessible games mainstream or not generally do not have that amount of content. To add to that since GTA III and GTA IV Rock Star Games has hired top actors and actresses to do the voice overs and cutscenes. They have extremely realistic graphics and audio. Its a shining example of what a game company can do when a product is well funded, and has extremely high standards to meet. In short, if you are looking for something that elaborate and is accessible that is not really going to happen. That said, if your son is looking for something accessible with a large world to explore etc two games comes to mind. One is a browser based game called Sryth. Its a sort of dungeons and dragons type game , and might be of some interest. The other is a game called Core Exiles. Core Exiles has a pretty open ended format and might be worth a try. Both a are text based games played through a web browser so they aren't anything like GTA, but they are huge and fairly elaborate in terms of text based games. Cheers!
