Girls in the game are a very important element of the gameplay, depending on what percentage of success you have with a girl, you get very useful bonuses. Achieving the full favor of a girl (100% success) is quite a chore, well, just like in real life: you need to take care of the girl, endure her whims, and maybe, after quite a long time, the girl will invite you for a glass of coffee to her home, well, and there you are her ... (boys, well, you understand me!). So you've decided to stand up for hard way hero-lover, well, I’ll tell you what you have to do: first, the girl must be taken several times to a restaurant or bar, and you must choose the one that the girl likes, otherwise the date will be unsuccessful and the girl will get angry and throw food at CJ! Then she will ask you to dance an energetic dance with her in the club and will vigilantly ensure that you score at least 3000 points, and you will have to dance several times, and subsequent dances will be more difficult than the previous ones. The friend will then ask you to take her to her favorite places at her chosen speed. Riding girls is not a difficult task, but requires high concentration, on the right side of the screen you will have a special pleasure scale, it fills up during your ride in the area that the girl likes and at the speed that the brat wants. The girl will constantly scream: too fast or too slow and she doesn’t give a damn that there is a huge traffic jam ahead on the road, do as she says and everything will be fine. If you have a speedometer, keep the speed somewhere around 60 km / h - most girls are satisfied with this speed.
When the girl's success level reaches the coveted level, she will invite you for a cup of hot coffee, look, don't get burned, as happened with Rockstar. Girls can be given flowers (can be found in different places) or a vibrator (there are 4 varieties and can be found in different police stations) to make a gift: select an item from inventory, and press the Tab key.
How many percent of favor are charged:
5% - a successful date, successful sex (if you do not use the Hot Coffee mod, then sex will always be successful).
5% - bad date, bad sex.
1% - flowers or a vibrator as a gift, a successful kiss (you must kiss no earlier than 30%).

Carl Johnson - main character game, voiced by rapper Young Maylay. Born at Johnson House, Gunton, Los Santos. Mother - Beverly Johnson, and not just a mother, but a large and single.
In addition to Carl, the Johnson family included a brother, Sean (the oldest), a brother, Brian (the youngest), and a sister, Candle (the youngest).
Little is known about the father, but Old Rhys remembered him, although the subject's sanity may be questioned. CJ himself says that he never knew and does not remember his dad.
Until 1987, Karl did not leave (at least for a long time). It was in his youth that he suffered psychological trauma when he swam in the sea and a used condom floated in his face. Since then, he has not been too fond of water.
In 1987, a series of events took place when they began to put pressure on the part of corrupt police officers, and she gradually weakened under their oppression. In addition, young Brian dies this year, and Karl, after all these upheavals, leaves for Liberty City.
Karl's age does not have an exact value, since the year of his birth is not mentioned anywhere. But we can assume that if during the game he buys alcohol in a bar, then in 1992 he was at least 21 years old. Accordingly, he must be 16 in the 87th when he leaves for Liberty, but since he leaves in his own transport, he must have a license, and this is at least 18 years old. Therefore, it must be that at the time of the events GTA San Andreas, Carl is somewhere between 23 and 25 years old, as he looks quite young (and not too tall).
Outwardly, Karl resembles rapper Dr. Dre and football player Thierry Henry. The color of the eyes, apparently, is blue, which indicates the admixture of European blood in it. CJ is the second of the main characters in the series who "officially" smoke marijuana.
By the way, CJ is Carl's nickname, made up of two letters of his initials C and J (Carl Johnson). Therefore, using his name as "Karl CJ" is incorrect.
Life in Liberty City
Carl's time in Liberty is interesting primarily because it connects San Andreas with another part of the game series. But, unfortunately, not much is known about this.In Liberty City, CJ worked with Salvator's son Leone (Joey) and was engaged in car thefts and gop-stop on the streets for all five years, until Sweet calls him and says that his mother was killed by shooting right from a passing car.
And Carl comes back.
Life after San Andreas
At the end of the GTA San Andreas story, Carl Johnson becomes a young millionaire. He owns many lands, real estate and he has investments.But after 1992 there is no information about him. It is possible that he died, as Rockstar Games made it clear that in the new world of Grand Theft Auto(after 2008) there was no room left for the old heroes.
Although, inquisitive minds found in Liberty City a poster advertising a certain “Fruntalot”, which depicts someone who looks like an older and more distinguished Karl (in a hat and suit) with a glass of wine. Perhaps Karl returned to Liberty after '92 and expanded his business?
Simple calculations say that in 2008, at the moment, he should be at least 38 years old.
And finally, there is a direct reference to Karl in the game from Rockstar: Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare. After killing a sasquatch, you get a trophy that translates to "Look no more for CJ".
Personality of Carl Johnson
Unlike the previous characters in the series (Claude and Tommy), Carl has a bigger heart than them. He does not kill without a twinge of conscience, and is often very worried or gives his victims a chance. He forgives Pulaski, and when he kills members of his gang, he sincerely repents of this and regrets it.But, on the other hand, he is an integral person who stubbornly goes to conquer new territories and peaks, and does not stop at nothing when it comes to other, competing gangs.

A series of computer games "GTA" has become legendary, having gathered millions of fans around the world. All five parts turned out to be really outstanding, and the additions to them came out no worse than the original projects. This is best demonstrated by "San Andreas" - an addition to the third part of "GTA", which completely changed both the city in which the events take place, and storyline as well as the main character. In the new part, he became a young black man, Carl Johnson, nicknamed CJ, who will be discussed in this article. If you have played this part"GTA", then you are already familiar with it, however, it is likely that you do not know all the details about it. And if you are completely unfamiliar with him, then this material will be even more interesting for you, and will also awaken in you the desire to get to know this hero better. Carl Johnson is one of the most popular and beloved protagonists in the entire series. And now you will find out why he got such fame.
background
So what is this hero? First, it’s worth telling about what his story is, that is, briefly describing the events that took place before the game. According to the story, Carl Johnson was born in 1968 in Los Santos in big family- He had an older brother, and then a younger one appeared, as well as a sister. While still a teenager, he joined a local gang called the Grove Street Families, in whose life he took an active part. However, in 1987, when he was nineteen years old, everything changed dramatically - Carl's younger brother Brian died. The latter began to blame Brian for his death. As a result, Carl Johnson left his hometown, trying to escape from his past, and moved to Liberty City, where he got a job for a local mafia - he stole cars for him, not getting involved in more serious matters. But five years later, everything changes again.
Return to Los Santos
In 1992, when Karl was 24 years old, he learns from his older brother that his mother was killed. That is why he returns to Los Santos, but in the end he stays there. The thing is that the gang that defended his native quarter suffers greatly from the attacks of others, so even innocent people become victims. And, of course, only Carl Johnson can save the situation. GTA: San Andreas starts from the moment the protagonist returns to his hometown, where he starts earning his reputation from scratch, gradually earning authority in his gang and increasing its influence in the city. As a result, the Grove Street Families regain their influence and seize territory one after another, until the cunning police chief causes a skirmish between the gangs, as a result of which all important personalities are removed from the stage - someone dies, someone ends up in jail like Carl's older brother. Karl himself finds himself in the province, far from the lost Los Santos, where he is supported by his sister and her young man. With their help, he vigorous activity even in cramped conditions - such is Carl Johnson. "San Andreas" will allow you not only to control this character, this game will give you the opportunity to get used to his role and fully empathize with him.
Village of Angels
In GTA: San Andreas, Carl Johnson will go through various difficulties, and in the village he will have a very difficult time. The fact is that because of the threats of the police, he will have to give up everything he had in order to do their dirty work for them. Naturally, at the same time, Karl retains the hope of returning to his hometown in order to restore everything there after the lawlessness arranged by the police. But in the meantime, he has to complete tasks from the police, in the process of which he meets Pravda, a local marijuana dealer, with whom he makes friends. As a result, together with him, he leaves for San Fierro to start new life while working in a garage that he managed to win. The story of Carl Johnson, of course, does not end there - after all, he is still destined to return to Los Santos.
San Fierro
Having opened his own garage, Carl Johnson begins a new life, but not at all as harmless as it may seem from the outside. After all, he continues to earn the most money mainly from car thefts, and not from their repairs. In parallel, he goes to those people who were associated with the destruction of his own gang, rubs himself into their confidence, finds out all the necessary information, and then eliminates them. As a result, he gets to Mike Toreno, whose helicopter CJ blows up. However, everything is not so simple.
Las Venturas
At some point, an unknown person meets with Carl, who turns out to be the same Mike Toreno. No, he didn't survive the helicopter crash, he just wasn't there. The fact is that Toreno is not a bandit at all, but an undercover agent who promises to free his older brother Carl in exchange for help. As a result, CJ works immediately for the Los Santos police, and for Toreno, and for himself. Gradually, he rises higher, redeems his return to Los Santos from the police, and also saves the life of a famous rapper, becoming his manager. And this is a direct ticket to Los Santos. But the problem is that the rapper's mansion was sold, so CJ will have to win it back in order to safely return to Los Santos, where he will have to complete the last task of Toreno, after which his brother will be free.
Back to Los Santos
In Los Santos, a whole new life begins in CJ's mansion. As for Toreno, he gives Carl the incredibly difficult task of hijacking an airplane, during which he almost dies. When Toreno appears again, CJ is about to kill him on the spot, but suddenly the phone rings, and Carl's older brother says that he has been released from prison. Now CJ has to pick him up - he invites his brother to go to the mansion, but he convinces Carl that they need to restore their area and win back influence. This is what they are starting to do, and extremely successfully. The cops responsible for the riot end up in court but are acquitted. In the end, Carl has to deal with it. When order is restored, CJ begins another new life, in which he is practically the owner of his hometown.
What happened after the game?
These events fit into the GTA: San Andreas game, but Karl's story did not end there. No, he does not appear in subsequent games, but references to him can be found everywhere. If you pay attention, you will notice that Carl Johnson will catch your eye more than once. A photograph of him can be seen on a huge billboard in the fourth part of the game, where he looks very solid. It is reported that he became a millionaire who receives income from a variety of sources - up to a casino in Liberty City, where his name can be found when passing the corresponding add-on to the fourth part of the series.
Carl's personality
Separately, it is worth talking about how Karl has a character - because so far you have only learned his life story. Carl Johnson in real life would not be a very noticeable person, because he has a very calm and quiet character, but at the same time he has an incredible ability to earn authority for himself with absolutely everyone around. He does not like to kill and prefers to resolve things in a more peaceful way, but if necessary, such as if his family's honor is affected, he can be incredibly cold-blooded and even cruel. As for his personal life, here he is extremely shy and sometimes even too naive. It was thanks to this that Catalina manipulated him during the game, leaving him when she did not need him.
If you want to know a little more about the "technical" side of CJ, there are several interesting facts which may even surprise you. For example, the fact that this particular character in the entire series of games is the most capable - he can fly planes and helicopters, ride a bike, handle dozens of various kinds weapons, change hairstyle, make tattoos, pump up muscles and much more. He also became the first hero to gain the ability to swim and shoot from two cannons - earlier the heroes of the series drowned in water, and fired with only one hand.
Character nicknamed " cJ" (short for his name, eng. Carl Johnson) - (b. in 1967) main character games Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. One of the leaders of the street gang Grove Street Families in Los Santos.
Biography in GTA: San Andreas
Prologue
The character nicknamed "CJ" was born in 1967. After the death of his younger brother Brian in 1987, Carl leaves Los Santos and moves to Liberty City. There he works for Joey Leone, the son of Salvatore, the boss of the Leone mafia family. In 1992, Carl returned to his hometown, having learned from his older brother Sean Johnson (Eng. Sean "Sweet" Johnson) (in the Russian version - Handsome) about the murder of his mother.
Los Santos
Returning to his hometown, Karl instantly finds himself in a whirlpool of events. The taxi in which Carl was driving home is stopped by the police: Frank Tenpenny, Jimmy Hernandez and Eddie Pulaski, who turned out to be Carl's "good" old acquaintances. He is blamed for the murder of a policeman and forbidden to leave the city. The gang "Grove Street Families", created by his family, is on the verge of disintegration. Melvin Harris, nicknamed "Big Smoke" and Lance Wilson, nicknamed "Ryder" (in the Russian version - Ryder), who form the backbone of the gang, are involved in incomprehensible affairs. Rival gang "Ballas" keeps control most cities and actively distributes drugs. CJ's older brother Sean unsuccessfully tries to put everything in order. CJ's sister Kendl is dating Caesar (in Russian - Cesare) Vialpando from a Latin American gang and therefore cannot get along with his older brother. CJ at first, too, is not eager to change everything, although he is surprised by this state of affairs. Nevertheless, gradually he delves into the essence of what is happening (as it seems to him). He manages to raise his profile a little, and it seems that the gang will soon take a leading position in the city. Sean calls a gang rally under the Mulholland junction. Unexpectedly (thanks to Caesar) it turns out that Ryder and Smoke (in Russian - Parovoz) have been working for Tenpenny for a long time. Karl realizes that Sweet is trapped and at least jail, if not death, awaits him. He quickly goes to the place of disassembly and finds his brother injured. He gets into a shootout with the Ballas. At this moment, a squad of police officers appears, who take everyone who is not yet dead at the crime scene, including CJ and his brother. Sweet ends up in a prison hospital, and the Grove Street gang finally falls apart.

Carl wakes up in a police car with a bag over his head. In addition to him, old acquaintances Tenpenny and Pulaski are sitting in the car, as well as a newcomer to the department - officer Jimmy Hernandez. As the conversation progresses, it turns out that Sean is alive, but is in the prison infirmary, and that the cops again need someone to do their dirty work. CJ gets a relative freedom of action, with an order not to meddle in Los Santos, in exchange for a promise to kill a witness in the case of corrupt police officers. He makes several new acquaintances, including Caesar's cousin Catalina, known to the player from Grand Theft Auto III. With her, he commits several robberies, then participates in illegal races, where he meets an influential member of the Triad from San Fierro, Wu Zi Mu, nicknamed "Woozie". He also meets a strange hippie named "The Truth". The righteous (as his nickname is translated) grows "grass" on his farm. At the moment when CJ arrives for the goods, they are found by a police helicopter. Having shot down a helicopter with a grenade launcher taken from a hippie, CJ gets behind the wheel and, together with the Righteous, goes to San Fierro, to a garage won at the races.
San Fierro

The righteous suddenly realizes that he has the necessary acquaintances in this field. With their help, the case gets off the ground, CJ has money. However, he does not forget about his brother and the gang, and conducts his own investigation of what is happening in hometown. Gradually it turns out that a criminal syndicate is located in San Fierro, through which drugs are supplied to Los Santos. CJ rubs himself into the credibility of the heads of the syndicate. In San Fierro, these are pimp Jizzy, T-Bone Mendez, and Mike Toreno. From Los Santos, and, accordingly, Smoke, Ryder operates. After learning everything he needed to know, Carl kills Jizzy in his pimp car, then kills T-Bone on the wharf during the deal, kills Ryder in the ensuing chase, then shoots down the helicopter with Toreno on board and blows up the crack factory. At some point, an unknown person calls him and offers to meet at a ranch near Las Venturas.
Desert
After the tasks of San Fiero, a stranger calls Karl and asks (or rather orders) him to arrive at a ranch in the desert in the Tierra Raboda area. The stranger turns out to be Mike Toreno. In fact, he was not in the helicopter that Karl shot down. Mike turns out to be a CIA agent who was ordered to lead a syndicate Loco (as a saboteur) money. Toreno immediately sets a task for Karl: to learn to fly.
Las Venturas
At some point, Wuzi Mu receives a call offering him a stake in the casino in exchange for help, including clearing obstacles and robbing a rival casino. While working on this, Carl accidentally sees how Madd Dogg(in Russian - Crazy Cupcake), famous rapper trying to commit suicide. Carl saves Dogg from death in a rather cunning way (feeling guilt in front of him for his moral decline, because earlier in Los Santos, helping his friend, an aspiring rapper, stole Madd Dogg's diary with all the records) takes him to the hospital, along the way offering himself as the new manager. family business further. During this, he receives a call from Tenpenny asking to meet. After completing another dirty job, CJ gives Tenpenny a dossier on him. Tenpenny leaves, and Officer Hernandez, at the cost of his life, gives CJ a chance to kill Pulaski, and he uses it. At this time, Madd Dogg leaves the hospital, finds Carl, and he decides to return to Los Santos, but already to Madd's mansion. Then an unexpected obstacle appears - Dogg, being drunk, sold his mansion to the drug lord of the gang. Los Santos Vagos. CJ, however, is not bothered at all; he decides to take back Madd Dogg's mansion with the help of Woozy.
Return to Los Santos
Having successfully recaptured Madd's mansion, CJ settles there with his sister and Caesar. While recording Dogg's new album, Carl stumbles upon Toreno in the studio. He asks him to do nothing at all: steal a military fighter from an aircraft carrier in San Fierro, simultaneously shooting down three pursuers, and at the same time sink three ships near his ranch. Carl succeeds in this as well, although he nearly dies. Meeting Toreno the next time in his studio with a "request", Carl does not hesitate to put a gun to his forehead. Suddenly the phone rings and Sean says that he has just been released. Toreno's request is that Carl just needs to pick up his brother from prison. Having picked up Sean, Carl is going to go to the mansion, buying clothes for his brother on the way, but he suddenly gets angry and forces CJ to go to his native area, which is in ruins. Sean resolutely declares that he will not go to any mansion, and CJ has to help his brother in reclaiming the area. Gradually, they begin to win back authority and other areas from Ballas. At this time, a show trial is held over Tenpenny, which ends with an acquittal on all counts. Seeing this, CJ and his friends are outraged, and a real riot against the police begins on the streets. Sean finds out where Smoke is hiding. Carl alone, leaving his brother in the car, fights his way to Smoke. Unsuccessfully, he tries to convince him to surrender, Smoke opens fire. Carl kills him. Tenpenny appears, holding CJ at gunpoint. With the help of cunning, Karl avoids death, but is forced to save his brother, who recklessly rushed to the Tenpenny fire truck. After a long chase, Tenpenny loses control and falls off a bridge. With difficulty, he gets out of the car and dies from his injuries.

At the time of release GTA: San Andreas became the record holder for the number of guest actors for voicing a game - no other game project could not boast of the figure of 339 people. Quantity does not always mean quality, but SA is excluded from this rule, because the actors worked wonderfully, and everything turned out atmospheric.
Despite different type rumors that the protagonist was voiced by comedian Dave Chappell or rapper 50 Cent, CJ got his voice from Christopher Bellard, better known as rapper Young Maylay. He can be known for his collaborations with such artists as Ice Cube, WC and others. In appearance, the actor and the hero are almost identical, apparently due to the fact that Carl has a resemblance to Michael Washington, which caused a scandal and litigation quite recently.

After working on the game, Chris released his first music release, whose title was "San Andreas: The Original Mixtape". The cover is stylized as the cover of SA. The tracks featured music from the game, including the title theme song.

The role of Sean Johnson, better known as Sweet (eng. - Sweetie, Handsome), was assigned to actor Faizon Love, who played in such films as "Elf", "Friday" and "Torque". In the gaming industry, this is his first and so far the last experience.
Frazon Love and Sweet.

Melvin Harris, better known as Big Smoke, is voiced by actor Clifton Powell. His track record includes the role of Sean in the film 50 Cent "Before I Self Destruct", the role of Earl in the comedy "Norbit", the role of Luke in the film "Rush Hour", the role of Chauncey in the drama "A Menace to Society", roles in the TV series "M.D. "," Law & Order "," Crime Scene "and a little more than a hundred roles.

Like most heroes, Big Smoke also had a beta version that can be seen in the game: in the last mission, there is a statue of a traitor in Smoke's hideout.

The only sister of the Johnson brothers, Candle, was voiced by actress Yolanda Whitaker, also known in the world of hip-hop as Yo-Yo. The girl tried on more than 15 roles, including a role in "A Threat to Society". In music, she had more success, releasing 5 studio album(however, one of the bottoms remained unreleased), 2 EPs and about 14 singles.

Another rapper, MC Eiht, provided the voice for another prominent character - Lance Wilson (aka Ryder), who starred in Public Threat and several other films. He has 14 solo and eight joint albums. There is no doubt that when working on the appearance of the character, the developers used the appearance of the late rapper Eazy-E.

Clifton Collins Jr., who voiced Caesar Vialpando, starred in projects such as Adrenaline 2, Crime Scene, and Threat to Society along with Yo-Yo, Clifton Powell.

The voice of Jeffrey Cross, also known under the pseudonym OG Loc, belongs to actors Jonathan Anderson. It is possible that given character is a parody of the rapper Ja Rule, who was suspected of stealing rhymes and other style traits of another rapper under the pseudonym DMX. Looking ahead, it should be noted that another rapper took part in the dubbing of the game, being on the same label with 50 Cent at the time, who at that time had a beef (feud between two rappers) with Ja Rule. So it could be a cleverly crafted mockery, who knows...

Another hip-hop figure voiced a hero with his native profession. It's about the voice acting of Madd rapper Dogg by the legendary Ice T, oh musical achievements which need not be said again. In addition to regular roles in television and film projects, Triesi Morrow took part in the games Sanity, Aiken's Artifact and Scarface: The World Is Yours, and in this moment working on Gears of War 3. It is noticeable that in some ways Ice T became the prototype for Madd Dogg.
The alias Madd Dogg may be based on the nickname of Vincent Call, an Irish hitman. There is also a variant of origin that the phrase appeared after the combination of the name Snoop Dogg and the previous name ("Mad Doc") of the now related company "Rockstar New England".

small but important role received Armando Riesco, who voiced another officer - Jimmy Hernandez. Perhaps the only film from the short track record of the actor can say something to the average viewer - "National Treasure", where he played the role of FBI agent Hendrix. Riesco was more successful in voicing games. The first experience of this kind was the work on Vice City, where he voiced the small role of a supplier. By the way, after the role of Hernandez (and part-time he also voiced ordinary pedestrians) in San Andreas, Armando worked on The Ballad of Gay Tony, giving voice to an ordinary parking attendant. As you can see, the history of his appearances in the series is very interesting. But in addition to GTA, Riesco voiced such popular games like Midnight Club 2, the Warriors, Need for Speed: Undercover and Need for Speed: World.

A brutal gangster named (or nicknamed) T-Bone Mendez was voiced by Los Angeles rapper with Mexican origin Kid Frost. He may not have many roles in his track record as an actor, but as a musician, Kid is doing well. By the way, the song "La Raza" performed by him is heard on the Radio Los Santos radio station.
Mendez wears a unique jersey that is not found anywhere else in the game, despite the fact that there are similar ones. Such shirts were worn by members of Mexican gangs for 30 years: from the 1970s to the late 1990s. By the way, it is not known whether T-Bone Mendez is related to the Mendez brothers from Vice City Stories. Rock musician and vocalist Sean Ryder, a member of the Black Grape band, voiced Meisser, who appears in the game constantly along with Kent Paul. Sean participated in the creation of the soundtrack for the films "The Devil Wears Prada", "Goal" and others.
