He makes things happen as he chases after underworld domination in Vice City and proceeds to lay waste to his competitors and opposition. On the other hand, Tommy Vercetti is a much more active participant in the story than reactive.
GTA San Andreas is merely fun without bothering itself with realism. His story gets pretty ludicrous at points, including infiltrating secret government labs and stealing jetpacks. CJ's primary motivation is to protect his remaining family while also helping the Grove Street Families rise back up to the top.ĬJ isn't particularly interested in dominating the city and would much rather get by and let live. GTA San Andreas tells the story of Carl Johnson as he makes his way back to his hometown to attend his mom's funeral and gets sucked back into a world of crime.
