Tutorial and Walktrough
=Tutorial=

No actual mission takes place after the cutscene, but the game does instruct the player to: Get familiar with the controls, and mount the bicycle. Follow the blip on the map to the "CJ" icon, Carl's Mom's House on Grove Street. At this point the player is free to ignore the directions given by the game, and play as they wish if they so choose.

=Getting Familiar=

After the introductory cinematic scene, CJ is in an alleyway in Jefferson (the territory of the Ballas, a rival gang), with $350 and no weapons. As there is no immediate danger to CJ's safety, it's advisable for the player to take a few moments to familiarize themself with the controls, the pause options, and the Radar. Once comfortable, mount the Bmx with the blue cone marker hovering over it.

=Pedaling Home=

Follow the roads to "CJ" icon on the map. It is southeast of the starting location. It is advisable to read the bicycling tips that pop-up as the player rides, especially if this is their first time playing the game.

Optionally, before heading for the map icon, the player can take a detour for extra items. After mounting the bike, leave the alley and go around the corner on the left to the red building, Jefferson Motel. Climb the stairs to find a MP5 on the roof. Continue on the way to the map icon, but look beneath the bridge overpass near Carl's Mom's House for Armour and a Micro SMG. There's also a Pistol in a back-yard nearby and a Tec-9 on Sweet's house roof.

Enter the Grove Street cul-de-sac, and walk into the round red mission marker to begin Big Smoke (Mission).
