How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Task Force 141 chases an arms dealer's contact up through a steep hillside favela and later fights its way out across its rooftops. The favela is fictional and is not a named real community.
The real place
Rio's favelas are informal neighbourhoods built up the city's steep hills. Santa Marta in Botafogo is one of the best known and has a hillside funicular.
Visiting
If you want to see a favela, join a tour led by local residents, such as those offered in Santa Marta. Do not wander into other favelas on your own.
