How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
North Holland is a district of brownstones and housing projects in northern Algonquin and is the home ground of Dwayne Forge.
The real place
Harlem is the historic centre of African-American culture in Manhattan. Its name comes from the Dutch city of Haarlem, and the game's North Holland, the Dutch province that contains Haarlem, keeps that link.
Visiting
Take the 2 or 3 train to 125th Street for the Apollo Theater. A Sunday gospel service, if you go respectfully, is another way to see the area.
Harlem is also in Marvel's Spider-Man. See all 2 games side by side
