How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A concrete-lined channel through the city that often serves as a chase route.
The real place
The Los Angeles River was lined with concrete after floods in the 1930s and has appeared in many car chases on film. The game reproduces its wide, dry channel and bridges.
Visiting
The new Sixth Street Viaduct (opened 2022) has walkways with good views down into the channel. Do not enter the riverbed itself.
Los Angeles River is also in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and L.A. Noire. See all 3 games side by side
