How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A crowded beachfront strip of sand, street vendors and tourists, much quieter after dark.
The real place
Venice Beach and its 2.5-mile Ocean Front Walk are known for street performers, vendors and skaters. The game exaggerates the eccentric seafront crowd and its tourist shops.
Visiting
Go on a weekend afternoon for the full street-performer atmosphere. Keep an eye on your belongings in the busiest stretches.
Venice Beach is also in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. See all 2 games side by side
