The Limited Edition was packaged very well. The black book was a very cool idea. I immediately whipped out my silver sharpie and tagged my name onto the book in my best graf type. The soundtrack is also very decent. I haven't watched the making of but thos are usually always interesting to watch. I definitely thing the extras were worth the additional $10 on pure novelty alone.

And Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?" remixed my Serj Tankian is a trip indeed and makes for eerie fast paced in-game music.

The Graffiti is awesome and the fighting, climbing, jumping and sneaking is just as engrossing. I promise you will never play another game like it. A futuristic, urban graffiti simulator that involves arcade style fighting, a bit of stealth and a lot of climbing. At times you feel like KING KONG with a spray can.

Fun game. I would definitely recommend this for a purchase.

The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because it didn't include a first person view of the spray can and allow me to really try to paint. Even if it where withing an outline. I would have preferred that option. But the way it is setup keeps the game moving and allows anyone to pick up the controller and "get up."

I had been waiting forever for this game. Obviously i had to get the special limited editiion. I liked all the collectible items such as the Development black book, the silver sharpie and the music cd. The game was really awesome, i liked the way you can switch the outlines and graff you do, and how you can change the colors of the graff you decide to put up in the in-game black book. Another cool part is that a lot of famous grafiti artists and rap artists that helped out in this game. Overall this game really reminded me of myself and made me want to go out and paint! It is also almost like an urban spider man with all the acrobatic moves and fight you can do.

For those who are just getting into the world of graffiti, this is the game for you. Marc Ecko's Getting Up is an excellent mix of the Grand Theft Auto series with the legendary Style Wars movie. Not only does the player get to tag all over the city of New Radius, but also fight the Civil Conduct Keepers (CCK) on his way to becoming a graffiti Legend. Trane, the main character, is exceptionally voiced by the rapper Talib Kweli. More voice talent is provided by Charlie Murphy, as 'White Mike', and Brittany Murphy, as the news reporter. This is not a run-of-the-mill generic graffiti game, mind you. With talented figures such as SmithSANE, T-KID, SEEN, Futura2000, COPE2, CES, and Shepard Fairey, aka OBEY, supplying their skills, among many others, this game knows what graffiti is all about. If you're worried about tagging or fighting to wack music, have no fear: the game is loaded with an excellent soundtrack. From Mobb Deep, Rakim, P.Diddy, the Notorious B.I.G., all the way to System of a Down. There is no going wrong with this game.
