Product Description

Hip-hop artist Talib Kweli provides the voice of Trane, an outcast and rebel determined to establish his credibility in the politically oppressive city of New Radius, but who ultimately becomes the unlikely leader of an urban revolution. "Getting Up" offers players a unique combination of skills, including the sneak and street fighting abilities needed to battle through the city's rough streets and Get IN restricted areas; the dexterity and agility to scale any object in order to Get UP graffiti tags and spread the message of rebellion; and the ingenuity to evade, escape and Get OUT.

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 fighting you can do.

Gosh, i remember when i first played this game at my cousins house a few years back and when i saw this cover, i just about died! my cousin asked me what was wrong and i said "not a thing. what u should ask me is, 'what is awesome?'". marc ecko is my role model. a tagger as a kid, like me, and as that kid, having a dream of showing the beauty of graffiti art. later in life, he had his own clothing company company "Ecko". but anyway, i loved this game. i had so much fun tagging on freeways, i just couldnt stop. overall, its an awesome game and i seariously recommend it to anyone who loves art.

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, but also fight the CCK on his way to becoming a graffiti Legend. Trane, the main character, is exceptionally voiced by the rapper Talib Kweli. This is not a run-of-the-mill generic graffiti game, mind you. With talented figures such as T-KID, Futura2000, COPE2, CES, and 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, P.Diddy, the Notorious B.I.G., all the way to System of a Down. There is no going wrong with this game.
