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.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up is a great game. It's basically about expression freedom. The graphics for the XBox version are really cool (better than the PS2 version) and playability is great too. What I personally like the most about the game is it's soundtrack, it features artists like Fort Minor in it and makes you catch the hiphop style of the game. YOU MUST GET IT!

Its cool to see a game that does something different. Ive been playing for three days and can't put it down. The soundtrack is off the hook and the tagging is fresh. Check it out for your self.

so few games have art in them .....making art in them and a story line....this one is epic. Love it.

Being a 70's baby, all this connects to my points of hip hop - tagging, breaking, DJ'ing, the gear and the wears, the soundtrack!

If you are not a true hip-hop head, this game is not for you. But, if you want a sample of the culture and have fun while doing it, this is the game for you!

I hope and pray they upgrade a version for the Xbox 360!

A deinate must have for any hip hop head!

If you are looking for a challenge check this game out. This game is challenging but fun at the same time. The music is great and the graphics are off the hook. Once you get started with this game you get hooked and can't put it down. If you are into wall art work you should check this game out it has some great techniques in it. The story line is also one of the things that make this game tight; you have to make use some amazing moves to get to some of the areas you need to tag on. Check this game out as soon as you can!!!

Some of the strong points about this game have to do with sound. I really enjoyed the soundtrack and the talent of the many voice actors. I found the plot interesting and innovative. Trane's character is just so complex. Also, I would give the graphics an A+ rating and props to Marc Ecko for being so multi-talented. The gameplay will definitely keep one entertained for hours on end.

This game is absolute amazing. One of the best games in my collection. It shows the culture of graffiti artists, sometihng that you can't experience first hand. The graphics are amazing with very realistic features. The music itself makes the gaming experience a whole lot better with artists such as P. Diddy, Fort Minor, Talib Kweli and many more. A must have game.
