A Real Fun Game

When I heard Marc Ecko was being involved in a video game I quickly thought this game was not going to be great I've liked the man's past work and clothing line but now he wants to do a videogame? naw. So I decided to give it a try and I have to say this game is really good, it went really past my expectations.

You are Trane and a graf artist and you want to get your name up and get respect. You might think the graffiti is all you do in the game but it is not it has an innovative combat system (if you liked The Warriors you're going to love this one), it has Prince of Persia inspired acrobatics as you try to get to "heaven spots" to get your name up.

As your progress through the game you unlock combo moves and you come across IPOD's laying around the city to unlock songs and the soundtrack to the game has to be one of the best out there featuring Talib Kweli, Pack FM, Jane's Addiction, Fort Minor, Rakim, Bloc Party, and many other great artists it even has Serj Tankian from System of a Down who contributed a remix of Notorious B.I.G.'s "Who Shot Ya?"

The game also has a stellar cast to do the voice acting such as Talib Kweli, Giovanni Ribisi, Charlie Murphy, Brittany Murphy, Andy Dick, and many more.

Overall the game is great it really went over my expectations that i had. Marc Ecko really contributed something great to this game and it's something different than many games out there. Seeing as it displays a Marc Ecko Games logo on the boxart it seems we could expect more great video games from this team and i can't wait.

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.

Doesn't work on many laptops and desktops

Bought the game, I met the specs, and then it crashes when I run it. Further investigation shows that it won't work on my machine, and there is no patch to support it. Very disappointed!

No doubt GETTING UP is a unique artistic yet slick and clever game' but it hasent been the graff game. If you remember the game Jet Grind Radio then you know what I am saying.Graffiti has always been in game' even the classic arcade games had it. There are six legends that you meet in the game.One notable artist, Shepard Fairey, popular for his Obey Giant campaign, has even contributed to both Guitar Hero I and II. You can put up stickers' posters stencils marker tags' shoe polish tags/ pen tags/ and aresol tags for freedom missions. The story is simple you are TRANE you try to become a legend but midway into the game you unravel secrets of the corruped government. All in all the game is great fun and you do get to look for unlockable songs for the game. I give this game a 5 out of 5.
