The game strikes a nice balance between fighting and tagging. At the forefront of Getting Up you'll find not only the graffiti, but also the entire culture surrounding it. By enlisting graffiti legends such as Futura and Shepard Fairey and hip-hop artists like P. Diddy and Talib Kweli, Getting Up presents itself as an immersive experience for those new to graffiti culture.

THIS GAME ROCKS

Just played Marc Ecko's Getting Up. Once you get going its a pretty inventive game.
Just played Marc Ecko's Getting Up. The first 15 minutes of the game are rather dull and you start to wonder why anyone would make such a pathetically easy game. During this time you are basically running around spray painting walls and getting into little mini-fights with not-so tough street thugs. Luckily, after this period of the game it does get more challenging. Stick with it for at least 1/2 hour or until you get to the level where you have to ride the train while spray painting the sides, it gets better from there. The graphics are great although the camera angles can be kind of a pain and soundtrack is awesome. During the game you keep picking up little icons that say ipod to get new songs..

Getting Up Is Getting My Thumbs Up!

When i first purchased this game, I was suspecting greatness from such a person as Mr. Marc Ecko. Not only were my expectations met, but they were surpassed 10 fold! They combined beautiful graphics with awesome gameplay and the in-game art is amazing. I was a little skeptical at first to tell the truth ever since I played The Warriors which did not meet my tagging expectations. but as soon as I tagged my first wall in Getting Up, I was releaved to find they not only 1-upped The Warriors, but they beat them at their own game! I reccomend this game to everyone. Especially fans of art and hip-hop.

Great Game!

I think the best part about this game is the sound. The voice acting in the game are probably one of the best in any game I've come across. The soundtrack is excellent. The hip hop songs (I think 4 of them were made exclusively for the game) go really well with the game and there are a lot of songs to unlock.

getting up is the best

Getting uo is a very magnificant game. I liked the combination of fighting and graffiti. It's amazing because even as trane goes farther and farther throught the game, his graffiti gets better and better, and becomes a stronger fighter. The mix of music is very cool and plays at good points in the game.

Go Buy It

This game has it all from fighting to spray painting a subway car. The sound track is dope and the graffix will just blow you away. In this game you must hit up your name "TRANE" every where you go to start earning your respect but at the same time keep a look out for the CCK because those cats dont mess around. This video is by far the most exciting video game i have ever played. It also gives you a inside view of what graffiti is about and its purpose. Ihighly recomend this video game not only to graffiti writers but to anyone who just loves to play a dope video game, so if you dont have already get it. But just remeber no drips.

a really good game

Incredible voice acting by Talib Kweli was the first thing i noticed about this addictive game. After gettin the hang of the fun combat system and tagging controls i could not put down the controller. New songs are continually opened up throughout the game from artists like Fort Minor and Rakim (which you can choose on your nifty Ipod that Trane carries). The game takes about 15 hours to complete the first time but requires another run through for most to get all of the secret unlockables which provide for a good long gaming experience. Overall a really solid game with a authentic hip-hop presentation that'll keep anyone busy for hours.

Getting Up - Highly Recommended game

For those of you who don't do graffiti like myself this is still an awesome game that everyone needs to check out. I bought it and i highly recommend it for the gameplay, the fighting techniques and the soundtrack adds an awesome dramatic elemnt to the game. The concept is so original and it's about time that an original game not based on some comic book or movie comes out. i respect what they are doing and recommend for anyone over the legal age- whatever that is for this game.
