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.

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.

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.
