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.

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.
so try this game out it is amazing.(for more info visit www.getting-up.com)

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.
GREAT GAME

Getting Up has a pretty solid balance between tagging and fighting. They used graffiti legends as templates so it has a very authentic feel and brings a lot of the graffiti/street culture to the game. With the help of hip-hop artists like P. Diddy and Talib Kweli the soundtrack to the game is awesome! Real actors (ie: Rosario Dawson and Andy Dick) were used for the voice work so the "acting" is one of the best I've ever seen in a game. The story line is really in-depth and has lots of twist...It has definitely kept me glued to my controller. For those of you who always wished you could tag a wall or a side of the building but never had the guts this game is perfect!
Graf/Hip-Hop heads should rejoice

I may be a lil late in getting this game -- my wife just bought it for me the other day. I have to say this is definitely a 5-star game! The box says it does for graf what Tony Hawk did for skateboarding, and that is on point. You can throw your tag(s) up ANYWHERE, with a wide range of styles/colors/stencils/posters/etc... I started playing last night and went again at it today... couldn't put it down!
The music is top notch -- from classics like Mobb Deep's "Survival of the Fittest" to "Cavern" by Liquid Liquid... it's an aural treat. Pack FM and Talib Kweli also stop in to drop some ill tracks and there are a few exclusives in there.
The gameplay is off the chain, too! It's not hard to master the moves at all -- just make sure you don't drip your pieces!
The voice acting is great, too. The whole game feels like a motion picture, with you being the main star.
Buy on sight!
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.
BEST GAME IV EVER PLAYED
