Marc Eckō's Getting Up®: Contents Under Pressure

In the City of NEW RADIUS, Mayor Sung's call to "Revive" Rebuild, and Renew", is sending shockwaves of hope through a society that has none.

You are TRANE; a graffiti artist sickened by the government tyranny and the exploitation of the people. You must bring to the streets; uncover political scandals, and expose your leaders as corrupt. In the end, you have only one goal: REVOLUTION!

Features:

• A revolutionary storyline written by Marc Ecko
• World-renowned hip-hop artist Kweli as the voice of Trane
• Fighting mechanics that combine kicking, grappling and punching, along with improvised weaponry
• Groundbreaking graffiti gameplay system, designed to sharpen your skills as you tag with Aerosol, Rollers, Markers, Wheat Paste, Stickers and Stencils
• Eleven distinct city environments, with 20 gameplay levels
• Unique "Intuition" system, allowing you to find ideal places to tag
• Authentic tags from more than 50 real-life graffiti artists, six of whom appear in-game as mentors
• A digital "Black Book" to store unlocked tags and Graf images

The Evolution of Graffiti:

• As Trane grows form "Toy" to "All City King," His style and the state of graffiti evolve...

Begin in the 1980's train culture scene, where subways were prime targets for gaining fame; continue to a version of the silver-train era, a time of extreme anti-graffiti tactics when the government's battle cry was "Take Back the City!"

Trane's Abilities:

• Combat: Master a unique fighting technique and use improvised weapons
• Graffiti: Create tags in pressure situations, using multiple skills and styles
• Intuition: Follow your sixth sense to find the best spots to tag
• Sneak: Infiltrate areas and avoid capture as you creep silently through the city
• Navigation: Utilize a unique guidance system to "get up" and tag
