What does everyone think of this game? I really want to play it because it looks like a great idea. I'm not too sure about having violence in it though...it is just about grafitti.

I don't really know what to think of it yet. It is the kind of game you need to try before you know what to think of it. The concept is a little iffy but it could work. Doubt I would ever buy it though. Wierd name too.

Anyone else think that Getting Up is really just a typo and that the real name was supposed to be Marc Ecko's Getting Off?

LMAO!

No it is "Getting Up". Its a neat educational game showing how Viagra affects the body. The mini-game with the Viagra Cruiser fighting anti-bodies and bacteria and trying to make it to the digestinal tract is neat also. Very reminiscent of Gradius.

They really made a bad choice with that name

I might give it a rent to give respect to a fellow Graffiti Artist. Im mean Ex graffiti Artist.

To all the people who dont know what "Getting Up" means, It means to Write Graffiti.

And the percentage of the general gaming populace that relates "getting up" to graffiti???

The general gaming populace won't, but graffiti writers will.

Getting up is throwing your name UP around town, in multiple places. The more up you are, the more respect you get, and the more kiddies wanna bite your style. It can also stand for "Under Pressure", as in, the more you write, the more the cops are out to get you.

RIP Hip Hop.

I am definitely gonna cop this game

[Ackman]

I want it ,I just hope it's better than Crime Life gang wars which will be pretty easy considering that getting a steaming pile of dog crap thrown in your face is better than CL GW damn you konami for allowing such a dirty piece of garbage to be released.

There was a story on NPR yesterday afternoon about this game. Only caought the tail end of it. Basically, the gamer reviewing it (non-pro) said the game made him more interested in graf, but he'd probably never play the game again.

I have a feeling this is another in a long like of hyped to the hills, but ultimately dissapointing games. I haven't played it, so it's not fair of me to say that, but I wouldn't be suprized to see the reviews saying basically that.

Is this as dumb as it sounds?

I always admired people who seek respect from "kiddies." Must be true adults.
