Word has come in
from Atari that their tagging-oriented action game Getting Up has
shipped to stores. Featuring graffiti artist Marc Ecko, players
will be tasked with freeing the city of New Radius from the powers that
be, who seem to have a problem with freedom of expression through the
use of graffiti art. Oddly, even though Ecko's name is featured in
the game's title, the main character is actually a chap named Trane.
"Marc
Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure breaks the mold of the
current crop of games by fusing authentic urban culture with truly
diverse gameplay," said Marc Metis, Senior Vice President,
Marketing, Atari, Inc. "With its unique story, talent, music, and
gameplay design, Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure answers
consumers' call for innovation and originality in gaming."
