Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure [Limited Edition]

Product description:

Marc Eckō's Getting Up is a unique mix of action, stealth, and street art, where you play as Trane, a young graffiti artist rebelling against a totalitarian government in the fictional city of New Radius. As you adorn walls with messages of resistance, you fight against oppression, rival gangs, and the violent “C.C.K.” law enforcement. The game is stylish, rebellious, and steeped in hip-hop culture.

Three interesting facts:

1. Developed with real graffiti artists
   Renowned artists such as Cope2, Futura, T-Kid 170, and Seen collaborated on the graffiti designs in the game, giving it an authentic street feel.
2. Voice acting by hip-hop icons and actors
   The game features voice work by Talib Kweli (as Trane), RZA, Rosario Dawson, and even Sean “Diddy” Combs — a rare cast for a video game at the time.
3. Banned in certain countries
   Due to promoting illegal graffiti and urban defiance, the game was temporarily banned or heavily censored in countries like Australia, which only further solidified its cult status.
