An amazing game, a rare treat on steam, if you are into graffiti art this game is for you. This game has some graffiti artists such as COPE2, OBEY, FUTURA, SEEN, T-KID, and SMITH (they play as themselves) and many more artist that are featured. This game also has a great cast such as Talib Kweli, Adam West (R.I.P), Brittany Murphy (R.I.P), Charlie Murphy (R.I,P), Geogre Hamilton, Giovanni Ribisi, Rosario Dawson, The RZA, Sean "Diddy" Combs, MC Serch, and Andy ♥♥♥♥. Original music by The RZA and RJD2. Gameplay is dated. The story fits with the game and does not feel like a waste of good talent. The graphics do not look bad ps2 quality. The music and the art is true to the graffiti lifestyle. This game is fun and may even inspire some to make art as it did for me. This game works best with a Xbox controller. Thanks to publisher Devolver Digital for bringing this game back.

this is a certified hood classic

Great game, awesome soundtrack.
Now with widescreen and gamepad support
Buy it, do not look at metascore, highly underrated game :)

I dont like hip-hop/rap at all, and I am neutral to graffiti/parkour culture. But game perfectly express and show the atmosphere of these subcultures with awesome soundtrack, voice acting and cut-scenes. Yes, the game tecnically not so good ( "torn" animation, ugly models and flickering textures and etc), but unique style of this game overcomes most of disadvantages. I think this game deserves at least 8/10

🟡 Requires heavy tinkering

1) XInput / Xbox controller mod:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CYKlB4oegKzRe0MT-2UnEvqjhEgOr7qh/view

Overwrite the files in the game's directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Marc Ecko's Getting Up 2\) with the ones included in the mod.

2) Exit Rivatuner Statistics Server to prevent crashing with "Access Violation Exception" error.

3) In launcher set:
- Mode - Fullscreen (borderless is broken)
- Use d3d8to9 driver - activate the checkbox [✓] (this fix texture flickering)

Tested on: OnexPlayer Mini Pro 6800U

dear devs or someone rich please make getting up2

I played Getting Up a long time ago, but I remembered that there was not a game like this one. It is a quite unique mixture of platforming/climbing + fighting the enemies using your combos and weapons + graffiti + some stealth actions.

Pluses:
+ very interesting story. You play as Trane who wants to become famous, to get up, but later you get into political intrigues and scandals and become a rebel!
+ Graffiti! There are lots of styles to choose from.
+ Atmosphere of anti-utopian city. There are guards and patrols who will shoot or try to apprehend you as soon as they spot you.
+ Music! It is one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Songs vary from hip-hop to hard rock!
+ CGI cutscenes. There aren't many of them, but they are very well done.
+ Voice actors. Rosario Dawson, Giovanni Ribisi, Brittany Murphy and many other famous people gave their voices to different characters.

Minuses:
- Not very comfortable controls. Your character sometimes just doesn't want to do what you want him to do. And yes, use gamepad. It's just better.
- Stealth. I love stealth games such as Splinter Cell and Deus Ex, but here it is just poorly executed. It is not obligatory, but you won't survive otherwise.

All in all, solid 9 out of 10! Try it.

We NEED a Remaster/Sequel for this cult classic!

HEY DEVOLVER;

REMASTER THIS GAME AND YOU'LL GET MANY MONEYS

Firstly, if you're going to get this:

This was the game that first taught me about late fees - the hard way. When "underrated/overlooked games" come up, this is always in my top 3.

Even if you didn't play it when it first came out, it's a good freedom fighter/uprising game; you might find the graffiti a little repetitive but there are so many (styles of) tags to spray, it's fine. The combat is simple but fun as well.

Some of the textures have seizures, breaking the immersion and some of the sound is muffled (remember it is a port from an old-ass game); the little I've played of it has shown the transition from obsolete console to pc to be good enough.

Charlie Murphy plays a white guy.


EDIT 1: The main gripe with this game is the camera: at times, it will be impossible to tell while spraying if you're nearing too much paint on one point. A buffing motion is the best way to combat potential dripping.

The next gripe after this is the difficulty: I haven't found an "Easy/Normal/Hard" function... Thankfully. I forgot that the fun to be had in this game was only part of the reason I incurred such hefty late-fees back in 2006; the other part was how unforgiving the mobs of officers and gangers are. Especially when using a controller and the Power Move (in this case, X,X,hold X) can only be accomplished with X,X,mash X.

I stand by this being one of my favorite (relatively obscure) games ever - very few games are as tense as this. Attempting (and no doubt failing) to sneak around enemies is the calm part; bombing active subway tunnels, the trains themselves, the side of a building being panned about with an authority's spotlight... You very well might get up due to adrenaline...


EDIT 2: Amusement Pier: No Checkpoints 'til after you bomb the water tower. Be cautious, especially of the wonky camera angles while on the tower. Do not pick up the bolt cutters until you dispatch the Vandal Squad around the corner.

As with most ports I've played, the dialogue within cutscenes likes to cut out or even get rearranged. One scripted line will be interrupted, to resume after what was supposed to be its rebuttal, to be interrupted again by the next line... All I can say is enable subtitles and read fast.

Andy D-ick plays a fat-pig-female-cop.


EDIT 3: Adam West plays the chief of police.

A flawed, cult classic.
