In the role of a thoughtful urban rebel named
Trane, players tag their way to greatness in this graffiti culture
action-adventure. Set in the fictional city of New Radius, the game pits
Trane against an overbearing, repressive government, and the hero must use stealth, street fighting, and spraycan style to assert his idealistic presence. The characters and storyline of
Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure are said to be the culmination of over seven years of planning by title project lead
Marc Ecko, whose "Rhino" brand of urban attire helped propel him to the heights of the fashion world in the early '90s.
Trane is portrayed by musician
Talib Kweli;
rap artists such as
Sean "Diddy" Combs,
Michael "MC Serch" Berrin, and
The RZA, as well as veteran actors
George Hamilton and
Adam West (among others), also provide voice acting.
