The whole reason I even have thoughts about this game is because it did it's own thing it did not make things cartoony, did not go on the path of being closer to an interactive movie, and strayed just enough from the common presentation of (crudely) fundamental gameplay themes where you hit something, operate something else, and end as some sort of savior.How to use x360ce emulator with Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure on PC I do think it can be done, what vein it could be in and what nature of developer touch it would need, but that is another discussion and I am not a game designer. You have to keep in mind that for it's time, Getting Up was easily a AA or AAA release. One would reckon it could be done in an indie release, but I doubt it would be at this degree. At the very least, this game would be seen as too edgy, or incorrectly serious, or too early-2000s, or even juvenile.

Not only because of the way the industry is today, but also where the world is sociopolitically. The game's themes and tone, core game mechanics, the audience it serves and the things it inadvertently sheds a light on - these are things that probably could not be done today. But it makes me ponder if it could even work. I would advocate for seeing a more refined successor to this, maybe even one that is more elaborate. I have also read parts of this game described as Prince Of Persia in a city, which is also a comparison I couldn't agree with.

Like a lot of other games, Getting Up was also incorrectly and unfairly compared to Grand Theft Auto, and that's a very bad comparison in my opinion. The game can also feel a little repetitive depending on your tastes. Particularly the controls and camera something just feels a bit off or unrefined. The game is not janky, but it doesn't quite feel right. If you follow this subculture, there's also some appearances by renowned graffiti artists. The game not only has good backing music, but also has a great selection of licensed songs. The dialogue is appropriate and voiced by some big names. The whole game has a certain sense of style and presentation that I dare say is unique to itself. The gameplay consists of 3D beat-em-up, some urban platforming, a little bit of 'stealth', and ofcourse, spraying graffiti art. The story is about the unreasonableness (and rebellion against) corrupt police and mayors, and urban youth seeking a purpose. The game is about the urban subculture of graffiti art and artists, alongside a bit of hip-hop culture. Although I have a few gripes with it, this game is probably the only one of its kind and one of the most interesting games I have played especially when looking at the medium. I don't know how well known this game is, it had a lukewarm launch and isn't really something that would appeal to most.
