Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure is a video game released on February 14, 2006. It was developed by The Collective, Inc. and published by Atari under license by Marc Ecko. There were two editions of the game, one being a limited edition and the other being the normal release.
The game focuses on an amateur graffiti artist known as Trane who uses graffiti and tagging as a way to protest against the corrupt Dystopic city of New Radius, in a future world where freedom of expression is suppressed by a tyrannical, Orwellian city government. The "Contents Under Pressure" title refers to the warning found on most aerosol spray paint cans.
The gameplay is set up like a non-linear fighting game; the story progresses in a linear fashion, without the player needing to complete side missions, as in Grand Theft Auto III, but a certain amount of freedom and open-endedness is available to the player as they complete "Tag Wars" in the first part of the game.
The musical score for the game was produced by underground hip hop artist RJD2.
Despite receiving mediocre reviews, the game is considered to be the most influential and greatest graffiti-themed video game of all time by many critics, gamers, and graffiti fans alike, because of its fresh concept, realistic storyline, deep character development, superior gameplay, quality dialogue and voice acting, scene-fitting soundtrack, precise depiction of graffiti culture characteristics, and use of real life graffiti legends
