I never played the game but I recently heard someone said the game was pretty good but Ecko himself is a D-bag.
I always wanted to play Getting Up, but I never got a chance to. I'd love to see a sequel or a remake on current gen platforms.
It is good to hear that the game is being considered for a revival. The game had so much potential when it first came out.
I have fond memories of the original, though I really don't remember much about it.
Unrelated: Mr. Ecko seems like a giant douche.

I actually thought that game was garbage and gave it away to a friend, whom then used it as a coaster because he too apparently didn't think much of it either.
It did have a ton of potential. In it's pre-release I was so mega pumped. It fell short of it's potential though.
With a better team and the new tech I think what GU could've been will be fully realized. Marc Ecko is kind of a douche but he gets shit done. He could do it.

I really liked the first games, i hope the sequel happen. I thought i was the only one in the world to know about this game. And i'm not going to call Ecko a douce because i don't even know the guy.
This game really made me want to become a graffiti artist....i never did it. But, now every time I see graffiti I give it a second look. I love games that inspire passion and imagination.
Meh, if he really wants to do another it couldn't hurt. He has my permission, and let's face it, that's all he ever REALLY wanted.
I actually enjoyed Getting Up. I'm saddened by my 360's inability to play it. All MS needs to do is let me play Getting Up and Castlevania: Whatever of Something. Seriously, I totally forgot the name of that game, but it was fun.

I really enjoyed the game. That one level where you have that giant graffiti battle will go down as one of my favourite moments on the PS2. It had a lot of potential, but a lot of it wasn't really realized in its initial release.
I'd love to see a sequel, and see how much they can do. Better stealth mechanics and better battle system are two things that really come to mind.

Getting Up was a good game from what I played, and it had a fantastic soundtrack to boot as well. A sequel would be awesome, and I would definitely line up to buy it.
This makes me want to get the first one again :(

I LOVE Getting Up! I remember I worked at EB Games (I still haven't gotten my soul back from the soul sucking leeches) when it was announced and I went in the next day pre-ordered and paid of the Limited Edition and told my manager I was taking the day it comes out off.
True enough I had the day off and my manager called me to let me know the shipment just came and he was nice enough to gvie me his copy of the art book (it's actually on my coffee table right now)and let me take home the cardboard standee of Trane (still standing proudly in my room)
Getting Up is the only reason I kept my original X-Box after the 360 came out. Fuck I have to pop in that bad boy that weekend! If Marc Ecko can get a sequel out there I'd cream in my pants.

I only remember this review by Consolevania of it, made me never want to play it. Ever!

The game is really underrated. I just hope the new one has an open world. That was the only thing I believe the first one should have had.
