Got Mad Game

Atari Speak out on the "Getting Up" game controversy

Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure provides fun, innovative and challenging game-play set in the fictional city of "New Radius". The game environment and narrative present a unique setting and look based on the lifestyle and legend of graffiti artists and their chosen art form. The look and feel of the game reflect many aspects of this culture, including its music, fashion, and language, giving the player the ability to "experience" the graffiti art form in a safe and legal setting. The focus of the game is on expression through art; the hero is typically equipped with only paint, and never guns.

The game includes feature-film-level contributions from world-renowned multi-media artists such as Sean “P Diddy” Combs and the RZA, and the voices of actors such as Brittany Murphy, Rosario Dawson and Giovanni Ribisi. Just as popular films and television shows present fictionalized entertainment depicting stories, cultures, characters and actions that may be exaggerated versions of "real-life" people or events, video games such as Getting Up provide amusement and escape in a fantasy world where players can vicariously experience different lifestyles and mock activities.

Atari, Inc. prides itself on providing innovative entertainment experiences like Getting Up. Atari, Inc. does not condone or encourage the commission of any criminal act, or the wrongful suppression of the freedom of artistic expression."

Sincerely,

Ryan Barr
Vice President, Corporate Communications
Atari, Inc.
