DESCRIPTION

Play as Trane, a "toy" graffiti artist with the street smarts, athletic prowess and vision to become an "All City King"—the most reputable of all graffiti artists. Along your quest, uncover the mayor’s deep, dark secret.. and use your fighting talents and high-wire graf to expose the city’s leader as a corrupt tyrant.

As you struggle to save a neighborhood from an oppressive government, one question stands out : What if graffiti could change the world ? Risk your life battling city authorities and rival graf gangs—mere obstacles in your attempt to get your tag up. And in this city, not just any tag will do. You’ll have to "Get IN, Get UP and Get OUT."

Authentic tags from more than 50 actual graffiti artists from all over the world - six of whom are characters in the game including Cope 2, FUTURA, OBEY : Shepard Fairey, Seen, Smith and T-kid and will teach Trane their specialties to add to his arsenal of graffiti tools
- 11 distinct metropolis-style environments of New Radius with 20 levels to complete
