I really liked this game. It had the right attitude; It wasn't in-your-face-yeah-boi-glocks-'n-drugs. The pre-rendered cutscenes were really stylish. The game also had a great incentive to 100%-it with rewards like concept art, which I love. It was really cool to meet infamous artists too. The biggest issue I noticed was the animations, they looked fine, but were slow, almost clunky, an example of "less frames = better gameplay."  
 
I think the biggest problem with these freedom based games, like Mirror's Edge, JSRF, and Getting Up, is that the protagonists have this self-righteous mindset, and they feel the need to go after corrupt governments. Getting Up started alright enough, but of course it all escalated into some government conspiracy. They need to focus more on the characters selfish need to be known.

One my fav games on the PS2....I would pre-order  a sequel.

I really liked Getting Up despite some of the broken mechanics. Let's hope for a better sequel.

Hey! I liked Getting Up, too!

eh who cares. its not the best idea ever or anything. 

I remember buying the Collectors Edition of Getting Up for like 4.99 new at Circuit City way back when. I personally enjoyed the game and would love to see a sequel.

I loved the first one....a sequel would be awesome.

People want a crappy graffiti game instead of playing the better Jet Set Radio? Really?

No I would say just give it a Reboot not a sequel, game wasn't widespread enough for a sequel.
