What if graffiti could change the world?

Product Information

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?

You’ll have to "Get In, Get Up, and Get Out".

As Trane grows from "toy" to "All City King," his style and the state of graffiti evolve. Begin in the 1980s’ train culture scene, where subways were prime targets for gaining fame; continue to a version of the silver-train era, a time of extreme anti-graffiti tactics when the government’s battle cry was "Take Back the City!"
