It seems that The Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) has taken issue with the game for its glorification of graffiti artists. Originally, the OFLC gave Getting Up a Mature rating back in November, but has since changed its mind and refuses to give the game a rating--a move that essentially bans the title from Australia. Atari, the title's publisher, is naturally quite perturbed, and has issued a statement expressing their discontentment for the OFLC's decision.

The game was released in the US this past Tuesday. The reviews have trickled out slowly, and really don't say anything about the game--GameSpot gives Getting Up an unusually high 8.7, while GamePro trashes the game with a lowly 2.5/5.0 score.
