Someone should write the storyline. This game deserves a whole lot of credit it didn't get.
 * It did not get credit becuase it was not a good game. It was promoted as something new and original and it was not. It was like modern day Prince of persia. I played it and it was just to plain and done before.
 * The issue of "credit" aside, expansion of the article is certainly welcomed. Let's not allow personal taste to obstruct the way the article could be improved. Thanks. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶  16:14, 20 April 2006 (UTC) ╫
 * i agree with the fact that this article need an entry on story line but i also think that, if possible, it should have some more information on how it was banned in australia due to the themes dipicted in it. Xykon 01:08, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If you don't mind me asking, what was the name of the game engine the game used? Just a bit curious as the gameplay videos showed the game with very similar level design and character animations to the PoP games to the point where I was beginning to wonder if it used the same game engine or editing tools.  Do any of you know?  Vgamer101 19:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

the whole sung knew 9/06 stuff is based on bush knowing about 9/11, and how much today's graffitiartists are against bush, sung got his opponent killed the same way bush attacked WTC and they both got more power with it, compare it 9/06 = 9/11, and Bush = Sung, and the CCK = the army or the stronger policeforce (see the documentary: Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State by Alex Jones), and the fact that bush worked with a graffitiartist to kill his opponent is based on the fact that bush worked with the bin laden family in the oilbuissness --G-funkstar 19:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't there some article concerning Ecko's response to the negative gamer response to the product? I thought I read somewhere that Ecko had said something about that. Or did I make that up?


 * He basically said that gamers didn't know what a good game was, claimed that his game was miles better than GTA:SA, said the poor success was due to gamers having a bug up their ass about "anything urban" (while ignoring the success of, y'know... GTA:SA). He then admits that the game didn't play all that great and tries to pin the game's faults and graphical problems on the PS2.


 * I'd love to show this guy a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3. 151.151.21.99 18:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Criticism
The game had an amazingly good story-line, a good voice actor, and the theme of the game is just great overall, being about freedom of expression against a deep-seeded hate for graffiti under the false assumption that all graf-art is "vandalism". The engine could use some work. I found the acrobatics in the game to be very fun (while some people have compared it to PoP, I must tell you, playing both, you'll notice a difference. PoP has a much more fluid system, while GU:CUP seems more rigid and stiff, though still enjoyable). I also enjoy the sense of rebellion, and the ability to basically say "Fuck you, government."

So, people need to stop bad-mouthing it. And yes, a plot does need to be written up - when I get a new chord for my XBox, I'll be sure to go and rent the game and type up a decent plot. 12.107.247.7 02:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC) , People, this arguing is pointless and has nothing to do with the article. In truth, the game was NOT critically panned (receiving a score of 71/100 on the compilation website metacritic.com), this article needs to be redone.68.193.87.97 23:44, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

How about mentioning the PC problem with the game not recognizing the DVD? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.202.6.127 (talk) 03:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
