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".
