But that was Akira Kurosawa. You're Marc Ecko.

How many bad stories out there have been inspired by Shakespeare? This would be yet another one, but likely with the obnoxious trappings of the hip hop world.
If it's not experienced as originally written then it's just another story. There are countless good stories to be told, there's no reason for a bad retelling of a classic.

Literary lolocaust right here.

Hideo Kojima Presents: A Midsummer Night's Dream?
Gabe Newell's Romeo & Juliet?
Hamlet: A Tim Schafer Game?

Bash, you'll eat your words someday when Mark Ecko reimagines Rashomon with disaffected hip-dressing man-children waxing counterculture philosophic in an oddly colorful and stylish ghetto whilst they all tell the same story with differing facts about who be the baby daddy.

So I guess...you're buying ads on the sides of hills in the jungles of Borneo or hiring a skywriter to fly up into the primeval forests of the artic circle somewhere and get the message across to those...handful of people on this planet that don't otherwise know one of the most well known plays written by the most conspicuous and lionized playwrights that has ever lived.

SPOILERS AHEAD
Even though it's one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, I actually think it's one of his weakest. It used a lot of throwaway characters (in the forms of messengers and sentries) to advance the plot of the story, in contrast to Romeo and Juliet, where almost everyone present had an important part.
I mean, just look at Act IV, Scene II.
Messenger: "Oh and some guys are coming to kill you. Bye!"
Lady MacDuff: "Wait, wha—"
Murderers: "Surprise!!"
Son: "You look ugly."
Murderers: "How dare you?!" STAB
SON IS KILLED, LADY MACDUFF RUNS AWAY WITH MURDERERS IN PURSUIT
------------------------------------
But anyways, is Macbeth really that hard to understand? Kill a king to become king, and then karma comes back to smite you in the arse.
But that was Akira Kurosawa. You're Marc Ecko.
Pretty much what we're all thinking here.

"I completely re-imagined Macbeth," he told game site Destructoid. "I don't want to give it away."
Really? Is there more spray-painting? Maybe Banquo's ghost rides in on a skateboard? Or rasta-fy McDuff by 15%?

Thank you, that's pretty much what most of us are probably thinking here.

I'd love to see a game that looked like a videogame version of an issue of Juxtapoz.

"Hmm, let me spraypaint over someone elses work, oh no I caught and beat up and humiliated, I know, I'll change my look and traipse around and keep ruining the dude's work since he made a fool of me, oh no the cops, oh no my grandma"
Really, the dude was a prick.
@bigman88zz: Don't be stupid, if you spraypaint on public property, yes that is vandalism but grafitti artists are a culture and a movement, there ARE grafitti murals and artwork in New York's musem and the shit some of those guys can do with spray paint is unreal.
There's always gonna be people that just paint anywhere with no regards as to who owns it but most grafitti artits know the difference and will either ask permission or just seek out a group where they can hone their craft legally.
The more you know *star flies by*

Graffiti culture is 'Spray Painting Crap on a Wall?'
Really?
Way to keep that mind closed Owen. Keep up the bad work.
