The Shield Announced

15 Oct, 2006, 11:40 am IST | by Avinash Bali |

Aspyr Media, the twisted folk behind the zombie game (the game that allowed you to play as a zombie), Rebel without a Pulse has announced a new action game for the PC and the PS2 based on the crime drama of the same name and here’s what you can expect from the game:

Developed by Point of View, this third-person action game is a knockdown, drag’em-out brawler that takes place in the gritty inner city streets of Los Angeles.

Players take on the role of Mackey, the tough, street-savvy leader of the Elite Strike Team, a special police unit located deep within the crime-riddled trenches of Los Angeles. Vic lives by his own code of ethics, neither bad nor good, and is a different kind of a cop who is willing to do what it takes to clean up the streets.

In The Shield game, players are able to dive into frenetic-paced gameplay and interact with the complex characters and unique locations that are key trademarks of the series. As Vic, the player will engage in perilous, true-to-life police work (busting crack dens, thwarting bank robberies, taking down gang bangers, apprehending serial killers). In order to succeed, they will need to operate outside the rules by intimidating suspects with brute force, accepting bribes, and holding incriminating information over other cops who don’t agree with Vic’s 'ends justify the means' approach to fighting crime.

Is it me or are games based on TV shows the new in-thing?
