| Quote: |
The Shield is a 3rd person action videogame capturing the look, feel and authenticity of one of the most talked about programs on television. Detective Vic Mackey and the Strike Team define a new form of policing on FX Network's Emmy and Golden Globe winning police action-drama, The Shield. Sammy Studios is working in cooperation with the show's creators and talent to ensure that the game authentically recreates the same action and visceral emotional impact as the show. Never-before-seen gameplay elements will create a true-to-life police action video game, and moments taken directly from the series will immerse players in the disturbing Farmington underworld now recognized by millions as Vic's universe. Just like the series, players in the game will delve into the grayest areas of the law, employing unconventional police tactics while fighting a war on crime where the lines are blurred on what ends can justify the means. |

» Innovative elements such as "Intimidation" and "Adrenaline" gauges deliver a unique action game experience |

If it is something like a GTA/scarface, playing as a cop can be funny on the side of missions, if it isn't another license having potential thrown to the trash.

The tv-show kicks some serious ass. Only copshow where i am actually on the edge of my seats in most of the episodes.
The game will probably suck monkeyballs though

We all know how this story goes. Game will be ported to the PC with the same graphics (just as with the GTA-games, for instance), will look utterly shit. But since this is a game based on a TV-show, it will be twice as shit. |

One of the greatest tv shows of all times but I can't see it translating too well to a game even if done with great execution.
The great bits in the show are the suprises when he sinks one step deeper yet again, the moral twist between good and evil and evil for the sake of good. After a show I've actually found myself sitting there thinking deep thoughts as it is well written enough to make you question what you believe.
Controlling the action takes away most of the above, plus being a game it is an extra remove from reality.
It will just be another over violent mindless play for a few hours then uninstall fest.
