Puts all the others to shame, I've seen every season 10 times and it never gets old. They don't write seriously intense shows like this anymore, before, or since! I want more Vic Mackey!

The best, most intense cop show ever made

The Shield, great game, but it seems like they rushed it
a1f7 July 2007
Being a Shield fan, I naturally bought this game the second I found it. The start of the game, you get an intro (Previously on the shield....) then your thrown into the deep-end (with a few helpful little tutorial bubbles along the way.
The game kicks off just at the end of season 3 (you know after Lem....) and with a storyline similar to some previous episodes (I won't spoil it for you). You control Vic and progress through "15 levels and 33 playable areas".
BUT it sure as heck didn't feel like it. The game was over far too quickly in my opinion. Just as I was getting into it, the credits role.
As for the content, all characters voices are done by the actors (or very good impersonators) except for Claudette (that really bugged me).
The graphics are not amazing, the characters bear strong resemblances to the show but not great quality. Great use of environment to interrogate people (kinda like The Punisher game) but no enough of it.
So to summarise, Great game, but it felt rushed
CONS:
Far too short
Not enough interrogation
No real value in the "unlockables" (maybe i didn't get the good ones)
Not Claudette's voice
Not enough Lem!!
PROS:
Control Vic
Have Ronnie & Shane as backup
Environmental Interrogation
Shooting (you can shoot the guns out of peoples hands)
Planting Evidence
Byz-lats & One-Niners
ITS THE SHIELD
