The Shield

The Shield (PS2, 2007) is a gritty, licensed tie-in to the FX crime drama, casting you as Vic Mackey in an original story of police corruption and gang warfare. With a mix of interrogation mechanics, cover-based shooting, and moral choices, it nails the show’s brutal tone—though clunky controls and dated visuals drag it down. A rare TV adaptation that fans of the series might appreciate, but hardly a must-play.
