The Shield is an action game based on a popular sensational TV series with the same title - in Poland its name is Swiat glin. We arrive in Los Angeles at the turn of the 20th and 21st century to take on the role of a police detective named Vic Mackey.

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.

The story of the game follows Detective Vic Mackey and the rest of the Elite Strike Team as they struggle to keep the streets of Los Angeles safe at all costs. Standing in their way are legions of gang bangers, drug dealers, pimps, mafia thugs and crooked politicians. However, Vic and the crew aren’t above breaking the rules when it comes to serving up their own brand of justice and keeping their self-interests intact.
