The Shield

Taking place from a traditional third-person perspective, there are plenty of weapons and coercive techniques at your fingertips. Sometimes you'll be sneaking Sam Fisher-style into crack houses to spy on gangstas and plant drugs; other occasions will devolve into blazing gun battles in the %26lsquo;hood (and sometimes you'll get a bit of both). The choices made will be key in the advancement of the story, as a Heat meter will gauge just how close to the line Mackey gets before getting busted back down to a uniform cop.
