Sift Heads 3 Walkthrough

Sift Heads 3 is the third game in the Sift Heads series of assassin games. Sift Heads 3 features improved graphics and animations, a new control scheme, and three difficulty levels. As a piece of trivial information, the music loop used on the menu of this sniper game is and excerpt of "Inner City Blues" from Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" album.

Sift Heads 3 features three difficulty levels: easy,medium, and hard. If this is your first time playing, then I advise you not to try to start on the hard difficulty level. This assassin game is much different compared to its predecessors and features a gameplay style that is akin to beat-em-up games rather than pure sniper games. Unlike in Sift Heads 2, your progress is not saved in Sift Heads 3, so you will have to start from the beginning each time that you play the game. You will be able to resume from the last checkpoint if you die, however.

Sift Heads 3 uses a a standard control scheme for a beat-em-up game. The WASD keys are used to move. Press the S key to block attacks and perform special actions. Use the mouse to aim and click to attack. If you hold the S key while attacking with a melee weapon, you will perform a heavy attack. The Q key is used to switch weapons and the E key reloads guns.

Unlike the prior Sift Heads games, you are not given briefings with targets to assassinate in Sift Heads 3. Instead, you will have to scale a building, defeating thugs as you go. In some cases you will be outnumbered two-to-one. In these situations, try to isolate opponents, sticking and moving as necessary. You can advance to the next screen by passing by your enemies, but you will eventually have to beat them, so I don't advise running away unless you are low on health and want to search for a replenishment. Also, don't forget to block and combo heavy attacks with quick attacks.

Sift Heads 3 is a solid Flash game that continues the storyline of the prior Sift Heads games, but it is something completely different from its predecessors. Players that were expecting a typical assassin game or sniper game in the style of the first two Sift Heads games may be disappointed.
