Heli Attack 3
Heli Attack 3, released on June 17, 2005, was another major evolution in the series. The player still takes on the role of a soldier but instead of having to destroy a continuous wave of Helis on one level, the player must travel through sixteen different levels set in four different locations, or zones. Furthermore, much like a more conventional video game the player must destroy a set number of Helis to progress to new levels.
In another major change, there is not just one kind of Heli, but four - in earlier levels the helis are comparatively weak with inaccurate and low powered guns. But as the player progresses through the game, they must take on helis which are more difficult to destroy, and with weaponry that can cause considerable damage to their character's health. There are also a number of purely ground based enemies in the game; in early levels these have either weak weapons or none at all, but in later levels their aim is highly accurate and, if ignored, they pose a big threat to the health of the paratrooper.
After all the standard levels are beaten, a never-ending level, reminiscent of Heli Attacks 1 & 2, is unlocked. In this level, Zone X, you must fight the most powerful helicopters until you are killed. This level can always be accessed at any time once the remaining levels are complete, for players who wish to play this game in a Heli Attack 2 manner.

“And whether it is Thursday, or the day is stormy,
With thunder and rain, or the birds attack each other,
We have rolled into another dream.”
