The price however, is that all the targets you killed become active again. Unlike the previous games where you were forced to reset when you ran out of ammo but still had targets, here you can now reload your gun and get all your bullets back. A lot more planning before shooting will have to be done here to get all the targets. You’re going to have to keep this in mind to maximize the damage it can make.

Also your bullets do not ricochet as far, as wide, or as much as the last two games. The old standard 10 bullets from the first Ricochet Kills is almost nonexistent in this game.

Bullets are often not as plentiful in the last two installments. Even if they’ re not in areas that can only be opened by the switches, targets are often placed in really hard to reach areas. There are other elements which will have you literally picking your shots. This leaves you with the feeling that the “puzzle” element in this puzzle shooter has increased greatly. Add to this the fact that your amount of bullets vary per level and you’ ll really have to aim and choose your shots very wisely. The switches are usually hard to shoot because of their placement. Shooting these switches to open up areas to shoot your targets, can really prove to be a challenge. And here is where the game begins to subtly differ from the previous one. There is now a switch which when shot by your bullet opens up formerly sealed areas. There are a few notable additions to the old objects. The exploding barrels, the rolling balls, boxes and the falling platforms are all retained from the last game. The targets retain their rag doll physics and generous bleeding after being hit from the last game. Fans of the series will recognize the same trench coat covered hit man and his suit and tie targets.
