The Heist Instructions

If you have played driving games before, the control scheme of The Heist is NOT as easy as others. BUT even if that's the case, they are still easy to pick up and should only take you a bit of practice to get a hang of it. First off, to interact with the guys at the starting screen, all you have to do is use your mouse. To start it off, click on the gray headed fella. He will tell you specifics of the mission at hand. The guy on the rightmost part, on the other hand, knows everything about the upgrades you might need along the way. And last BUT not the least, the woman in between will show you who are the guys you can enlist. When it comes to the driving part, it's as easy as pie. Just like other car or driving games, you just need to use the arrow or cursor keys of your keyboard. BUT let me remind you one thing: there are no brakes for your car or van. In case you find yourself in a sticky situation where you are about to crash into something, pressing the Shift Button to activate slow motion would be VERY helpful! Well, enough of the controls, let's have a closer look at the game.

The Heist

The Heist Walkthrough

A car and driving game for the criminal mind in training - this is The Heist! I know I know. This doesn't necessarily sound good especially for gamers who wouldn't play anything that doesn't have an ESRB Rating of E (Everyone). HOWEVER, if you don't care about the themes that driving games have, if you are after the excitement that the game has to offer, then great... you have just hit the jackpot! Just make sure to remind your kids that they shouldn't try what they see in the game for real. Before moving forward, let's just clear up some confusion - The Heist isn't to be mistaken with the game Heist, which is from the horror genre that is just as well received.

So what on earth are you trying to do in The Heist? Let's NOT sugar coat things - the game's idea is to run a small criminal organization that has A LOT of potential to hit it BIG time. Needless to say, you will be involved in robberies left, right, and center. BUT worry not. You don't have to get your hands dirty with the robbing and action scenes. Everything happens in the background. This is something you would either hate or love. You may love it because you can focus more on driving and making sure the chasers eat dust. On the other hand, you may hate it because you are missing out on A LOT of action. One improvement my fickle mind can come up with is to add some cut scenes showing the robbery and all that stuff. BUT perhaps that's asking too much for a flash game. I'm not sure... I told you I'm fickle minded!

Anyway, going back to the game, you will find your 3 accomplices at the starting screen of the game: (1) The gray haired fella - he's the veteran when it comes to organizing these attacks. (2) The lady in the middle, on the other hand, has A LOT of connections. (3) Lastly, the tech-savvy looking guy (to be honest, he looks more like a car mechanic) is... well, tech savvy!

The first and older looking guy will give you the details of the mission and he will tell you everything you need to know about it. Level after level, you will find your character being briefed by the 'father' of the organization. As for the lady in the middle of the screen, she knows A LOT of specialists that you can enlist to help you in your missions. Whether you are looking for experts on security systems; decoys who will take the heat for you; planning masterminds to make sure the 'stunt' goes as smoothly as possible; hackers who can break into the toughest information security systems; stealth experts, etc., this woman knows who can help you. Last BUT not the least, the guy on the rightmost part will help you with the vehicle upgrades you need. When it comes to beefing up your engines for faster driving; equipping it with heavier armor; installing weapons to get rid of those cops that are tailgating your van, etc., all you need to do is talk to him.

And there you have it! That's about everything you need to know about The Heist. Well, if you want your small-time criminal organization to hit it big time, it's time to stop reading and start moving. Get out there and start robbing some banks!
