The ability to quick turn, toggle while targeting, and mix gunpowder were welcome additions. Back to back playthroughs are rarely ever the same as solutions to puzzles and pop-up scare locations change, and player decisions influence the way the plot unfolds. RE3 closes out the Raccoon City chapter of the series with S.T.A.R.S officer Jill Valentine's final attempt to escape the giant graveyard, evading zombies, mutants, Umbrella mercs, and a powerful new Bioweapon; Nemesis. Like Mr. X before him, this nemesis will stop at nothing to locate and terminate you, and is far more equipped to do so. As if having the hunting prowess of Predator, the speed of a Jamaican sprinter, the bulk of an NFL linebacker, and the face of Sam Cassell weren't scary enough, they had the audacity to give this guy a rocket launcher!!… Expand

   Resident Evil 3 is the true underdog of the Resident Evil series. It was a game that originally started off as a spin-off title that on aResident Evil 3 is the true underdog of the Resident Evil series. It was a game that originally started off as a spin-off title that on a whim, due to Capcom wanting to fill out their playstation catalogue before the release of the PS2, became the 3rd canonical title in the growing series that was further defining the survival horror genre with every release and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is no different. It's the shortest game in the original trilogy but what it lacks in duration it more than makes up for in story, gameplay and content. Resident Evil 3 welcomes back RE1 vixen Jill Valentine as she makes her escape through the burning ruins of the once lively Raccoon City. However Umbrella, the evil corporate conglomerate, has no intention on making it easy for you. Also stalking the streets of the now decaying Raccoon City, the Pursuer, codenamed Nemesis, is an ungodly creature of strength and aggression whose only objective is to eliminate all remaining S.T.A.R.S. members. When developing RE3, Capcom sought to create a game that would induce paranoia in the player, making them question their every action, every decision. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is welcomed reminder of just how terrifying a video game can be and even holds up after it's initial release 20 years ago. The Nemesis A.I. is more aggressive than Birkin or Mr. X before him and is able to attack the player in a plethora of ways. This new programming also gives the Nemesis speed and agility, as well as a proficiency in weapons making him a more deadly adversary. The game is almost the perfect fight or flight simulator, allowing the player the chance to make choices in extreme situations that will effect the overall ending of the game. Jill is no slouch though, she's just as prepared as ever, facing off against everything Umbrella has to throw at her. She's still the master of unlocking, carrying with her a trusty lock pick and she too is proficient in weaponry. Jill wields a variety of weapons including: Shotgun, Magnum, Grenade launcher etc giving her more of edge over Leon and Claire who in RE2 were limited to the weapons they could use. Resident Evil 3 also comes with an unlockable Mercenaries mini-game, similar to Resident Evil 2's extreme battle mode, that was added into RE2 well after it's initial release. The mini game allows you to control one of three Umbrella Mercs: Carlos, Nikolai or Mikhail. Your goal is to make it from the cable car to the warehouse within the time limit while rescuing survivors for added time bonuses. It's in this mode the player will accrue points that can be spent on rewards that affect the games main campaign.
   
   Resident Evil 3 is the red headed black step sheep of the RE series but is easily the best game in the original trilogy. It allows for more exploration of the city instead of leaving the player confined to the dull and mundane settings found in the previous entries. It's a must have for video game collectors and must play for fans of the Survival Horror genre. Even with the RE3 Remake releasing this April, there is no other survival horror experience like the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and I implore you to experience it for yourself!
   
   (P.S. I love how Metacritic lists this game as a DC game when RE3 was first released for the PlayStation video game console on September 22, 1999 in Japan and November 11, 1999 in North America AND THEN ported to the Dreamcast and PC.)… Expand

Following the amazing Resident Evil 2 this was a complete let-down. Poor level-design coupled with short amount of content and re-used assets this was a recipe for failure. With its lean towards action rather than horror/survival it is also the first sign of the brain-dead action shooter garbage to come: RE 4, 5 and 6.… Expand
