    Easily the weakest of the original three. 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.

    Along with the sharp graphics, RE3 features outstanding sound and music.
  2. While other recently ported Capcom titles such as "Dino Crisis" are judged a little more harshly against today's standards, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis remains a very worthwhile game even though not much has been added to the translation.

    Great stocking stuffers and even (a) cheap gift exchange purchase.
