    Opening up the game world to encompass more of Racoon City was certainly a logical next step for the series to take. While the 'Nemesis' that stalks the player throughout the game was certainly something to be feared however this third installment just couldn't replicate that sense of being trapped that had been so important in Resident Evil 1 (Mansion) and Resident Evil 2 (PoliceOpening up the game world to encompass more of Racoon City was certainly a logical next step for the series to take.

    I love Resident Evil. I felt this was the weakest in the series, but still a good game.

    Along with the sharp graphics, RE3 features outstanding sound and music.

    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.
