    Plain and simple, if you played/own this game on any other system that it’s been on then don’t bother handing over your cash for this one, there is nothing new or different in it.

    A solid port of the original PSX game, but that's part of the problem: It is a port with no enhancements and a hefty price tag to boot.

    The graphics have been polished up significantly from the original, but it still looks very ropey alongside Remake and Zero.

    Slightly gimmicky but still very entertaining. [Mar 2003, p.136]

    Bundling both RE 2 and Nemesis would've been a very appealing package for new- and series-followers alike. Instead, you end up paying nearly full price for an old game.

    RE3's high price and disappointing lack of extras mean I can't recommend it as anything more than a rental for those new to the series. [Mar 2003, p.128]

    The gameplay design is still as brilliant as it ever was on the PSX, but the overall package is not even close to earning its sticker price.

    Had Nemesis been packaged along with "Resident Evil 2," it would have been easy to recommend for both fans and collectors.

The majority of the game takes place in the midst of Raccoon City. Jill Valentine blasts zombies and runs through alleys whilst being chased by Nemesis. The story is lacking here, but is pretty straight forward. The game feels more actions packed, but it's essentially the same as RE1 and RE2. The game has more fun gimmicks. RE3 is challenging and the best looking Resident Evil on PSone. The gamecube version provides smoother backgrounds and models.… Full Review »

Le jeu est littéralement porté par Nemesis, qui est le véritable stress du jeu (où va-t-il surgir ? quand ? comment ?). Bref, si je pouvais mettre un demi point, je lui mettrai 8,5 rien que pour Nemesis. ^^… Full Review »
