    Since only PC version is on metacritic, I'll write about the PC version and not PS1 version. PS1 version deserved a 9/10 due it's welcome new features: quick turn around, dodge and gunpowder mixing to create ammo. Also, the minigame with mercs where you race against time to run thru the first location of the game was pretty fun. The PC port however wasn't done well. It even plays worseSince only PC version is on metacritic, I'll write about the PC version and not PS1 version.

It even plays worse than if you play the PS1 version on a PS1 emulator and bind all playstation buttons to keyboard keys (e.g. ESDF and IJKL).
    If you are interested where Resident Evil movie came from, or how the first games in the horror/action genre looked like, you may wish to try RE3, as it's definitely the best game in the series (basically, improved RE2) before it all switched to first person view and went downhill in Sole Survivor.    … Expand

    I have the playstation version but it's not here on metacritic for some reason, so I'm just posting my review here. I wasn't a big fan of this one, but it's not a bad game either. It has some cool moments and boss fights, and the atmosphere feels pretty claustrophobic which works for a horror game. However the problems with the first game start resurfacing with the bad inventory design andI have the playstation version but it's not here on metacritic for some reason, so I'm just posting my review here.

However the problems with the first game start resurfacing with the bad inventory design and combat that's unrealistically clunky. The difficulty select is a joke, only easy or hard. Playing on easy is basically a cheat where you start out with a crap load of weapons, ammo and healths in your box whereas hard mode starts you off with absolutely nothing. The game itself really didn't hold my attention for more than a few hours, I'm not sure what it was. It took me like 2 or 3 weeks to beat it because I kept going for long periods of time without playing it because I just didn't care what was going on anymore. Resident Evil has never been strong in terms of plot but at least I didn't have to force myself to finish RE1 and 2.… Expand

    Resident Evil 3 en mi opinión, es uno de los mejores de la saga, y el mejor de la trilogía clásica. Si bien al darte mucho armamento, ya no se siente la misma sensación de horror que antes, los gráficos son mejores, la música me gusto mas, la inclusión de Nemesis un gran añadido, la capacidad de poder tu munición y los nuevos movimientos que si bien son un poco extraños el como ejecutarlosResident Evil 3 en mi opinión, es uno de los mejores de la saga, y el mejor de la trilogía clásica.

Un juego de mi infancia, al que le tengo mucho cariño y que recomiendo a todo fan de los Resident Evil clásicos.
    Pd: La versión de PC según tengo entendido, originalmente presentaba muchos problemas gráficos, rendimiento pésimo y controles malos. Sin embargo, con un parche ya se puede jugar sin problemas.    … Expand

    Capcom obviously strove to create a game that would preserve the spirit and outlooks of its prequels (read - it's another damn PSX1 port). It seems that they pushed this tendency one step too far, and forgot to actually deliver anything new to the gaming scene.

    Such a pleasure for longtime fans. The series keeps getting better, rather than rotting like the game's antagonists and citizens of Raccoon City...What makes Nemesis better than the previous installments is the improved interface.

    Resident Evil 3 isn't the best place to start for a newcomer to the series. It's a zombie-killing rampage that lacks the inventive game structure that made "Resident Evil 2" so good.
