There is no classic, characteristic music. The content of many notes is like a cheap action movie. A lot of boxes and save-machines, every moment. Zombie with a parasite on his head, pulled out of re 4, which does not make sense, because it was a separate virus (plague), in practice they are only annoying and have a large range. They pressed it for more action. Ridiculous actions, for example, Jill gets a rocket in his legs, flies away, gets up and runs away. Embarrassing Carlos speech and little feminine Jill. Motion blur cannot be turned off. A lot of ugly textures, strong aliasing, weak reflections. Nice character models. Re 7 had better graphics.

    You can't save yourself with a knife or grenade from the attack, which was important for survival in re 2. Zombie bodies do not have such good damage effects, their limbs disappear, sometimes even whole bodies (as in re6). Killed zombie bodies are like a rock, they become part of stationary textures. Evident downgrade. Zombies are often assigned to a place, they can't break the door often, they don't follow you, they just turn back, you get in, shoot and leave, ridiculous, they can also disappear after the cut scene. Opponents stronger than zombies can't open the door, Carlos opens the door, runs away and comes back again to shoot once etc. Few classic fights with nemesis, his second form is a running furious dog-like mutant.

    Escapes from the nemesis are short and includes only a few locations. Lots of ammo and lots of empty locations without zombies. The sewers lcoation is a joke, opponents in them are easier than zombies. Boring filler between meetings with nemezis. The last fight with a nemesis at a nightmare level is the ordinary QTE without signaling and poorly done. Nemesis is only faster and can kill you even quickly after you dodge. Terribly wasted potential and fearless survival action horror...
    The last fight at higher difficulty levels is just a QTE spam without signaling. You didn't like QTE in re 5 and 6? Well now you have the most ludicrous QTE spam sequences without signals and at the very end of the game, what a surprise, one only big difficulty spike.

    A small town, only to run, especially before the nemesis. Evidently, some locations and explorations are missing between the fights with the nemesis, the game is stacked like canned food. The game pretends to be an action-resident evil, but it is even far from being like RE 6. Idiotic story changes and cut locations in relation to original Re 3 nemesis.There is nothing to excite, only capcom simps are full happy and offended by justifiable criticism.

    They make reimaginations because it is convenient and simpler for them (they can change the elements of the original freely and have an excuse) plus the old title will always earn money on nostalgia for them, simple and pragmatic, for corporations, but not so good for consumers.    … Expand

    Capcom disrespects the original fans with this game. Cut contents, Nemesis is completely ruined, his new design sucks, he's not a menace at all he's just a clown. Game is really short.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start, I'm a long-time Resident Evil fan. Started playing when the first came out back in 1996. I've played all the mainline series, the remakes, and many of the off-shoot titles. I'm not new to the RE scene.

    The original Resident Evil 3 was probably one of the best in the series. The Nemesis, branching paths, and the ability to dodge were all a pretty big jump from the previous game.

    But I just could NOT get into this game. The graphics are good, even though today we still get blurred writing on most environmental objects. The Nemesis shows up way too early; the pacing from the original where the Nemesis shows a bit into the game made for a much better flow.

    There were too many changes to the characters. I still like Jill Valentine's previous face model a bit more. Brad's character is completely different; you see him in 2 scenes (alive) in the original, but this one you only get one, and he's a more noble and selfless than in the original. It just doesn't jive with his character.

    Dodging doesn't seem to work all that great, but maybe I didn't play it enough.

    I do know that several areas were cut, as well as few puzzles.

    It just feels shallow and hallow. It feels like this could've been something way better, but the developers settled for "good enough".

    If you never played the original, you might like this. It's not a terrible game. But as someone that played the original, I have to compare it. And if you put both games in front of me, I would choose the original.    … Expand

They have cut down the puzzles (there are hardly any), the world is built in pretty linear pathways and there are many cut-scenes, so the plot is forced in a certain direction. While in RE2 you had a genuine feeling of being free to explore a giant mansion, which appeared truly scary and also more realistic, in RE3 your are mostly forced into certain paths. But not only that, even the enemies aren't that well made in the RE3 remake, they are not as detailed in their behaviour and thus they seem less frightening. While Mr. X appeared truly frightening to me, the Nemesis is not even scary anymore because he appears all the time and you can easily dodge him with the new dodge-move.

    In sum, they wasted the potential of a great game.

    If you love RE, you should nevertheless give this game a try, but if you already played RE2, you will be disappointed in the lack of quality they have put into this game.    … Expand

    'Resident Evil 3' is boring, scripted, nearly brain dead, and of course unfinished. First things first, the new Jill is too average looking and looks like a child. The nasty butch hairstyle makes her look worse. This new Jill is as some have already mentioned it is a re-skin of the new Lara Croft. Her endless profanity towards Nemesis really breaks immersion. How am I supposed to be scared'Resident Evil 3' is boring, scripted, nearly brain dead, and of course unfinished. First things first, the new Jill is too average looking and looks like a child. The nasty butch hairstyle makes her look worse. This new Jill is as some have already mentioned it is a re-skin of the new Lara Croft. Her endless profanity towards Nemesis really breaks immersion. How am I supposed to be scared of the hulking beast if Jill clearly isn't? She and Carlos are always referring to him as "that fu**er" and other combinations. What "realism" we get by having our heroes speaking like uneducated thugs! If they ever remake this remake again, it would not be surprising if Nemesis himself calls Jill a "bit**".

    Nemesis chases you a few times and most of the encounters are scripted. He is the only boss in the game and you get to fight him three times with two of those fights being very similar. For a character that is supposed to be an unstoppable stalker/predator; It's fairly easy to keep your distance from him. Because in this game, he is just pretending to chase you, it's all scripted easy bullcrap. The more "real" games become the more idiotic and soul-less they are getting. People think immersion is having a scripted movie/game with characters who are flawed and speak like criminals. Experience this modern Jill and then go back and compare her to the class act she is in REHD and RE5. She was beautiful, strong, and didn't need to act tough. She also never once cursed or used profane language, yet the gamers have their rated M rating.

    Now that I got the characters out of the way. It's time to talk about the gameplay and here is where the game suffers more. The game is mostly point and shoot, hardly any tactics are required. The Hunters are the only enemy in the game that pose a threat, especially if you manage to aggro more than one of them. There is a part of the game that is really puzzling as to why it's even part of it. The section of the game where you have to power 4 switches in a maze and you are being attacked by what seems like endless spiders. They introduce a strange mechanic in the game at that point that you would think will carry on, but no, it is never seen again after that. On a totally hentai tentacle scene, Jill gets abused by a parasite creature and suddenly you have contracted parasites. They slowly drain your health away and make your HUD a pain to look at. There are of course no blue herbs, so how do you get rid of the parasites? Green herb of course.... And that's that, after you complete that tedious mini maze and it really is tedious, that mechanic is gone from the game. There are way too many save stations, auto-saves and ammo too. Some people complained that in RE7 there was not enough ammo. I felt like RE7 had too much of it, but here I just don't think anyone should have an ammo problem.

    I got this game on a sale for $17 and I feel like I was $3 away from being ripped off. The game has almost zero replay value. There is no mercenaries mode, no new game+ or unlockable modes. I don't really see why anyone would bother with a second play through. I played this after Resident Evil Village waiting for it to go on a sale. I can say I am finally done with this franchise. I don't think I will participate in the RE4 remake. Resident Evil 3 still manages to be a better game than the abomination that is Resident Evil Village.    … Expand

Instead Jill trashes him like some ordinary zombie.

    Why does Nemesis need weapons to kill Jill? He can just grab her and crush her head.... but no, that won't happen, lets change it into boring action fights instead. Nemesis can smash a concrete wall with ease, but a door stops him, what the hell?

    Jill acts like a feminist, not needing help of any man. Her original outfit is replaced by a boring casual outfit, her original outfit atleast looked interesting and unique.

    Carlos hair looks stupid.... why change it....

    A missed opportunity to make the game as good as the RE2 remake, alot of dissapointed fans, shame Capcom, Shame....

    While last year’s Resident Evil 2 took the story and settings of the original game and expanded them into a finely tuned masterpiece, Resident Evil 3 feels like it took a much different approach. The story, and the path it takes from beginning to end, has seen some substantial changes compared to the original to the point where it’s sometimes difficult to see any semblance of its source material under this new coat of polygons and paint. That having been said, I did enjoy my time with Resident Evil 3 and I think that fans of the series, or fans of its predecessor, will enjoy it. However, one group I feel like it might struggle to impress are the fans of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis which is quite unfortunate after how well last year’s Resident Evil 2 was received.

    Not only it doesn’t surpass RE2, it fails to even hit the same mark. In RE2, every act had you explore a rather large environment, search for clues and solve puzzles. In RE3, you just run down a corridor, blasting zombies and dodging scripted Nemesis attacks. [Issue#245, p.46]

    Unlike the remake of Resident Evil 2, this is a simple, straightforward blockbuster, short, colorful, and mindless. As for Resident Evil: Resistance, you will probably quit it after spending half an hour in this boring L4D clone.
