    I really don't like the nemesis, for me it really break the spooky ambiance.

    The scary factor of RE2 remake is completely lost and I don't remember the original RE3 to be that weak in term of suspense.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a fan of the resident evil franchise since game one I say this with a heavy heart, the Resident Evil 3 "Re-imagination" falls short. Lets begin by saying if you expect the game kind of changes RE2R made you RE2 you're going to have a bad time. This time they didn't just remove a few enemies and shorten levels. They removed over half the game content such as the clock tower, water treatment plant, and the park. What they did keep was critically reduced to either a few city blocks like down nostalgia corner, or a dynamic cinematic like uptown or the final boss nemesis. They also replaced Jills nostalgic return to RPD with a slapped together speed run of a few rooms with Carlos. Reduced the umbrella factory to a fee few seconds of nest re skined. Gave you a wolf boss fight re skinned with nemesis hound not just once but twice as the only only other boss fight of the game. And for some reason added a power station section that focuses on impregnating Jill via graphic oral technical rape... Legitimate not a joke. A side from this you get to pay full price for a half rendered side demo made from scrap environments left over from RE2R jammed together to allow your avatar to fumble through. With out any side missions or B play through to add replay value this extended cutscene will disappoint you for $1 every minute of actual game play if you buy it on sale.… Expand

    If the game was similar to RE2 Remake, it would have been the best Resident Evil Game Released. Unfortunately this was not the case.

    Again, this is a great experience for you, the only downside is the omission of some stages of the game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game lost all of the exploration factor that added dynamism to the gameplay of the game, much of the game are cutscenes that are no longer exciting after a first or second gameplay, classic enemies have been removed, striking and interesting stretches have been removed from the game as well as Clock Tower and the cemetery. Raccoon Uptown and Downtown have been drastically reduced to a linear route of gameplay that have taken a good time exploring the city. The gameplay and graphics of the game are great but not enough to make up for the plot changes.
    The feeling when I finished playing was that I still wanted a remake.    … Expand

    This game is nothing other then a money making scam by capcom. Its obvious they didnt care about the game at all, other then to make money off of Nostalgic fans, like myself. Wether it's the fact that its missing half the original story, or the lack of care they put in design. Remakes are supposed to expand and give more context to the original game. This does absolutely none of that. ThisThis game is nothing other then a money making scam by capcom.

    Great in its own right. Keep these RE remakes coming!

    Definitely not as great as RE2 but it’s still a must play. Out with the survival and in with the action. You’ll never struggle to find ammo ever again. PROS - Jill is probably the most gorgeous fictional character I’ve ever seen. - plenty of action. You’re never struggling to survive and looking for ammo.

    The story is decent and the gameplay is good. However it sucks that they cut a few things out for whatever reason and that ultimately made the game shorter. It also gets a little repetitive at the end. Overall, it's sort of a lackluster experience and the game isn't worth full price because it feels more like an expansion for RE2, I recommend that you buy the game when it's on sale.

    I give it 8 just to raise the average a bit, it's still a very narrow 8. Unfortunately his longevity, he casts a title that could very well have been a 10. The real score for me was 7.7.

    This game is complete crap. You play at medium difficulty setting, as if playing at high difficulty level. The developers of the game are clearly deprived of logic, otherwise the storyline would have been more thoughtful. I do not recommend buying the game.

    Nothing seems right about this game except human character models. I can't believe that someone has so much to do with the city and the game itself, expand the universe and improve 99' version, wich is still better than this rushed remake. Making it full price, cutting its content makes me wonder what kind of disappointment Capcom has to bring after this sad game.

    It looks great but this is a major disappointment after the phenomenal job Capcom did with RE2 Remake. It's shorter and has less replay value than RE2. Nemesis is actually a downgrade compared to Mr X. It actually has less content than the original RE3 which suffered from rushed development back in the day.

    Peter Fabiano really needs to leave the Resident Evil franchise...
    This is the worst remake ever! It doesn't look like Resident Evil 3 anymore... just some 5 hour bullsh*t! And the cut content... Don't make me talk about that please. This game sucks.

    El juego original tenia algunos huecos que en el remake podrían haber resuelto, faltaron escenarios y enemigos por mostrar, ni se diga de los mercenarios.... Es una lastima, el juego tenía mucho potencial y podía haber superado a su antecesor... lastima que sus creadores fallaran en eso.

    Resident Evil 3 mejora en muchos aspectos al original. Mejor ritmo, más profundidad narrativa y de los personajes y con mejoras y añadidos que, desgraciadamente, no consiguen opacar ciertas decisiones artísticas un tanto cuestionables. Sobretodo en cuanto a la no inclusión de ciertas localizaciones y enemigos.

    No obstante, RE3 es un título imprescindible que ofrece un balance brutal entre survival horror con toques frenéticos de acción que, además, ofrece multijugador, para poder así expandir su diversión. Sin duda, uno de los juegos del año.    … Expand

They cut major sections of the game (clock tower), Nemesis doesn't feel like something I have to watch out for, the puzzles are non-existent and the level design is lackluster especially when compared to the original's level design (one level is literally just two parallel streets that are connected by a donut shop, and that is supposed to fill in for an entire sprawling district). The game is also extremely linear and plays more like a movie with the cutscene to gameplay ratio. They also cut out Mercenaries Mode. Overall the gameplay is good but doesn't make up for what it lacks. Definitely a game to buy when its 20 dollars, but not 80.… Expand

    I was disappointed when I played it. The story does not contain depth as in the original part. Puzzles do not exist. The horror factor remains weak.
    I was expecting it to be longer in terms of time
    But I was shocked by her shortness
    Damn you, Capcom

    It's stunning and a great revisitation of the old classic (which I played when I was young on PS1).
    However, with the full price tag it's also disappointing for today's gaming standards.
    It would have been better as a DLC for the RE2 remake, as it feels like one.

    Even though it is a very successful game, you will feel a little disappointed. Compared to the remake of the second game, this one often loses its pace and it is impossible to get rid of the impression that there could and should have been more to this game. [Issue#303]

    All we can say is that six hours of Resident Evil 3 is just enough - and we're aware that's both compliment and curse. [Issue#346, p.88]

    After a stellar remake of an arguably the best Resident Evil game ever made, Capcom has let down our expectations by giving us a more scripted, more linear survival horror action game that will probably be forgotten like so many sequels that have gone the path of less resistance when it comes to game design. RE3 make feels more like a DLC than a full-blown game.
