    As a RE3 fan I enjoyed the game. There is a lot of replay value here. My biggest gripes are the length is a bit short. The final form boss fight is either laughable on lower difficulty’s, or living hell on the hardest difficulty. It becomes a pattern repetition game that just doesn’t fit in this game. I would buy if you’re a fan of the series, and skip if you’re new to RE

    I though the Resident evil 2 remake was good, this on the other hand is mediocre. Nothing really stands out in this one, overall just a boring experience

    ofc it isn't a perfect game but it's pretty nice. Resident Evil 3 remake feels like a good old action movie with great special effects and the protagonist is fckn amazing. I truly love Jill. Her voice and lines are brilliant (and her look is wonderful but I don't really care)

    Re3 remake is a piece of trash, cash grab, disappointment mess. The ps1 was a master piece and the remake butchered it ( literally). See, I’m not looking for 1-1 copies but to cut so much content and charge the price they did is theft. Just go buy the ps1 game

    Same gameplay and graphics as Resident Evil 2 - what could go wrong?

    Even with its new gameplay additions, RE3 disappointed me; short but no extras, the original plot has been modified too much (it's not horrible like that The Umbrella Chronicles summary at least), I don't dislike the character redesign, but another lab? at least the original omitted that and made it less repetitive,    Same gameplay and graphics as Resident Evil 2 - what could go wrong?

    Yes, RE3 felt like a small expansion of RE2 (same with its original counterpart) and the plot changes don't do it any favors, in my opinion. I enjoyed this game as much as I could but without a doubt, I could say it's even below RE 7.    … Expand

They're biased and amateur. Days gone is million miles better than Resident evil 3 remake, its not even close to evil within 1 despite all the pretty graphics.… Expand

    Nota 10 em gráficos. Nota 10 em Gameplay. Nota 10 em História. Mas nota 1 em horas de Gameplay. Um jogo vendido a preço cheio e praticamente tendo 3 vezes menos horas que seu antecessor.

    A remake full of disappointment. Capcom should have done a better job here. I like how the characters have been improved over the original but many of the original game content was cut from the remake, which I have no idea why. A remake should capture the charm of the original game and even add to it. This remake does the opposite.

    Most anticipated game for me for this year. Because i was a re3 fan when i had ps1. Yes it is little bit short but still ok. Especially first hour is wonderful. Graphics and cinematics, action scenes. However i can feel like that developers hurried up to finish this project.

There is also a base defense sequence and some gimmicky boss fights that don't really have any place in an RE game. I don't believe it's fair to make the player have to figure out boss gimmicks or puzzle out solutions in the middle of a tough combat encounter. The final boss is particularly egregious in its poor design and frustration-inducing.… Expand

    I was never interested in playing Resident Evil 3, but after playing Resident Evil 2, I wanted to play even more Resident Evil games.
    I could've played Resident Evil 7: biohazard, however, I'm not a big fan of horror games, so I decided to play Resident Evil 3 because it doesn't emphasize on horror as much as Resident Evil 7 does.

    Just like in every other Resident Evil game I've played, the story in Resident Evil 3 isn't good but it's not an important part of these games anyway.
    The characters though, they're... alright, I guess? The side-characters are completely irrelevant but the main characters are actually pretty likable.
    The gameplay is very similar to Resident Evil 2's gameplay but faster and more smooth, it's extremely fun once again, however, the headshots don't feel as satisfying for some reason, and the puzzles have been toned down so much, they're almost absent.
    Also, the atmosphere is really good for the most part and it's not surprising that the graphics are incredible, and the audio design is amazing too.
    Now, I haven't played the original game before, so I don't mind the cut content, however, I suppose because of that, the game is very short; it only took me 4 to 5 hours to finish my playthrough, and that's a bit underwhelming.
    Last but not least, Nemesis, a tyrant who is supposed to be a major threat in the game, is not utilized well; he only appears in linear scripted events or boss fights, which are disappointing.

    Pros:
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Serviceable characters
    + Great atmosphere
    + Fantastic visuals & audio

    Cons:
    - Puzzles are lacking
    - Short run-time
    - Nemesis & boss fights

    Resident Evil 3 might be a weak Remake but it's actually a good game on it's own, despite mostly feeling like it's an overglorified DLC for Resident Evil 2.

    Do I recommend it?:
    To be honest, I'd recommend playing Resident Evil 2 instead, but if you already played Resident Evil 2 before, I'd recommend Resident Evil 3 at low price.

    Man this game had a bunch of potential but it just seemed like the game was rushed and a bunch of stuff from the original is missing , but with what they had it wasn't that bad of a game , I actually think its quite decent actually. I also just wish Nemesis played a lot like mr.x rather than being triggered by cutscenes and pre determined chase scenes and linear scenes

Nemesis was nothing compared to Mr. X as far as horror, and he made me laugh aloud a couple of times by just how goofy it all was. There were moments of progression pause that were beyond frustrating. One takes plays in the hospital, where you have to defend a room from waves of zombies, and the other is the end. And how the hell can she lift that damn thing? (not mentioning what, to keep spoilers out)

    Overall, the game might be better for someone who isn't die-hard for RE. Especially after playing RE2 Remake, this one was obvious it had the multiple development issues it was accused of.    … Expand

    Kinda what I expected, is not as bad as some people say it is, however it was definitely not worth the full price since is VERY SHORT and has no replayabilty, it could ve been more open and better, yes, it could ve been more fun gameplay wise. This is in between re2 and re4 and has little stuff from each one of them, its not as restrained as re2 but its neither as fun as re4.

    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]

    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.
