Como jogo individual ele até funciona como um jogo mediano, porque é tecnicamente bem feito, mas não apresenta grandes coisas, ou coisas a cima da media em questão de narrativa ou mesmo de gameplay. Explico: Apesar de não apresentar bugs e estar bonito visualmente, a narrativa e o desenvolvimento de personagens não passa do ordinário, tem apenas 2 puzzles que são ridículos de fáceis e não requerem nenhum esforço do jogador e em termos de mecânica ele segue a linha do remake do 2, porem com um foco voltado um pouco mais para a ação do que para aquele "vai e volta pelo mapa carregando itens e evitando ser morto", o que se reflete no acréscimo da mecânica de esquiva, que da mais possibilidades nos combates para o jogador. Mas a realidade triste desse jogo é que ele é claramente uma versão cortada se comparada a obra original. Repare que eu disse "cortado" e não reimaginado ou reorganizada, partes inteiras da obra original foram simplesmente retiradas do jogo por pressa, o que é inadmissível. Isso é evidente não só pela curtíssima duração do jogo mas também porque não colocaram coisas novas no lugar das antigas e não existe um trabalho bom desenvolvimento de fatores do jogo (como história, personagens, construção de terror, etc). O diferencial máximo do terceiro título da serie era essa relação de perseguido e perseguidor que a protagonista deveria ter com aquele que seria seu NEMESIS no título, mas nem a construção dessa atmosfera foi consolidada direito. Como fã da serie e consumidor não espero simplesmente um jogo feito as pressas pra ganhar o dinheiro dos fãs que depois do remake do 2 se empolgaram com a possibilidade do remake do 3, esperava que a empresa se concentrasse em desenvolver o potencial do titulo ao seu máximo, o que claramente foi trocado por um puro imediatismo de lucro que pra mim nem faz tanto sentido assim.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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

    Ich wusste ja schon vom PS1 Teil, das dieses Spiel eher auf Action setzt und weniger auf Horror, aber das man bei einem Resident Evil Teil so wenig Horror hat ist wirklich erschreckend, es gibt im ganzen Spiel nicht eine Szene, bei der man ins schwitzen kommt, die Charaktere bleiben über das ganze Spiel blass und die Spielzeit von 4 Stunden ist einfach frech.
    Ich freue mich sehr auf das Remake des 4. Teil und auch auf Village, aber von diesem Spiel bin ich einfach endlos enttäuscht, schade.

    First things first, the game is very linear and always holds the player's hand, especially in the first few hours, you literally just walk forward to watch cutscenes and interact with some things now and then.

    It's almost identical to Resident Evil 2 Remake in so many ways, and not in a good way, some areas are literally copy pasted, and there's no innovation. Also it's not very scary, the hospital section is a bit creepy and has a nice dark atmosphere, but some of the puzzles are quite tedious.

    What I liked the most is the core gameplay, it's overall an enjoyable game, the shooting feels satisfying, and the evade mechanic helps a lot, Jill's movement is perfect and works well with the gameplay mechanics.

    The characters are okay, I really liked Jill, she's very cute and badass, and her animations look smooth and adorable, she's pretty much the star of the show. Carlos is a cool companion and he has the stronger weapons, playing as him made the game more fun.

    Backtracking felt nice, the areas are a bit short but there's a good amount of exploration, you can find collectibles, resources, notes that give the story more depth and just random small little secrets.

    It's worth mentioning that the story is sadly very uninteresting, incredibly short, predictable with a terrible antagonist, and a lot of cut content. Lastly, Nemesis is unfortunately just some scripted sequences, and the boss fights are very disappointing. I really like his new design and voice though, he looks menacing and scary.

    In the end, I really wanted to like this game, and I kind of did... I mean, my thoughts about it are mostly positive, but it could've been so much more. Regardless, I had a good time playing though it even though it has some serious flaws.

However the biggest issue is the with the length of the story. It will last you 5-6 hours AT MOST here. Even searching out every item and backtracking all the time to collect the stuff you need to move forward doesn't do much to help the length of the game. Especially since a ton of content from the original game has been cut to help the games flow I guess is the reason they're giving. Its extremely disheartening since they're selling this as a full price game when there's barely enough content for a 30 dollar game, no matter how good the actual gameplay is here. Basically, if you're not into the multiplayer they slapped on here to give it more content then there's very little reason to buy this game now, especially with so many other titles coming out at this point. It's really too bad since the actual game itself is pretty good. But there's no way I would recommend even the most hardcore RE fans to buy this until it drops to about the 20 dollar range.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do appreciate this game, but not without some faults. Yes the beginning of the game was great the first time, but it only annoys me after repeated playthroughs, the amount of cutscenes I'm forced to skip to get to the "meat" of the gameplay doesn't feel fun.

    I am indifferent on the "feel" of the city, at times it feels alive... er undead, dead, and just really gamey.
    There are parts where they just shoved zombies outside of a fence that you cant get over there to fight them, so you just run past without a care in the world, and it's very blatantly obvious that they failed on the tension front because of that. Overall, zombie placement outside is just poorly done.

    Resistance is worthless to me, I have almost never liked any Resident Evil online mode, EXCEPT for Operation Raccoon City, and that's sad.    … Expand

    And all that could have been.

    Resident Evil 3 remake feels like a rushed cash grab off of the curtails of RE2make's success. As you play you just cannot shake the feeling that it could have been so much more than what it is. After the first hour or so you will find that it feels more like a trimmed down RE2make. All the aspects of RE2make which made it shine have been dulled down.    And all that could have been.

After the first hour or so you will find that it feels more like a trimmed down RE2make. All the aspects of RE2make which made it shine have been dulled down. With Nemesis you never feel that you are being tracked down and hunted like you did with Mr. X. He appears in staged "events" and is gone almost as fast as he appeared. Many of the same locations from RE2make are seen again and they feel more like fan service than plot progression, answering questions no one asked.

    Graphically speaking it does not look bad. But, it also does not look that much improved over RE2make. Many of the assets are identical to those found in RE2make. You will be fighting the exact same 6 zombies you fought in RE2make over, and over, and over. The later iterations of Nemesis do look awesome. And I really do like the look of the hunters. But just about every other enemy feels like a rerun.

    The story and presentation feel like Michael Bay and J. J. Abrams wrote/directed it. It is all bang and flash eye candy with little substance and a heavy dose of the "just so happens." No matter what situation you find yourself in the solution "just so happens" to be not far away. The plot is thin and predictable and never captivates the player. There are no twists that you won't see coming a mile away. Ultimately, and quite possibly the biggest sin, it gets boring and derivative.

    As far as game play goes there has only been a couple tweaks to the RE2make formula. The addition of the dodge is nice as well as the knife no longer having durability. But, it feels like the damage the knife does do has been reduced when compared to the durability knives from RE2make. If you are a fan of the puzzle aspects found in the original Resident Evil trilogy you will be sorely disappointed. If there are puzzles they are so mundane and trivial that you will not even recognize them as a puzzle.

    The package as a whole feels more like a larger DLC content patch than it does a stand alone game. So, Is RE3make bad? No, not at all. It is playable and even enjoyable. But I can't help feeling disappointed when I think of what re3make could have been.    … Expand

    This was tough to judge, but ultimately I feel that Resident Evil 3 is simply the sum of its parts and that some of those parts fall short as it is. This is a great game to buy on sale and play over a weekend (or possibly one day) and probably never feel the urge to return to it.

    I don't usually like to bring up pricepoints in reviews, but for some reason it's unavoidable in this game. Maybe it's the stunning visuals, sometimes marred by obvious and awful flaws. Maybe it's the fantastic area designs which impress at first but are systematically abandoned by the game before they can truly charm. Or maybe it's the misuse of Nemesis, who from the beginning is so nerfed that I literally never once worried about him.

    This could have been something special, if not on par with last year's phenomenal Resident Evil 2. Even as a brief, spin-off adventure, it could have succeeded if it committed more to its ideas. But as it is it seems they may have decided to play it safe at the last minute. The game decidedly feels not just the usual "unfinished" or "unpolished" but downright amateurish and unprofessional. It would not surprise me to learn that this game was made by a junior team. I don't hate it, but I'm never ordering this dish again.    … Expand

My chief complaint is the content in the game or lack thereof. 60 dollars for a 5 hour game with zero replay ability is unacceptable. Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 remake set the series back in the right direction. They slowed down the gameplay and brought back the puzzle solving and inventory management without tank controls and smoother more satisfying action. Resident Evil 3 has pretty much no puzzles. The downtown section of the game is the closest the game comes to replicating Resident Evil 2. After that the entire game is pretty much on rails. Nemesis only appears for scripted linear chase sections or boss battles. I think we had an expectation that Nemesis would loom around as we tried to solve puzzles like Mr X. Instead he shows up at predictable times and doesn't bring much tension. I am fine with the character redesigns Jill is fine as **** Carlos looks kind of silly with his curly ass hair but its fine. The dialogue is cheesy but I like it. They try to inject more action and enemies into the game which doesn't work too well with the gun play. It worked better in Resident Evil 2 with less enemies but with more enemies to fight it is just a chore. They cut out significant chunks of the game too which is baffling to me. This game gives me PTSD flashbacks of Resident Evil 6 which cut out everything but linear action gayness. Pick this up for like 20 dollars or just play RE2 again.… Expand

    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.
