    To supposedly be a FULL Game, it feels more like just a DLC of BIOHAZARD 2{2019}; It's too expensive considering the quantity of content than it has, DEFINITELY NOT WORTH 60 DOLLARS.
    It's developers even removed too much content, which it's odd when one considers the fact of the same being a 2020 game, not a 1999 game, even whole areas with respect to its original version from 1999 were entirely removed, like the City Hall, the Press Office, St. Michael's Clock Tower, the Raccoon Park, the Cemetery & the Incineration Disposal Plant P-12A; It doesn't even have the "Live Selection", which was basically the main reason of why its original version was so interesting & popular.
    It has lots of very unpolished animations, like when Jill breasts suddenly get bigger & move themselves in a very unrealistic way in places like elevators; Zombie corpses can float in the air, or their corpses can explode like balloons; Zombies can make some very weird biting animations; Zombie Gore was severely downgraded in comparison with BIOHAZARD 2{2019}; The zombies are always animate at a maximum of 30 FPS when they are just a bit far from the player; Some parts of it has some very low textures, which is odd for a 2020 game, like the og picture of the S.T.A.R.S. team at the S.T.A.R.S. office.
    It has lots of very cheesy scenes with & without QTE, in which several of those scenes Jill obviously should have died, as when NOSEMESIS fires its Rocket Launcher, & the missile practically explodess at Jill's feet, but it just causes her to be expelled by the explosion, instead of being killed by either the explosion or the sharp-metal coming from it, which obviously would be the only 2 logical outcomes in such a situation....
    BTW: Thanx CR4PCØM, for turning Jill Valentine into a SJW stereotype of a Mary Sue in the style & looks of Alice Abernathy{Milla Jovob¡tch}, to such a degree, that Jill in this title can even lift & use, a Railgun that will weigh at least 45 kg & all by herself, "because something of the sort is VERY REALISTIC!" Also, for making Carlos Oliveira stick his finger in the plug & basically turning him on Chris 2.0, being Carlos in this title even capable of killing BOWs, like the Hunters, by just punching them, "because we all know that something of the sort is also VERY REALISTIC!!"    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident evil 3 was my favourite game on older consoles and i was at least hoping this game would at least be on par with resident evil 2 remake but it's actually not.

    This was quite simply a huge letdown it just goes to show that graphics aren't everything and gameplay, length and replayability is everything.

    The amount of things that were cut from the original game is quite simply embarrassing and at times this game didn't even feel like resident evil 3 especially nemesis phase 2 which was pretty much a boss from a completely different game which acted like a dog....they removed the clocktower section & tenticle nemesis for this let that sink in.

    Racoon city was far too small and completely unrecognizable

    The rpd was mostly terrible most of the rpd was completely shut down and not explorable.

    Nemesis ended up being scripted instead of a free roaming threat

    Nemesis drops cases that have absolutely nothing of intrest.

    Nemesis is downed by a breath of fresh air

    Weapon sights or should i say reticles were beyond pointless.

    Final form nemesis is a roll simulator especially on inferno.

    Stun locks galore on harder difficulties when knocked down and you're unable to recover you may aswell just put your controller down also related to final form nemesis which by the way looks good but it's poorly executed in terms of weapons that are useful against this boss...all the hard work you did saving ammo was for nothing.

    No choice system like the original made the game far too predictable and boring during your next playthroughs of the game plus speedruns are just boring with how short the game is.

    Very poor puzzles

    Overall just not good enough to keep me playing and this game in particular has put me off wanting to play any future remakes all capcom had to do was build off the original resident evil 3 and improve.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed Resident Evil 3. I think i enjoyed it however, because it felt as though it was essentially DLC for the last instalment.

I think i enjoyed it however, because it felt as though it was essentially DLC for the last instalment.

    Its a great looking game. its functionally very good, offering a smooth experience and is always fun to play. However, RE2 and its engine was designed to maximise the experience you want from a slow-paced, tense horror, and does not translate as well to the more action orientated third game. The centre piece of this offering is Nemesis, despite his removal from the title, and sadly its AI is not as impressive as even Mr X from RE2. You never feel in much danger, with Nemesis' appearances failing to surprise or even offer much difficulty. The whole game is very easy and very short, and if the developers were to argue they were going for more a cinematic take in this game, they failed with regards to this too. The narrative, like with all RE games, is awful, with you never really feeling invested in anything going on. As fun as Jill and Carlos are to play as, there is zero depth to their character or relationship. Other villains were cartoonistic and shallow.

    Its not particularly bad, but its not better than the last game in any way, and this is bad. It feels like a cash grab and so after finishing the game, even though i enjoyed it, i'm left with the feeling that it could have been so much better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game itself is great in terms of jugability and technical aspects, I did enjoy the game but the lack of content is very dissapointing, Nemesis is very scripted, theres only one moment in the campaing where it chases you without a script, I expected more streets, revisiting Clock Tower, The Park, Worm Boss Battle, and many other things from the original , the games feels rushed, and thats not good for a $60 game, resistance is like a different game nobody asked for, anyway.. the game is fun and is exciting but is damn short, hopefully it could be something else with upcoming DLCs, I hope Capcom think about giving this game more content, there are so many options, Nicholais Campaing, Mikhails before the arrival of Jill, etc... or you can even expand the lore adding characters from RE Outbreak, its up to you, good game but very short… Expand

    If you are new to the game, you might have a blast playing this or not. If you are a true fan from RE3 prepare for the most disrespectful remake put together for the fans ever. Characters look amazing. I don't get it the F-word all the time. Capcom thinks they only can have badass characters if they swear a lot. Lack of puzzles, a lot of missing places to visit from the original. NemesisIf you are new to the game, you might have a blast playing this or not.

    So far capcom has done a great job especially with the Resident Evil saga, this remake makes lovers of the saga remember again how bad it was and in addition to its chilling history. It is a shame that the experience is very short and hopefully Capcom will take out a DLC to extend the duration of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. -This title is basically Gears of Wars 3 all over again, with action, shooting and bullets to the extreme.. regardless of the level of difficulty!
    -The higher levels of difficulty are not selectable from the start, which obviously means.. that one's first gameplay in it will not be ideal regarding the possibility of a TRUE CHALLENGE in the SURVIVAL HORROR genre, because one has already finished the game to access them.
    -Lots of scripted scenes.. that makes it look more like a Cheesy-Action-Movie than a SURVIVAL HORROR game.
    -Its characters look as if they are bathed in oil, but in the case of the feminist Jill.. it is oil and mud.
    -Nemesis' appearance is ridiculous, having a nose, being wrapped in trash bags, and it even transform itself into a Licker, which is quite similar to the one in the RE1 movie of the Milla.
    -Jill's feminist appearance makes her quite similar to Milla Jovovich.
    -Carlos is basically a Chirs 2.0, and he can even kill B.O.W.s by just punching them, which is ABSURD!
    -It has PLOT HOLES regarding the main continuity of the RE saga, such as Brad Vickers zombie biting Marvin Branagh, when in the "RE: Outbreak File 2", Marvin already appears injured at the end of the scenario "Desperate Times", which causes that such scripted scene in this RE3: Reimagined to doesn't make any fvcking sense whatsoever!    … Expand

    They took so many things out from the original, it was so sad... the game is not the longest, and nemesis doesnt really stand out... cant really compare to re2 remake, and wont even try to compare to the original RE 3. They failed massively and its sad... If I were you I'd wait and buy it second hand or when it gets a super discount... Right now not worth the money youre paying for it...

    - EXTREMELY SHORT seriously, the game can be beaten in 4 hours. I know the original re3 was shorter than the others, but in the remake they even cut content from the original game.
    - Linearity: the game was extremely linear, most of the game forcing you to progress down a single hallway like path.
    - the price: I payed 80 bucks for a 4 hour game with no real replay value... this game felt like they could've sold it as a 30 dollar DLC to the re2 remake
    - no puzzles: part of what makes the resident evil games great is the puzzles, and this games puzzles were little to none
    - nemesis: why was his time in the game cut so much? he was in cutscenes more than in the gameplay.
    - Jill: they made Jill into such a weird looking character and they also made her personality really lame, like a teenage or annoying young 20 yr old girl.

    Overall, the game was enjoyable, but felt like a really really lazy remake compared to re2 remake. From what I understand, they outsourced the development of this game to a smaller company with less budget... so who knows. The game was still extremely disappointing in the shadow of the RE2 remake.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Listen, I actually enjoy this game all through, but it is not a good remake(or should I say reimagining). I think the negativity on Metacritic for this game is a bit excessive in my opinion because it is not the worst Resident Evil game, just not a good reimaging game. The fact that this game is $60 is crazy since the campaign is really short yet it felt long and the game felt so linear without any exploring freedom. The main enemy, Nemesis, is barely in this game which is rather disappointing, everything felt rush yet long...I don't what to say. I liked how they made Jill cocky, love the dodge mechanics, Raccoon City is beautiful to be in, Nemesis is terrifying(when he shows up), and the rest of the characters is alright. I'm more disappointed that they remove some of the best parts of the original Resident Evil 3 like the Gravedigger, the park, even the FREAKIN CLOCK TOWER, and barely any puzzles in this game. Overall, is not a good game or a bad game, just disappointing. I was hoping this game would be quite as good as Resident Evil 2 Remake from last year, but it felt like a downgrade from it. (Also, the people who made RE2 Remake didn't make this game, it was a different team that worked on this game and it shows)… Expand

    Overall this game could be seen as a missed opportunity to flesh out what was — in 1999 — a quick but quirky followup to the more substantial RE3. But from the insane locations and intriguing characters to the stunning looks and satisfying action, this is a stellar game in its own right, and that can't be ignored.

    Parts of the game, such as the opening in Jill’s apartment, look positively cinematic — so textured and atmospheric one can almost imagine that video games will draw near the end of the uncanny valley in our lifetimes. If and when that should occur, I hope that Capcom will have found another horror template than zombies.

    After an explosive start, Resident Evil 3 on Xbox One quickly falls into a familiar rhythm. Having a Tyrant hunt you down is now the new norm for Resident Evil, but the most feared of all will always be Nemesis. He quickly disappears into the cutscenes however, without as much of an impact as you would perhaps hope. Thankfully though, there are enough environment and enemy variations crammed into this short experience that you never get a chance to settle down and acquaint yourself with any one enemy type, and as a survival horror game that is exactly how you want to feel.
