    With Nemesis, Capcom once again get you to sit in the homicidal barber's chair while he draws a honed blade with grating tension across your exposed throat. This time the tension and the moment when it suddenly cuts to the bone are taken to an even higher screaming point.

    Capcom would do well to bring out a PC-only Resident Evil title that caters to what the PC does best -- first person blastin'!

    The best Resident Evil title to date for the PC. The simple reason for that is the improved gameplay, particularly the enhanced puzzle elements and the addition of Nemesis and the game-altering choice screens he brings with him.

    Such a pleasure for longtime fans. The series keeps getting better, rather than rotting like the game's antagonists and citizens of Raccoon City...What makes Nemesis better than the previous installments is the improved interface.

    What a classic game! I haven't seen a game of that class in my whole life and will never see because the story ends, and the racoon city is fully destroyed. I am very sad on the end of RE's series and hoping that Capcom will release a game of such class in the future like "Street Fighter" and RE3.… Expand

    Respect to this one, I'm a gamer since 2010 and I play this game in 2012 and I really like it. The story is good, gameplay is very simple, sometimes the controller confuses me but that doesn't bother me.… Expand

    I have the playstation version but it's not here on metacritic for some reason, so I'm just posting my review here. I wasn't a big fan of this one, but it's not a bad game either. It has some cool moments and boss fights, and the atmosphere feels pretty claustrophobic which works for a horror game. However the problems with the first game start resurfacing with the bad inventory design and combat that's unrealistically clunky. The difficulty select is a joke, only easy or hard. Playing on easy is basically a cheat where you start out with a crap load of weapons, ammo and healths in your box whereas hard mode starts you off with absolutely nothing. The game itself really didn't hold my attention for more than a few hours, I'm not sure what it was. It took me like 2 or 3 weeks to beat it because I kept going for long periods of time without playing it because I just didn't care what was going on anymore. Resident Evil has never been strong in terms of plot but at least I didn't have to force myself to finish RE1 and 2.… Expand
