    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.

    I have spend hours and hours playing this game with my friend. It is still one of my favourite games since 2001 which I will never forget. I gave it 10 points, why? Play it and find out.

    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

    El mejor título de la saga, y el mejor juego del género. RE3 posee la historia perfecta, la jugabilidad perfecta y los puzzles perfectos. El desarrollo del juego te mantiene tenso cada segundo que pasa, esperando al fatídico momento donde tengamos que enfrentarnos nuevamente a Nemesis, quien paso a ser el rival definitivo de Pyramid Head después de este juego.

    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.

    Despite the fact that my favorite character in the series is the star of this game, I thought it was rather spotty at times. The thing that makes this game so great is Nemesis. He truly redefines the word "resilience". I remember the first time I played this; I was ridiculously terrified whenever he would bust through the door and the intense music would play. This is one of the scarier Resident Evil games because of him.… Expand

    Capcom obviously strove to create a game that would preserve the spirit and outlooks of its prequels (read - it's another damn PSX1 port). It seems that they pushed this tendency one step too far, and forgot to actually deliver anything new to the gaming scene.

    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.

    Resident Evil 3 isn't the best place to start for a newcomer to the series. It's a zombie-killing rampage that lacks the inventive game structure that made "Resident Evil 2" so good.
