Only rabid third-installment fans and RE newbies need apply for this last escape.

It's not a great looking game but that was never its strength. It's all about mood and it has it here in spades.
Game Informer
Worth owning if you're an RE freak or new to the series, but everyone else can rest easy knowing this isn't a must-have. [Apr 2003, p.89]
GameCube Europe
Plain and simple, if you played/own this game on any other system that it’s been on then don’t bother handing over your cash for this one, there is nothing new or different in it.

A solid port of the original PSX game, but that's part of the problem: It is a port with no enhancements and a hefty price tag to boot.

The graphics have been polished up significantly from the original, but it still looks very ropey alongside Remake and Zero.

Slightly gimmicky but still very entertaining. [Mar 2003, p.136]
GameSpy
Bundling both RE 2 and Nemesis would've been a very appealing package for new- and series-followers alike. Instead, you end up paying nearly full price for an old game.

RE3's high price and disappointing lack of extras mean I can't recommend it as anything more than a rental for those new to the series. [Mar 2003, p.128]
IGN
The gameplay design is still as brilliant as it ever was on the PSX, but the overall package is not even close to earning its sticker price.

Had Nemesis been packaged along with "Resident Evil 2," it would have been easy to recommend for both fans and collectors.

An incredibly dated port, and the fact that it retails for as much as a game made within the last year is quite despicable.

No one will mistake the visuals of Resident Evil 3 for anything other than a GameCube port of a Dreamcast port of a PlayStation game. But considering the source material is over three years old, it could've been worse.

In all seriousness, games should come clearly stickered with a 'Best Before' date to ward off unsuspecting punters. These are two zombie shooters that should never have been exhumed.

I'm paying full price for an old game that I've already beaten on psx and 64.... the graphics are the same and no new extras or hidden bonuses... it's not a must have...
