    Resident Evil 3 is a stellar remake of a survival-horror classic that honors the past, while updating the game with contemporary graphics and controls.

    Resident Evil 3 retells the story of Jill's desperate escape from the doomed Raccoon City, using an intriguing plot and more fleshed out characters than the original. It falls short of the sheer amount of content its predecessors had, but it excels in moment to moment gameplay which it delivers in spades.

    In the end, Resident Evil 3 is own nemesis, a remake that's enjoyable but seems a little shallow when compared to the innovations the RE3 that came before it brought to the table.

    While last year’s Resident Evil 2 took the story and settings of the original game and expanded them into a finely tuned masterpiece, Resident Evil 3 feels like it took a much different approach. The story, and the path it takes from beginning to end, has seen some substantial changes compared to the original to the point where it’s sometimes difficult to see any semblance of its source material under this new coat of polygons and paint. That having been said, I did enjoy my time with Resident Evil 3 and I think that fans of the series, or fans of its predecessor, will enjoy it. However, one group I feel like it might struggle to impress are the fans of the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis which is quite unfortunate after how well last year’s Resident Evil 2 was received.

    Fundamentally, Resident Evil 3 is two great chase scenes, four awesome boss fights, and a bunch of mediocre filler to make up the rest of the running time. It’s a magnificent, breathtaking ride the first time through, but once that initial ride is over, it becomes a competent zombie shooter and little else.

    If you’re looking for the authentic Resident Evil experience, this is definitely not it. But if you have a Resident Evil itch that you just need to scratch, this could provide lots of hours of entertainment for you, even without the Resident Evil Resistance standalone experience. But at the end of the day, I’d rather just play the excellent Resident Evil 2 Remake, or even the original Resident Evil 3 on my old PS2 instead.

    Resident Evil 3 is essentially a chain of action set-pieces, threaded together with a paper-thin story and a few too many cutscenes. This is the direction the series started to take post-Resident Evil 4, when it seriously lost its way and we ended up with the abysmal Resident Evil 6, and I'd hate to see that happen again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very high replayability! You'll want to replay the single player to collect every item in the shop and the multiplayer game is sick! I do miss the mercenary mode in RE5 and 5E6 be Resistance is amazing in it's own right as it's 5 players! I suck at mastermind but you're never forced to play it, I have a ton of fun playing survivor anyway. I never played the original game, but I'm tempted to give it a shot as some scenes didn't make it into this remake apparently.… Expand

    Let's start with the fact that the game is not terrible at all! I could feel fear 1-2 times during the game.
    I don't understand why the game is so short. I passed it in about 3 hours. And I don't want to pay the full amount for such a thing.
    And the tyrant here is **** The whole game he wants to kill Jull, but for some reason he always loses and then comes back again. In the 2nd part, it would just his steps were enough to give you goosebumps with fear. And looking at him in this part, I want to cry.
    Also, there are no mazes like in the 2nd part. There are continuous corridors that turn into action.
    And there is no feeling of hopelessness. Ammunition lies at every step. And what is the interest then?
    Also cut many interesting puzzles from the original.
    Overall, I didn't like the game. Accordingly, 6/10.    … Expand
