    It is baffling to me that no one talks about this game anymore... mention resident evil 3, and people automatically think you're talking aboutIt is baffling to me that no one talks about this game anymore... mention resident evil 3, and people automatically think you're talking about the remake, which people think is the only version of the game to exist. Say what you will about the new game, but when I was growing up in the 2000's, no matter who you were, when any one said "Resident Evil" people immediately thought of two things.

    Jill Valentine, and Nemesis.

    These two are, without a doubt, one of THE MOST iconic pair in horror video gaming history. People who don't play video games know who these two are, even if they don't know their names, THATS how well known they are.

    When the remake came out last year, people took the opportunity to say just how BAD of a game the original Resident Evil 3 Nemesis was. The people who've said this have never played the game, and it's very obvious.

    Because you know what? I played this game for the first time just this last month.

    It has become my all time favorite Resident Evil Game.

    Tank controls are something to get used to, but when you do get use to them, you barely notice it.

    Dodging enemies is also very satisfying to pull off.

    I think it is literally one of the greatest horror games ever. It is that good to me. Yes, I've played RE2 and 1, and honestly this one is much more fun. Don't get me wrong, they're all good games, I enjoyed 1 and 2 very much, but 3 is like that game that transcends the series to me. You don't need to know Resident Evil to know who Jill and Nemesis are to each other, they're like David and Goliath. And it is a damn shame how they were handled in the remake.

    Resident Evil 3: Nemesis caps off the original RE trilogy amazingly. Raccoon City feels like a mini open world in this game.

The Nemesis encounters are awesome and the choice system adds a good bit of replay value. The Mercenaries mode is also a fun addition that can boost your time played. Expand

    Out of the original trilogy RE3 is my favorite. This game still holds up imo if your into the classic style Resident Evil games.
