Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Review

As I stated in my review from the Resident Evil: Director's Cut, I've been a fan since '96 when the orginal game came out. Eventually I would go on to buy all the titles. This game I loaned out & never got it back. Aside from learning a lesson, I have missed my game. But, thanks to Amazon & Matt I have gotten it back. The game came in perfect condition & time. That is why I stated before "Buy from Matt!"

You have to give it up for this Resident Evil. This is a must have for any survival horror fan. Very good detail, story line and replay value.

Probably the scariest Resident Evil...

Nemesis is one scary mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So beware!!

He seems to be around every corner imaginable, and he's quite invincible, until the end, so don't get those hopes up! :-)

A decent run-through, but a bit difficult.

Difficulty: 7
Difficulty, compared the hardest Resident Evil (RE Remake): 6
Graphics: 6.5
Characters: 6
Sound: 6.5
Replay-ability: 6 (You get more guns, I believe as well as other hidden bonuses).

3.5 stars.

fun game

This was the third and one of the hardest installement in the series. Esepcially on hard mode. Here are some tips on how to beat this game on hard mode based of a speed run release early this year or late last year. Try to put on infinite help. If seeing how fast you can do this get the shotgun as soon as powerful and use it at close range when neccessary when fighting multiple normal enemies. When attacked by nemissi run away as fast as you can since he is programm to eliminate all sureviving mebers of star a millitray defense force created to expose the illegal umbrela corporetations experiment. The main character is injected with a virus but do to a cermun called thew T cell whgich delays the zombie fication program she still has control over here self. Get the shooty gun. At the end of the game you can hurt nemesis and after turning the power of in the final before the city is nuked of the map you have a choice of finishing nemsis of permantely if you have cheats one or can hit him fromn a distance with the shoot guns or the freeze gas and other weapons that you can find or unlock or if you have enough herbs to restore your health before you die. Running more will get you through the game faster and quicker which you want on hard mode if you don't have life super armoor or infinte shotgun shells or something like that. They don't mention nemsis orgin as clear parts of this game were partly based on the second movie resident evil reserection. Nemesis does not turn on the scientist that experiment on him at the last minute allow Jill a few second head start before the helicopter is shoot down and explodes in the movie but she survives. If you ernjoy this try the super hard resiodent evil four or the diono cris games

An excellent addition to the 1st/best survival horror series EVER

For those of you who don't know, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis follows the aftermath of Resident Evil 2, where heroes Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield were introduced and ended with the both of them, along with Sherry Birkin, daughter of Umbrella big-shot scientist William Birkin, escaped the clutches of Umbrella, fighting their way out of Raccoon City.

Now, you're back to being Jill Valentine from the original R.E. and you've lost your job, your home, and all hell has now broken loose in Raccoon City like never before. The President has ordered the "Complete Sanitation" of Raccoon City, as the T-Virus has spread throughout the whole city beyond level of containment, and it's up to you to get Jill out of there...

...But now, a new bio-weapon has been released by Umbrella into Raccoon City, specifically programmed to take out all-remaining S.T.A.R.S. personnel, and he is one ruthless fother mucker (no pun intended) by the name of project: Nemesis.

His role in this game is to make your life completely miserable---He follows you wherever you go, shows up with new weapons sometimes (like a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher!!!), and he is determined to put you out of business like Enron (no pun intended)

This game introduces new monsters like the amphibious hunter known as Hunter Gamma, modified lab monsters (from R.E. 1), as well as killer bloodsucker-leeches and some big nasty worms you won't find at your local bait shop. Also new characters like Carlos and Nikolai, whom you might remember from the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

This game is much like one of it's predecessors, Resident Evil 2, as it is set in the city and you go through the police station as part of your quest, of course to be pursued by your handsome friend Nemesis. This game is the ultimate fight for Jill's survival in her mission to find former teammate Chris Redfield and continue their mission to put an end to Umbrella once and for all at their headquarters in Europe.

The gameplay is great--You have decent dodging-techniques against common monsters like zombies and the introduction of the reloading tool so that you can make your own ammunition is also a big plus.

5 Stars, excellent gameplay and fun factor overall.

My friend gave me this game & others for free.

My friend had alot of PS1 games he didn't want and he gave them all to me and I found this game with those games. This game was kind of hard for first timers because you got to get use to the controllers and the game movements at first. I was just turned off at the first try and said ah what the hell it's so hard I can't do it oh well it's free anyway. But then I was playing dino crises which was the resemblence of resident evil and days later I got use to dino crises and im saying if I can play dino crises I can play resident evil. So then I played resident evil which I got so use to and I was glued to the couch for hours it was much better than dino crises the weapons were more interesting my controller vibrates so hard when getting eaten by zombies. Pretty awesome game lucky for me I got this game for free.

zombies, zombies, and more zombies

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is sometimes called the forgotten installment in the Resident Evil series. Other people just call it the least popular. Let's face it: all the attention went to Resident Evil 1 and 2 because those were the games that were revolutionary. Those were the games that not only brought realistic, never-before-seen gameplay and 3D survival horror graphics to the original Playstation, but the Resident Evil series also made it *very* difficult for any imitators to come along and try to overtake the popularity and success of the Resident Evil series. Capcom knew they had something amazing with this series, and that's why when video game fans think about being scared and trying to stay alive, the Resident Evil series *immediately* comes to mind.

Now, here comes Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, at the time of its release, this game didn't receive NEARLY as much attention as the previous two Resident Evil games. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that video game fans were anticipating the upcoming release of the Playstation 2 in the year 1999, or maybe people thought the Resident Evil series was starting to run dry. Nah, I highly doubt that second one is true. Nemesis was just the Resident Evil game that didn't really stand out, despite the many positive reviews of the game that I'm sure you've read about. Yes, the game is fantastic, and the fact that so many people would agree with me is more proof that the Resident Evil series was nowhere NEAR ready to be forgotten. Not in this lifetime, baby. It's just that Nemesis wasn't really a drastic jump forward in terms of innovation, like Resident Evil 2 was.

I honestly believe, if you have an appetite for running around destroying zombies, that Nemesis is the *perfect* Resident Evil game for you. I was completely taken by surprise as I continued to progress through the game and notice that the amount of zombies and other familiar enemies are absolutely LOADED almost everywhere you go. Zombies left and right!

At the very beginning of the game, when I looked inside that giant item box beside the typewriter, I couldn't believe Capcom was so generous as to give me more than enough ammo right from the beginning. I really mean it- you receive a LOT of ammo from your item box. After beating the game, I had a ton of ammo leftover. Now, I realize people will probably look at this as a bad thing, and complain that lots of ammo greatly decreases the challenge and makes progressing through the game a cakewalk. They'd also have a point if they wanted to complain that giving you loads of easily-available ammo straight from your item box doesn't really define "strategy game", since you aren't spending the majority of your time dodging enemies- you can simply walk up to them and shoot them and have *more* than enough ammo available for the next enemy you encounter. They'd be absolutely correct, on both counts.

Capcom is also pretty generous when it comes to those green herbs and first aid sprays. You can find plenty of them throughout the game, just sitting around on the table or floor, making the challenge level go down even more. Oh, and let's not forget that, in addition to having lots and lots of ammo generously offered to you, you also receive a few awesome weapons such as a machine gun and a shotgun straight from the beginning of the game. Another thing- when you pick up, for example, handgun bullets, you actually receive a LOT of ammo. I believe in Resident Evil 2 each of those orange packs of ammo contained about 15 bullets. In this game, you receive, and I'm honestly not kidding, around 40-50 bullets per pack. Capcom made running out of ammo something you will NEVER have to worry about.

However, in a few ways, the challenge has been increased from Resident Evil 2. For example, remember how slow the zombies would walk up to you in Resident Evil 2? You could practically stand next to them and blast away, and not have to worry about taking any hits. In Nemesis however, zombies are almost RUNNING at you, forcing you to turn around and allow yourself room to shoot. This is awesome, because you won't know which zombies are slow pokes and which ones are speed runners until you see one on screen. Oh, and thankfully a quick turnaround button has been included. Press down on the directional pad + the run button to turn right around. Very convenient button.

This game is also much scarier, not to mention much bloodier, than the previous Resident Evil game. The last time around, only *sometimes* zombies would break a window and try to attack you (along with crows, dogs and other dangerous enemies). In Nemesis, not only do windows break all the time, but zombies can pop out of cars, jump down from buildings, and other incredible things. Many times you will be caught completely off guard when it happens, too. This is awesome.

I love the fact that you actually go back to the police station from the previous Resident Evil game for a short while. You go back, grab some things, and then head back out to the streets again, where most of the game takes place. Interesting how the music from the main hall of the police station has remained exactly the same, and it's also interesting when you notice certain places blocked off that were very important to access in the previous game with Claire and Leon as your playable characters.

You're probably wondering why the game is called Nemesis. Well, Nemesis is the name of an enormous, persistent and dangerous maniac that, throughout the game, constantly tries to attack you. He can either smack you with his arm, or shoot rockets at you. This doesn't make the game as hard as you probably think, because most of the time you can simply run away from him. However, when he appears, get ready to either fight or run away. Don't stand around too long. Decide quickly!

I want to set the record straight about something. People writing reviews for this game will probably tell you that Nemesis chases you around from the beginning to the end of the game. That's not exactly true. Yes, it's true he will be a problem for you until the very last level but, you should know that Nemesis does NOT follow you around for the entirety of the game- he just appears *sometimes*, messes with you by following you into rooms and whatnot, and then he disappears for a while. If you haven't played this game yet, some reviewers will have you convinced that Nemesis will be chasing you around ALL the time -nonstop- and this is NOT true.

Probably the biggest challenge comes in the way of puzzle-solving. Now, think back to Resident Evil 2. What did you have? You had three or four puzzles to solve. And they were EASY! In Nemesis, let's see, you have 10-12 puzzles to solve, and some of them simply can't be completed unless you're either a really excellent puzzle solver, or you look the answers up on the internet.

Yes, I'm talking about that famous, dreaded water puzzle near the end of the game. Honestly, the best way to successfully finish the darn puzzle is to just look up all the possible solutions on the internet, and then write them down. I found seven different answers so far. Don't feel ashamed for having to look up the answers. This is one of those rare nearly-possible puzzles that you shouldn't feel bad about for not being able to understand it. Don't get me wrong- once you find out how to do the puzzle, it's easy. But if you happen to be mostly familiar with Resident Evil 2, and think you can go through the game on your own without a walkthrough, looking up help will probably be the best idea when you finally arrive to this puzzle. You'll be glad when it's finished!

The game has a good storyline too (well, by video game standards anyway) with excellent, action-packed cutscenes located throughout the game. If you consider yourself an action-type person, you will enjoy some of these cutscenes a LOT. I guarantee it. One of them has something to do with a helicopter, and you'll love watching it.

Also, Resident Evil 3 includes an infinite amount of ink ribbons to save your progress, and you now also have an option to skip over dialogue conversations and cutscenes by pressing the select button. You didn't have this in the last game.

Overall, I give this game the highest possible score you can give, and that would be 5 stars. It truly deserves it. The fact that you have to face about TWICE as many zombies this time around, and the fact that you are basically outside roaming the streets the entire time are major, major highlights for the game. These streets are deadly. Pick up this game today, and have fun.

My personal favorite.

I am a huge fan of the series, but this one is my favorite. It may not be the best overall (see re4, then re2) but it is by far the best story and i love the nemesis. the fact that he is so violent and unrelenting make him the best. the only gripe i have is that i beat it the first day i had it in only 3 hours. :(

The Truth about Resident Evil 3...

As I have mentioned before in my past reviews, I did not and will not buy Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 3 for Gamecube, I just don't feel like they gave the fans what they could have given them. In the fact that Resident Evil Remake, for Gamecube, is far better than the original Resident Evil on PSX 1.

That out of the way, let's slip once again into the Survival Horror genre with Resident Evil 3. To be flat-out-honest I loved this game from begining to end. Never once did I find myself annoyed or slowed down with any problems while playing this game. The graphics and sound are not much more than Resident Evil 2 gave us BUT the game itself seems to flow seemlessly with RE 2 in every aspect.

I feel that Capcom hit the nail on the head with this game as they did with Resident Evil 2... heck thus far they have done a real bang up job making these games. In closing all I can tell you is that not trying Resident Evil 3 would be a mistake... as the game has everything in it that you would need for a heartpounding experience of fun.
