They did it again...

They did it again! On November 10, Capcom unleashed yet another nightmare to one of playstation best series; Resident Evil. When Resident Evil 3: Nemesis hit the shelf, it brought with it a brand new type of game play never before seen in the gaming world. What is it, you ask? True-to-life player interaction; with it's option of split second decision making feature. I've never felt more part of a game then I did when I first saw the choice screen. RE3 also adds to RE2 by giving some insight as to what happened to the town before Leon and Clair arrived. The backgrounds have improved greatly since the series first began, as have all the graphics for that matter. The story line and plot twists don't seem to be as involved as the previous games. However, what the scrip lacks the game play makes up for. A reloading tool has been added to you arsenal of weapons, allowing you to create more powerful ammo yourself. There are 10 new zombies which all have their own way of attack. And now there's an unstoppable force after you throughout the entire game. RE3 has by far the best ending of any RE along with a killer soundtrack. The puzzles are much better because they are totally random and change every time you play a new game. And there's an added bones game once you've finished the actual game. Like the RE's the preceded it, RE3 rewards players with free weapons and unlimited ammo, but unlike the earlier games, these gifts must be earned by winning the bones game and collecting money to buy them. This game is a must for any Resident Evil fan, and I would strongly recommend anyone interested in a good scare, or in the mood to try something new should pick this game up; then you'll see why millions of people are crazy of Resident Evil.

Although not really a sequel, RE3 doesn't dissapoint!

This game is definately one to add to your Playstation library if you are serious about gaming. Resident Evil 3 brings back it's favored theme; an arsenal of weapons, a horde of undead, and a creepy atmosphere. Survival horror is heightened to new levels with the addition of the dodge technique (much needed to add a sense of realism, 'cause who would stand there and get bitten?), loss of the cheesy B-movie feel, and ability to make ammo depending on what weapon you use the most. The game revolves around the central idea being escape from a city infested with blood thirsty zombies. A new enemy, Nemisis, is out to destroy the members of S.T.A.R.S. and cover up Umbrella's dark secrets. He is highly reminicent of RE2's Mr. X, with a habit of intruding at the wrong time in the wrong place. Breaking up the action are FMV-like segments where you make a choice affecting the games outcome. These "live selections" add a depth to the game utilizing background, and moves a real person would use in that situation. The only part that seemed to have confused some people were the setting. RE3 happens 24 hours before RE2 and follows simultaneously until the end which happens about 24 hours after RE2. Still confused? Then think of it as telling a similar story from another person's point of view. Overall, Resident Evil 3 entertains with new weapons, smarter enemys (they now open doors, climb stairs, and bust through anywhere they can), and great gameplay that will last for hours on end. Although what happened to Claire, Chris and Leon?

I'm a grrlgamer who loves to be scared, and I was not disappointed by RE3. I have both RE & RE2, and while RE3 is not a huge leap above RE2, it is still the most entertaining of the 3. I love that it takes place in so many different environments: warehouses, the street, even back in the police station, the setting of RE2. The easy setting really is easy, but it's a great way to get comfortable with the game. The bonus game that you get when you solve it makes it worth the price of the game alone. In Mercinaries, you play one of the "bad guys" who must make it to a certain point in 2 minutes. It sounds tough, but it is so fun (kind of like Operation Wipe Out in Dino Crisis). If you are an RE fan, don't hesitate to get this installment. I just can't wait until the RE series comes out on Playstation 2!

The best part about this game that I haven't read in the other reviews is when you win the game you can actually unlock a totally new game which allows you to play "beat the clock" against the zombies. You get to select one of the 4 various characters within RE3 and with limited weapons you have venture back through the streets to get from point "a" to a designated point "b" on the map. You have to select your weapons carefully because they are far a few in between. A very nice surprise. overall the game is great, a little easier than RE2. Is it worth while buying? I'd say "no" because its one of those games that is a "loop" the zombies are in the same place in the same time if you should restart. If you do decide to buy it you'll figure out where everything right away. Once you solve it it's kind of a let down because the game doesn't change the 2nd time around. Don't play it for a while in order to add to the suspense. Worth a double 5 day rental from blockbuster to only cost you $ rather than $. just a thought

Just plain awesome.

This game rocks. I was first in line to get it. It has greatly improved graphics from RE2. The backgrounds are improved, and so are the characters. The best part about it is that THERE ARE ABOUT 15 DIFFERENT KINDS OF ZOMBIES. The story is really great, always twisting and turning. Unfortunately, it's not as good as RE2.My favorite thing is the choices because they are cool. Also, The new dodge feature and the 180 turn is really great because they save you in tough situations. NEMISES WILL SCARE THE PISS OUT OF YOU, TRUST ME. The cinemas are cleaner ( though not as good as FF8's amazing cinemas, they are pretty high up there with Silent Hill's). This game has all the atmosphere. GREAT, AMAZING, SCARY, AWESOME.

The game is really fun. Play the easy mode to get used to where all the bad guys jump out at you. If you struggle, buy a guide to help you understand why certain things happen. You will need to learn when to attack and when to just run by your opponent in order to conserve health or ammo.

The trick is to just survive your first game without worrying about your recorded time or grade. After you are finished, play Merecenaries and earn money. Use that money to purchase weapons with unlimited fire power. An assault rifle with infinite rounds $2,000. A rocket launcher that kills Nemesis in two shots $4,000. There is also a gattling gun that doesn't do much, but is fun to mess around with $3,000. If you are patient, you can purchase an unlimited weapons case for All your weapons for $9,999. All these infinite weapons can be used in your next game. The only drawback is that #3 doesn't have the reverse mode at the end like #2 does.

Hint: Use Frozen G shells rather then Fire or Acid. Nemesis is weaker to the Frozen ones.

This is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. You are a S.T.A.R.S member trying to get to the bottom of a virus outbreak called the T-virus. Trying to kill you are different varieties of mutated enemies. Along the way you have to solve puzzles. The weapons are also great. Some of them include a shotgun, grenade launcher and a rocket launcher. There is a mutant chaseing you throughout the entire game and will literally make you jump out of your seat at some points in the game. The gameplay is also magnificent. It is pretty gory though so it is not for little kids. This is definitely a playstation title that must be owned. Its great!

The Best Resident Evil Yet.

It seems that the creators of the original Resident Evil have once again outdone themselves. Although I wouldn't exactly call this a sequal. (It's more of a side story actually.) RE3 is definitly the scariest of all the RE games. The new Nemesis character is actually quite cool. The developers of the game said that no matter where you go the Nemesis is watching you, and boy howdy are they right. There are plenty of old tricks for old time RE fans as well as some new ones. For instance there's a new dodge option where you can dodge any attack from any enemy. Also, there is the 180 spin. (Introduced in Dino Crisis.) As for replay value, there is a lot. Throughout the game you given choices that you must make in split seconds. Depending on what you decide, you will get a different story and a different outcome. So be warned all ye who are without courage. This game is not for those who take to renting scary movies and hiding under their blankets. If you want to experience real life survival horror, you'll want to experience Resident Evil 3.
