This is one of my favorite RE games of all time. I was surprised that they were releasing it onto the GC so I checked it out.

It is just like the second one by which I mean its just a port. Buy this if you can only buy it on this console or if you're an impatient person. The real difference between this game and the PS1 game is that the loading times are way faster.

The storyline is self-explanatory, your trying to escape town while a giant monster stalks you with heavy weaponry.

I loved the Nemesis, he was a great idea for this series. I remember when I first saw him and was terrified so I chose the option to run into the Police Station. While inside, he attacked again. I ran into the next room, thinking it would be safe when, BAM! he kicks the door down and starting firing a rocket launcher at me and those in my path, namely the undead.

There are many moments like this involved in this game, which make it all the more frightning and entertaining. The other feature I like in this game is the command system where what you say determines the outcome of the game. It reminds me of those adventure books where it was like "If you want to follow the villian, turn to page 117; If you want to go to the Library, turn to page 50."

Anyway, only pick up this game if you can't find it for any other console.

Pros
- One of the best games in the series, a must-have
- Faster loading times
- The ability to choose your path

Cons
- Graphics could be redone, instead we get a port of the PS1 game
- There's nothing different from this game or the PS1 game

Legendary

All of you geeks saying "Resident Evil is not my type of game, and Resident Evil is Boring," need to shut up and congradulate this masterpeice. If you even got half interested in this game, you will understand the greatness of Resident Evil 3. Let me tell you something, when I beat this game (for the 12th time) I truly loved it. The game had just about the best plot, and enimies, and don't even get me started with the legendary Nemesis. I could go on forever about how great this game is, but that is basicly all the small details I can tell you. Capcom forever, hell yea.

Same graphics, BUT scary!

We all know now the RE is almost the top selling game on the GCN, Zero is above it, but the downfall of 2 isn't. Yet again, another waist of waiting, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis came out. Same Graphics, but more zombies. Cheap looking gore, but scary scenery. Nemesis is the only new improved thing in the game. Now instead of big blob of polygons, it is a well done creature. The addition of female, male, fat and skinny zombies makes you feel like, "Hey, that looks like my girl friend. DIE!". That is cool and makes the game scary. The fire and smashed cars and the cramped city is just plainly scary. Still, it would've done better if CapCom wasn't so lazy! But I would recomend buying this one for the GameCube. Scare you later!

RESIDENT EVIL LOVER...

THIS GAME IS GREAT, BUT ONLY BUY IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PS1 OR PS2 BECAUSE THE GRAPHICS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE PS1 GAME, AND DO NOT DO THE GAMECUBE JUSTICE...GREAT GAME THOUGH!

Not A REMAKE!

RE 2 and 3 are no remakes, just reformated games to be put on the Gamecube. The only remake was the first RE and thats it and everything else is the same as the Playstion versions. Dont waist your money on buying a game you can just get for the PS witha cheaper price. Who ever said that this and RE3 has better graphics is wrong. They've been talking way to much about nothingm, they are just assuming things that become big lies.

Awesome game

In Resident Evil 3 you play Jill Valentine from the first Resident, only this time she's stuck in Raccoon City surrounded by zombies. The story is intense and the live action choices which affect the ending you will get adds a high replay value to the game, not to mention the mini-games after you beat it.

Can't recommend this one

First off: The Gamecube ports of RE2, RE3 and RE Code Veronica are not meant for vets who played them already on Playstation or Dreamcast. These are for newcomers to the series, Gamecube owners who started off with the REmake and RE0. Ignorant vets will be disappointed at the lack of new content.

I became an RE fan in the spring of 1996 when the first game in the series was new. I loved it and I couldn't wait for the sequel. When RE2 was finally announced, many fans were disappointed that it had two entirely new characters instead of reusing the characters from the first game. The director explained that every RE game had to have new characters, because the previous characters had already been through their share of horrors and were now hardened by them. I agreed with him 100%. So later when RE3 was announced and Jill from RE1 was the main character, that seeded my disdain for the game. It disappointed me that the creator didn't have the balls to stick to his guns, because he was right. Later I came to accept the rehashing of previous characters in RE games, but this was the first one to do it, and it annoyed me.

Eventually the game came out and I bought it. Another irking detail niggled me right out the gate; RE3 has no "normal" difficulty setting, which is what I always play my games on when given the choice. In this game, you have to choose between easy or hard. Easy is insultingly easy and hard is harder than I like. However, RE3 does have some great gameplay innovations such as the gunpowder based ammo creation system, and the defensive dodge move, which I really wished they'd put into all following games in the series. There are also several points where you have to choose between two possible actions, and the choice you make does have an effect on what happens next. The puzzles are fairly standard for an RE game.

RE3 does nothing to further the storyline. It's a complete sidetrack. I've always personally considered Code Veronica to be the true sequel to RE2, and RE3 to be a 'gaiden' (sidestory). Recently it's come out that this is the official truth, and the only reason Code Veronica wasn't given the title RE3 was because of the business relationship (or perhaps even actual contractual obligations) between Capcom and Sony. In some cases I would argue that if the gameplay itself is good, the story doesn't matter. But the fact is, RE1 set up Umbrella as the ultimate evil jerks who needed to be taken out, and RE2 did precious little to bring us closer to that goal. By the end of RE3, you're in exactly the same place RE2 left you, no closer to taking down the bad guys. Code Veronica, on the other hand, does indeed finally take the fight directly to Umbrella. And while I'm on the subject, I really have to question the wisdom of having RE4 take place in a world where Umbrella has already been taken out completely. That's one pleasure that DEFINITELY should have been given to the player.

To sum up: I'm an RE vet of eight years and I don't recommend RE3.

OMG IM SOOO HAPPY THEY ADE THIS GAME 4 GAMECUBE!!!!

The game is good. It would be better if it were longer

I don't own this game yet for GameCube. I just purchased GameCube yesterday. However, this is a port from DREAMCAST, not PLAYSTATION. The graphics are not very different... but are SLIGHTLY different. And I like having the best graphics I can possibly get from a game. And Dreamcast is not worth owning, so get it for GameCube.

The end.
