About RESIDENT EVIL 3
About this game
Developed and published by CAPCOM.
This remaster of Resident Evil 3 allows players — both new and old — to experience the classic game, but with better graphics and an added mode!
Bigger and badder
Parasite-infected zombies, Drain Deimos, Hunters, and zombie dogs aren't the only thing you'll have to worry about in this entry, as Umbrella Corporation had an ace under their sleeve — the Nemesis! Help Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira — a U.B.C.S. mercenary — escape the hellish city!
Time is your friend
Resident Evil 3 introduced a dodge mechanic, where if done at the right time, it will slow enemies down and give you an edge; this adds a whole new layer to the combat. Master it to decimate all sorts of enemies — from the Hunters to the zombie dogs!
New mode
Aside from better graphics, you'll also find a whole new game mode to enjoy with friends! Resident Evil Resistance is a new 1v4 online multiplayer mode where four survivors face off against a sinister Mastermind! Play as both sides and see who can be who.

This is an extremely half-baked game that throws away almost all unique features of the original title in order to become a glorified Resident Evil 2 DLC. This game is NOTHING like the Resident Evil 2 remake. It is a below-average game on its own merits, and as a remake of one of the greatest games ever made, it is an abject failure.
While I did enjoy some things in the last third of this game, unless you are a RE completionist, I don't think there's anything worthwhile here for the average player.

This would be first RE game I played so my impressions of this game are too subjective and good but there are things that all players should agree on. The concept of crafting and collecting things is great, I like how interface is designed. There is lot of action, different type of enemies and main boss Nemesis is amusing. Usually, I don't like it when enemy keep appearing all the time, bothering me and preventing me from enjoying the game, but Nemesis is legend.
Moving to what could have been better. Game is a little too short. Maybe a few more parts and locations to go. And aiming before shooting. I come from FPS games where aiming isn't necessary to shoot, but here, you can't shoot unless you aim first. In situations where fast reactions and reflexes are crucial, I get scared and confused, causing me to lose time trying to remember to aim instead of just shooting and taking out the target.
All in all, I recommend this game to all fans of horror or action, it is a great way to try something new and different.

While I chose to recommend this game, I do so now that the game is cheaper than normal. At release it was obvious it was an astoundingly short game with barely any replay value.
Users considering buying this should at least take a look at playing the original RE3 instead, if you can forego the graphics and the gameplay.
It's "fun" enough and a bit of a spin on RE2 Remake gameplay, but for a game that was quite monumental to me. It's difficult to recommend

This game is just pure, fast-paced fun resident evil zombie action! Unfortunately it is pretty short, but id say still worth it!

It's nowhere near as long as Resident Evil 2's remake and it doesn't have the same amount of replayability, but RE3 is still a pretty fun game. I just wish there weren't so many scripted sequences.
