8.5/10

Resident Evil 3 take some more creative liberties with its source material but still comes out on top. The remake offers a more refined take on the original game to become something much more memorable. While some spirit has been lost in translation, Resident Evil 3 is superbly paced and one of the better modern Resident Evil games, and a chapter that any horror fan shouldn’t miss.

Resident Evil 3 is a decent horror-action game that falls short of the Resident Evil 2 standard.

Nemesis himself is just an annoyance.  Unable to be killed until the story allows it he’s just a nuisance to run to, and the controls (especially dodging zombies) can be a right pain in the ass when doing so.  If you get grabbed by a zombie you’ll have to mash A quickly, though that doesn’t avoid damage.  You’ll get a sometimes far-too-long animation of being bitten (though not infected) before you fight them off. The title also comes with Resident Evil: Resistance, a 1 v 4 pvp mode that I didn’t like at launch and don’t like now.  The GP effect should help with the player count though, so if ...

It's no reinvention of the wheel, but Resident Evil 3 is a satisfactory survival horror game nonetheless. Despite some wobbles and a sense of victory-lap complacency, RE3 has just enough intriguing moments to survive.

Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it’s riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.

Resident Evil 3 is a solid remake that aptly pays homage to the original RE3 by failing to live up to its immediate predecessor. While the core gameplay remains strong, with engaging gun controls and a new dodge mechanic that very much feels at home, Raccoon City itself feels disappointingly constrained and its star performer, the Nemesis, has been relegated to scripted sequences. The cloud-related hiccups we encountered here serve as a reminder that the technology is far from perfect, but even if it were, Resident Evil 3 is far from essential. We'd recommend it for the most passionate fans of...

The remake of Resident Evil 3 makes a strong first impression, and its online companion game Resistance has some interesting ideas, but they both struggle to follow through.

Shortly after RE2 released, Capcom teased that the follow-up, Resident Evil 3, was up for being remade as well. While somewhat predictable, this game was largely being developed alongside Resident Evil 2, and while it carries the remake torch in much the same way, it does stumble and drop it from ti

Overall, Resident Evil 3 is a good game that could’ve been great had it received the same level of care and reinvention that its predecessor had. There is fun to be had here but it falls short of Resident Evil 2, in both quantity and quality of content. As such, it will forever live in its predecessor’s shadow.
