Every Resident Evil game is good but i think that this one is one of the best. Resident Evil 3 i think is the hardest out of the lot but that made the game all the more interesting, as i felt that the other two were a walk through. The graphics on the game are amazing and the game play is excellent. Out of the three that are availble on the dreamcast i would buy in this order: Code Veronica, Resident Evil Nemesis and then Resident Evil 2. This aside all of the Resident Evil games are worth having as the puzzles will keep you at it for along time.

Resident Evil 3 is da bomb

RE3 is the best so far. The graphics are unbelievable, and the action is never-ending. The story line is pretty good as well, and the quantity of guns is not comparable to any other game out there. If you want a great action and horror game, this is the one to buy.

A more action oriented game in the Resident Evil series

Before the Dreamcast kicked the bucket, Capcom decided to release conversions of they're super smash hits Resident Evil 2 and 3 to the DC. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis may be at the top of the list of the best RE games and for good reason: the Nemesis. You play as Jill Valentine running and gunning your way through zombie infested Raccoon City (approx. 24 hours before the events in Resident Evil 2) while at the same dodging past the relentless Nemesis which is one of the most nightmarish and invincible opponents in video game history. Everything that made the original PS1 version so great is all retained here, but that is also a flaw considering the graphic horsepower of the Dreamcast is non-existant. So while you do get faster loading times and some cleaned up character models, this looks exactly like it's PS1 cousin. Also the controls are a little slippery as well, especially with the joystick. A few extras are included: you can select a costume for Jill right from the beginning of the game and you can play Mercenary Mode right from the start as well. All in all, if you missed it on the PS1 and own a Dreamcast, give this a try.

What is so great about RE3: Nemesis?

The Resident Evil series has a brilliant concept: zombie movie video games, because we all know a movie is fake, but a video game is in fact real. A zombie movie is all about showing people what would happen to society that has been over taken by walking dead people eating the brains of people who are alive. Out of all the Resident Evil series, including Code: Veronica, Nemesis has this certain quality which all the other ones lack. In the beginning of Resident Evil 2, you start off in the demolished Raccoon City and right away you get this feeling of a huge city completely destroyed by the un-dead, which right away offers major exploration. However, the game then makes you go off to this very unrealistic police station instead. Capcom knew that they should have spent more time in the city, because, well it is a lot more exciting and visually spectacular. RE3:Nemisis is all about escaping from that city, and it is basically an entire game played throughout the demolished city of Raccoon, which is absolutely breath taking. There are a lot more zombies to kill, not to mention that there are actually a variety of different looking zombies. More surprise attacks that shock your entire nervous system and a lot more cinemas as well. The game has been graphically enhanced by Dreamcast: now the cinemas look even better than Code: Veronica's. Dreamcast added a battle mode for RE3 which totally blows away Code: Veronica's and you do not have to beat the game to play it. The only thing about RE3 on DC is that the character models have not been graphically enhanced, in fact, they are direct cut outs from the PS1 version. I dont really have a problem with it, its just that RE2 got the full graphic production, with new character models. Anyway, my point is that all the other Resident Evils take place in some creepy mansion with brain busting puzzles which is not even apart of any zombie movie. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is the only game of the series that actually makes the most sense, in a creepy, decimated way. It has the most replay value out of the whole series too. The problem with Code: Veronica is that there is not enough action, suspense, surprises, weapons, and not even enough blood, guts, and gore. Code: Veronica has the most gorgeous incredible graphics I have ever seen, but it still uses the same animations of RE2 and RE3! Even the same puzzles! I love the entire series, and if you think that this game is the weakest, you are soo wrong! Long live RE3:Nemisis!!

Don't get BIT!

This game is one of the best games ever made. I still think Capcom should bring THE BEST Resident Evil made out on DC. That is the original. The first RE had the freakiest music, the coolest story, and it had the mansion that made you crap your pants. I remember playing it for the first time. I had really bad nightmares that night. RE3 is awsome, but would Capcom PLEASE release RE1 for DC?

Great fun

A lot of people seem to dislike this game 'cause it "isn't a true sequel to 2". So what? It is easily the best in the series, yes it's even better than Code Veronica. The graphics are awesome, as is the story. My favorite part would have to be having ammo. I hated the lack of action in the other games. Here, you can just blow things away. Lots of fun.

Story: 8/10
Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 7/10
Fun: 9/10

WARNING: This game contains excesive use of the word STARS

Well, its true. Although not the best, Nemesis manages to be the most original of the RE games {minus Code Veronica}. First, the plot is a bit confusing. The first half takes place before Resident Evil 2, the the second half after. Jill Valentine, S.T.A.R.S member from RE, was about to leave for Europe to find Chris Redfield, yet another member of S.T.A.R.S. Unfortunatley, the T- Virus broke out again. If thats not enough, a huge G/T- Virus monster named Nemesis is sent out to kill all S.T.A.R.S members. The graphics are very good, even better than those in RE 2, and the sound fits the game perfectly. Third, the setting is great. Instead of everything happening in a single mansion {RE} or a police station {RE 2}, you must explore an entire zombie infested city. Fourth, Nemesis is cool. He is damn near indestructable, and has many forms, so the fights {9 in total, not counting the final fight} don't get redundant. Plus, he is scary, AND can say S.T.A.R.S. The weapons are all the same, except now you create your own ammunition. So, to put it bluntly, GET THIS GAME!

The best game I played

Unlike The First 2 Resident Evils. The Game dosent let you starve for weapons. Youre always provided with amination, to kill the foes around you, that are attacking you. but you will be doing alot of running when being chased by the nemesis. Dont bother trying to fight him before the showdowns, because you will loose. This is the best game Ive ever played. Its hard but its great. Its scary, its like you are actally playing and watching one of George Romereo's Dario agento's zombie horror movies. You see all differnt type of character zombies in that game. I like that one character in that game, The blond headed female zombie wearing the spandex gym tights. You dont see the same ones over and over again like the first 2 Resident Evils. but Resident Evil part 1 had 1 thing what the other 2 Resident Evils didnt have. You notice on Resident Evil part 1, you are in the mansion with bunch of live undead zombies who were one time scientist research workers before they died. The zombies you see that game are all different kinds of races. you come accross white zombies black zombies. you dont see that in resident 2 and 3. Also you are in the mansion, The has images of bathrooms you walk in, and mirrors in those bathrooms, you can actally see your Characters reflection in the mirror. you dont get that in the police station on Resident Evil 2 or the restaurants in Resident Evil 3. If you are a horror movie fan, you will enjoy those games.

it excellent

Woo-hoo! Capcom ported over both Resident Evil 2 and 3 for the DC! Err, sorry there... Anyway, the third installment to the zombie-fest series is easily the most action packed--thus making it one of the best. The story, however, is just lacking--Jill Valentine must escape from Raccoon City. That's it. Obviously, Capcom was looking for a quick buck. It turns out though, that this quick buck rocks. It's still the same thing it's always been--shoot, solve dumb puzzles, get scared, repeat--but it proves to still hold up even though it's showing its age by now. The only real difference between this and any other RE game is Nemesis--a big ugly freak in a long trench coat looking to take out all existing S.T.A.R.S. members--and in case you missed out on the first RE, Jill, the coolest character in the RE series, just so happens to be a S.T.A.R.S. member. Nemesis will show up when you least expect it (like the Tyrant from RE2) and scare you silly--you're also faced with certain decisions when fighting him called Live Selection, which will structure your course. This makes for replayability, which is what I always felt the RE series lacked. Another new, but small, aspect is the ability to now make your own ammo--unfortunately, it's more of a waste of time than anything (just give me the ammo!). Other than that, it's the same RE you've been playing for years now--which is its only problem, I felt a case of "been there, shot that" throughout Jill's journey. The sound is still fundamental to the game, the voice actors are still poor (though getting better), the music still pales to the first RE, the control is even worse than the PSX version (the DC control design is to blame for that, not Capcom), but you cannot go wrong picking this game up--especially for the price it's going for. If you didn't pick up the PSX versions of RE 2 and 3, make sure you pick them up now--as in right now. Hurry!
