FIVE "S-T-A-R-S!"

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 14 / 15

We've all seen them before, "survival horror" games. The idea behind them being simple. Somewhat ordinary person thrown into a ... situation that they have to survive. Allies are scarce, the enemies are plentiful, and the ammo is practically non-existent.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis brings something a little unique to the otherwise repetitive formula for Resident Evil games. Borrowing from something that was used in Resident Evil 2, the game adds "Nemesis". Basically a walking, organic, tank of a freak who's hunting you throughout the entire game. The only warning you get before he shows up to cave your head in is ominous music and his catch phrase "S-T-A-R-S!" If you haven't found the Resident Evil games scary to date, this little twist adds a whole new level of fear that keeps you on your toes throughout the entire game.

The plot is a little simplistic. It covers the day before Resident Evil 2 begins, to the day after Resident Evil 2 ends. And because the two take place in relatively the same area, there are instances where you'll explore areas seen in RE2. It's interesting to note that the creators of the game don't pay much attention to continuity. One of the most obvious examples being a window that's broken in one game, then mysteriously fixed in another. Worth pointing out, but not really integral to the plot of the game, or its worth.

The downsides of the game are little things. Voice acting is a little bad (a staple for the series), the controls are awkward, and the game is too short.

Graphics are good. Probably the best you would have seen on the Playstation One. On Game Cube they're a little below the mark, especially when compared to Game Cube's earlier Resident Evil releases like Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero. There's not a lot of improvement in the graphics on the Game Cube, or at least no imporvements that my eyes can see. The game may move a little faster but that's about it.

All in all, it's a good game for a port. And a welcomed port since Nintendo now has the Resident Evil games exclusively on Game Cube. Adding in the Resident Evil 2&3 ports, along with the upcoming Code Veronica port will put most of the games on one system, so fans wanting to play through the entire series will be able to without buying two or three systems. Based on its original merits as a PSOne game, and the seamless transition to the Game Cube, this game deserves five stars.

The Best Resident Evil Game By Far

Resident Evil 3 has great weapons...at least you can live though the zombies feasting on you, and the controls are a bit better but, still sloppy. [The only bad thing]about the game is that Nemesis is faster than you..thats the only [thing], but, its part of the game. Great game to those that love the horror side of Playstation.

Who cares bout graphics, when everything else is FANTASTIC!

This game WILL get you hooked for days. Because reason 1. you'll probably try to master the dodging technique. 2. Mercenaries mode. 3. Getting all 9 epiloques by beating the game 9 times. Trust me on this, every time you play you'll have a load of fun. Yeah, sure, there are puzzles that are mad hard to figure out, but if you THINK you'll figure it out. I also love the fact that if your able to kill nemesis, he gives you cool items.( Only on normal mode) so don't rent it. BUY IT!

re3 is by far the best re games out to date. Nemisis is scary as hell and the main character from re1 returns. On the day of her retirement( the novel tells you) she trys to escape a hellish city that was once raccon city and is now being chased by ravouze zombies and the main creature of the game. NEMISIS.
there is no difference on the gc and psx versian jus a tad bit sharper thats it but still a great game. Be sure not to miss this one folks. did i mention nemisis will be in the new re movie?

Being a resident evil fan since the launch of the series back in 96 when the original RE came out for ps1, I knew i needed a gamecube when i found out that the RE series was coming to nintendo. First the remake of resident evil was realeased, awesome game, then RE 0 which gets even better than the first, then came out RE 2 i thought this was the best game ever untill RE 3 came out, RE 3 takes the cake this is the greatest game on Gamecube hands down, although it is no different from when it was originally released on ps1 in 99, but being a cube fan and an RE fan more importantly i can honestly say that this game is the greatest thing since sliced butter. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY TRUE RE FAN!

This game came out on the Playstation and Dreamcast back in 1999 and you experienced being chased by some Jason Voorhees like character called The Nemesis which freaked you out because he followed you all throughout the game!!!! The Gamecube version has slightly upgraded graphics from the Dreamcast version with the cliping and bulging of the characters gone!!!! It is still a great game even for it's age!!!!! It's graphics may possibly be the some of the poorest on the Gamecube but it is still worth playing despite the abysmal visuals!!!!!!!

Although this game with be the same as the original and possibly the same graphics.But for someone who is a awesome and dedicated fan like me,will love this game along with the series,and the up-coming RE 4 which will star Leon as he will get infected with the P-Virus which was mentioned in RE Zero and also RE Online for PS2

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.
