Certainly not faffing about with heart-shaped keys and arcane statues.Īre my expectations tainted by Resident Evil 2? Absolutely, and I’m sure there are people who didn’t get on with that brand of survival horror, and who might fall in love with Resident Evil 3 and its more action-oriented pacing-or fell in love with it 20 years ago, and are looking to rediscover that feeling. “There’s a weird door over here,” Carlos says, and then his partner reminds him they have an objective and that objective entails walking straight down this hallway with an assault rifle. It doesn’t have nearly the same depth.Īnd revisiting the Police Station a bit later as Carlos is just salt in the wound, as you’re constrained to a mostly linear stretch of hallways between the entry hall and the STARS Office. The opening stretch of Raccoon City holds promise, with Jill darting back and forth from donut shop to subway station to rail depot, but it’s over and done in an hour and then you move on. I keep hoping I’ll find an area as charming and intricate as the Police Station, but it hasn’t happened yet and seems less likely the longer I play.

They’re not the only ones with one-hit kill cheap shots either. And it all happens in the sewers, one of the worst environments from Resident Evil 2 and no better here. Popping them with the grenade launcher kills them, but it’s a long section spent fighting, and fighting, and fighting-and then maybe dying because one of them appeared from off-screen and ate you before you could react. In the end, Resident Evil 3 is own nemesis, a remake that’s enjoyable but seems a little shallow when compared to the innovations the RE3 that came before it brought to the table.Worse still are the “Hunters.” First encountered in the sewers, these fleshy plant-dinosaurs are capable of devouring Jill whole, which in video game terms means they kill you in a single hit. Resident Evil 3 is a stellar remake of a survival-horror classic that honors the past, while updating the game with contemporary graphics and controls. Resident Evil: Resistance, the online multiplayer mode that is set in Raccoon City is also available.Nemesis will also have a differnt look a bit different, but his toothy smile remains.Compared to the original game, the characters in the remake will have a different look.She also has to get away from Nemesis who is an intelligent bioweapon that is out to kill all the S.T.A.R.S.

This is the peak of the zombie apocalypse because of the T-Virus, and Jill is attempting to escape Raccoon City. The events are set at the same time as Resident Evil 2 and players get to control Jill Valentine a former S.T.A.R.S. Resident Evil 3 is a remake of 1999s Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
