 Still A Good Game, But More Could Have Been Done With This Version November 20, 2005

Being a huge fan of Resident Evil, and having played both the remake of the original and Resident Evil 0 on Gamecube, when I heard that Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica would also be making their way to the 'Cube, I was very anticipant. However my hopes were crushed when I found out that the games would simply be ported from their original versions found on the PS1 and PS2. Not only that but Capcom was planning on selling them at a whopping $40 price tag. Make no mistake there is absolutely nothing new about this version of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. If you own the original PS1 version, then there is no reason to buy this as it is the EXACT same game. I'm really disappointed by Capcom's lazy attitudes towards the re-releases on Gamecube. In its day Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was a great game, and still today it is just as enjoyable. If you have never played it before, and you don't own a PS1 or PS2, then this would be a great way to get aqquainted with the game for the first time.
Story wise Resident Evil 3: Nemesis doesn't really break any new ground for the franchise. It actually takes place on the same night as Resident Evil 2, and in the same place. Instead of controlling Leon or Claire though, you are back to controlling Jill Valentine, who must now also escape from the zombie infested Racoon city. However a mysterious beast known as "Nemesis" has been unleashed to hunt down Jill and exterminate her, and there are frequent portions through out the game where you will run into him. It's more of a side story to the second game than an actual third installment (many rightfully consider Resident Evil: Code Veronica to be the third chapter in the story.) Despite that fact it's still an extremely fun game to play, as it has just as many creepy and tenseful moments are any of the other RE games (while being concentrated a bit more on action, like RE2). The graphics are pretty weak compared to anything of today's standards, but to be appreciated, you have to consider the time it came from. Capcom could have at least touched up the graphics and made the game a bit faster if they were simply going to port it, but I guess complaining about it isn't going to do anything.
Control wise it's exactly the same as every other RE game, just simply incorporating the Gamecube controller layout found in the previous Gamecube RE titles. I'm guessing if you're considering buying this, then most likely you've played a RE title somewhere before, so you should have no problems picking the game back up and getting to work. I actually like the layout and feel the Gamecube contoller gives the game, and it seems to be much better suited for the game the PS controller was.
Like I stated before, it's the exact same game found on the PS1, so if you already own any previous form of this game (Playstation, Dreamcast) there is very little incentive for you to pick this one up, especially with Capcom deciding that they'll just sell them for $40. I could understand $20 maybe, even $25 at the most, but no one should be taken advantage of like that. Capcom only ported the games with hopes of capitalizing on the market who had hopefully not played any of the RE games before they hit Gamecube. Even those who didn't most likely have a PS1 or PS2 and they can find the same game on that system for like $10. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of.
Overall this game is still good, and a worthy installment in the series, but Capcom's obvious laziness definitely brings down what could have been an oustanding game had it have at least been touched up. As it stands RE 3: Nemesis is solid, but not a necessary purchase if you own the original. If you have never played the game, and don't own a PS1 or PS2, then I'd say pick it up if you can find it at a reasonable price. Don't expect anything near the level or Resident Evil or Resident Evil 0, because this game does not stack up. It had a lot more potential, but Capcom just got lazy. What a shame.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was originally released for the Playstation, and has now been ported to Gamecube so that players can enjoy the Resident Evil series on one console. After the events of the original game, Raccoon City has been overrun by zombies and heroine Jill Valentine must make her last escape.
This game is still a solid experience after half a decade. The controls (once you get past the usual Resident Evil stiffness) are solid, and minor enhancements have been tagged onto the gameplay; the 180-degree turn makes it debut here, which allows players to quickly spin around when being confronted by a zombie hoard. Another thing I've always liked about RE3 is how it allows you to really explore the ruins of Raccoon city, something only hinted at in Resident Evil 2. The main story here isn't quite as strong as other installments in the series, but its still gripping enough to pull you in. Plus there's always the relentless Nemesis and his rocket launcher to worry about.
Is this game worth the purchase on Gamecube? If you can't play the other versions (Playstation, Dreamcast, PC) and hold the overall gaming experience above dated graphics, then yes. But I'd suggest looking for a used copy first if possible.
Awesome game July 20, 2005

In Resident Evil 3 you play Jill Valentine from the first Resident, only this time she's stuck in Raccoon City surrounded by zombies. The story is intense and the live action choices which affect the ending you will get adds a high replay value to the game, not to mention the mini-games after you beat it.
