Video Game Reviews of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Customer Review: FIVE "S-T-A-R-S!"
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Resident Evil 3 GCN
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Customer Review: Fun game but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an excellent game, I have it for the playstaion but I would hve enjoyed it more if it was longer because it seemed way too short for a Resident Evil game. Other than that it is an excellent game for any Resident Evil fan.Customer Review: gOOD GAME, BUT NEVER EALLY LIKED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

This game is classic RE. Same controls as always and slightly better graphics. I dont think there is anything new. I love RE, but the only thing i dont like about this game is that you have that stupid nemesis guy chasoin you around all the time. its annoyingCustomer Review: just a port
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, if you are hoping for better graphics, then you will be disappointed. The graphics are exactly the same as the PSone version. Other than that, this is a great game and any true resident evil fan (like myself) should get this. If you haven't played the PSone version and own a gamecube, then you should try the entire series also.
