It felt like in almost no time, I had a grenade launcher and was mowing through larger enemies like they were nothing. The issue that pops up with Resident Evil 3 is that you seem to get to the space marine phase just a little too soon. By the time the third act kicks in, your character is geared up like a space marine with assault rifles, grenade launchers, and tactical shotguns and ready to take on any threat. For years, the best Resident Evil games have stuck to a formula that sees your character ill-equipped and prepared to take on whatever threat she or he is facing for most of the game. Enemies like these are intimidating to look at but far too easy to dispose ofĪ lot of this stems from the fact that your characters always seem to be equipped to handle any situation. X inspires leaves a far more lasting impression than Nemesis does. Neither one is necessarily better than the other but the anxiety that Mr. X, on the other hand, is a silent stalker who pops up at inopportune moments to beat the crap out of you and can only be temporarily stunned or hidden from and feels like a constant environmental hazard that inspires terror with every appearance. Nemesis is a character who is incredibly loud and bombastic, literally smashing through anything that's in its path and blasting Jill with flamethrowers and rocket launchers in epic scripted events and is often fought in a boss battle. The difference lies in their presentation and execution. Encounters with both enemies are always incredibly tense and force you to rethink your gameplay style and strategies whenever they appear. In both games, you're stalked throughout by an unkillable monster until you get to a certain point and have the equipment to take it on. The thing that highlights the biggest difference between the 2 games is the way they handle Mr. The process is still fun in a different way but it lacks the nerve-racking tension that the previous game had. The survival horror elements are still there for sure and if you're stupid, you will die very quickly but this time, the gameplay seems more interested in letting you mow down your enemies as opposed to slithering past them. Right at the start, Nemesis bursts into Jill's apartment like the Kool-Aid man and begins tearing through buildings and smashing up cars like it's an action film thus setting the tone for the rest of the game. The most notable aspect is that it feels less like a survival horror game and more like an action horror game. Resident Evil 3's biggest issue is that while it's a well-made game, just about every aspect of it can't help but be compared to the superior Resident Evil 2 remake. These varied environments make for a nice change from the intricately-designed police station In order to survive, Jill must navigate her way through Raccoon City and escape with the help of Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service member Carlos Oliveira while a new seemingly indestructible monster known as Nemesis pursues her across the city. Unfortunately for everyone in the city the zombie infection that plagued the mansion has somehow found its way there. After the events at Spencer's Mansion, Jill finds herself still dealing with the trauma as well as the political fallout at Raccoon City PD. Taking place around the time of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 follows the original's protagonist Jill Valentine. Now, Capcom has given us a similar treatment to Resident Evil 3 and while the game is still a good time, it almost feels like the developers were content to jog in place with this one. Capcom would continue to ride that wave of goodwill with last year's Resident Evil 2 which set a new high bar for video game remakes. Since the first game released back in 1996, the franchise has seen high points that helped define entire console generations and low points that would have killed any other franchise such as back in 2012 with the awful Resident Evil 6 that took an entire 5 years to bounce back from with the iconic Resident Evil 7. The Resident Evil series is easily the most recognizable survival horror video game franchise of all time. □ Poor Jill just can't seem to catch a break! │ We here at Video Chums strive to offer the best experience and content so contact us if there is any way that we can improve.
