10/10 if Resident Evil 3 Remake were not a Resident Evil game. As a Resident Evil game within the broader series, 7/10. What's good about it is good, but what's lacking is lacking.

Resident Evil 3 brings a refreshing feel to the classic by implementing immersive music, remarkable graphics, and a fantastic story along with an updated combat system that does a great job of leaving you wanting some more Resident Evil action.

Capcom, sorry to say, was wrong in creating this game, which seems rushed and flat. It has its merits, yes, but it also has many flaws that will disappoint everyone a bit: the old fans and the new, because it's not a remake worthy of the name but even as a game in its own right is not so good.

Again we find the tuning of a classic, but that comes with many more news. Graphically it is spectacular, and its plot fits better with its previous installment. It's somewhat shorter and less replayable than Leon and Claire's adventure and doesn't feature Mercenaries mode, but the multiplayer Resistance is entertaining too.

As a rental and a possible £25/£30 title, Resi 3 is well worth your time and although limited in scope, is an enjoyable enough experience to blast through. It’s not perfect but much like Nemesis itself, the Resident Evil 3 remake wants you to beat it again and again and again. After a while though, this becomes tiresome and it’s unlikely you’ll return to this one in a hurry when you’re done with it.

This is a must-buy for Resident Evil fans – a great game, but a short game. The online component adds some value and it’s ideal if you’re a fan of speedrunning. If you’re new to the series, it might be better to wait for a sale.

Even though it’s definitely a different experience from RE2, Resident Evil 3 feels like a healthy mix of old and new. While it shifts focus from horror to action, it still delivers a short but sweet experience.

Resident Evil 3 is more of a re-imagining than a remake. Orthodox fans of the original might not be happy, but on the other hand, at least you don't know what to expect from Nemesis. There's no denying the fact that compared to Resident Evil 2. this game is more action packed, linear and shorter. If you don't mind that, there's plenty of fun to be had in Raccoon City

Coming off the massive success of Resident Evil 2 2019 Capcom decided to remake another classic title, Resident Evil 3. Remaining loyal to the canon lore this revisiting of Jill Valentine's nightmare through Raccoon City provides all the iconic moments from the original. As the deadly mutated beast Nemesis hunts the S.T.A.R.S. agent through the night, killing anyone who gets in its way. Despite the campaign providing an outstanding survival-horror campaign the brief experience is over just as quickly. With little alternative options to entice players to keep playing the single-player. The multiplayer does a decent job of offering a decent 1v4 competitive option. Despite the shortcomings, Resident Evil 3 2020 provides a short quality adventure as you attempt to survive the infected streets of Raccoon City.

Resident Evil 3 is exactly the remake that fans have come to expect after last year's release and deserves nothing less than the damaged franchise. A staged masterstroke is coupled with a graphic splendour, which completely plays into the cards with the creepy atmosphere and the action-packed background story. Capcom playfully manages the demanding balancing act between a fast-paced action bombast and a filigree survival horror shooter with bravura. Only the compressed playing time and its retired replay value are more seriously detrimental to the remake. The asymmetric multiplayer mode Resistance serves even in this respect only as a nice bonus, with which Capcom at least benevolently tries to overcome this point of criticism. Nevertheless, the Japanese publisher seems to have understood in recent years what the franchise is all about in its essential core and finally leads the Resident Evil brand back to the gruesome genre throne with a newly discovered self-esteem after a long period of discovery. Resident Evil 3 is no less a successful remake of the 1999 original, which legitimizes Capcom's remake policy throughout.

A mirror of the original with a refreshing look and some surprises under its sleeve, that works as an excellent expansion of its predecessor.

Although Resident Evil 3 Remake is a remarkable game, it is overshadowed by the second game that has had great success last year. The Multiplayer mode Resistance, on the other hand, is unable to deliver exactly what is desired due to its unbalanced gameplay and repetitive nature.

As a continuation of what Capcom achieved last year, it’s disappointing. I won’t be crass and snidely call it “Resident Evil 2.5”, because it is its own game. It’s just that the content outside of the campaign is so lacking that as much as I hate to, I can only compare it to The Order 1886. In terms of comparison, it’s a spectacle game that has you follow a predetermined path. The omission of the multiple choice/live selection system forces you to take the path laid out for you, often whizzing by as an almost cutscene-like delivery of gameplay.

With the remake of Resident Evil 3, Capcom is taking a daring step, because this is rather a reinterpretation of the classic. Unfortunately, the very strong staging and the very intense first player experience do not hide the small size and the wasted potential.

Resident Evil 3 is the video game equivalent of Die Hard. It has great characters, a simple yet effective story, a terrifying villain, astounding action, and it’s a great time. Also like a movie, the remake of Resident Evil 3 struggles under the weight of what came before it.

Resident Evil 3 Remake is a good and enjoyable game with high repetition value that with its great design and engaging gameplay, can keep players entertained for hours. But the lack of balance between the horror-surviving and action-packed parts makes the game overly focused on providing a cinematic action experience. In the end, Resident Evil 3 is a good game, not a classic Resident Evil that most fans want.

There is a spark and ferocity in Resident Evil 3 that we haven't felt from the previous remakes. We loved every inch of RE3.

No matter how you look at it, Resident Evil 3 is a stark fall from grace for Capcom. With the developer firing on all cylinders ever since the return-to-form release of Resident Evil 7, this is the company’s first blunder in years.

Resident Evil 3 Remake is less Resident Evil 3, and more of its own being. A great game, but lacks what made the original amazing.

The Resident Evil 3 Remake is a fantastic and consistently-tense horror game that takes an already brilliant game and updates it to be even better in a few departments.
