Resident Evil 3: Nemesis will haunt you.
Resident Evil has evolved fast. From the old school style = 3rd person with fixed camera angles to the 3rd person over the shoulder view. Now only did it change the view it changed gameplay.
Anyways, back to the game. The game is very atmospheric. Everything is in chaos, from the streets and the rooms. The atmosphere has an effect of "Something is lurking in the dark."
This game is a survival horror game. Not a lot of weapon choices, isolated ammunition and herbs (health packs in the game).
This will question you "should I use this now or later?"
Saving in-game is very important. In some cases you can be doing very well and the next second you're almost dying. you have to be careful in this game.
Mercenaries is a cool feature. Run through the game in a faster route with different characters and each character has different weapons and items to use. Finishing the fastest is your goal.
I've played this game for nearly 4 or so years. The replay value is pretty magnificent as well.
