01Overview

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a survival horror video game and the third installment in the Resident Evil series. Like its two predecessors, it is a third-person action-adventure game with polygonal characters on pre-rendered backgrounds with cinematic camera angles. Although the game uses the same basic engine and gameplay as the previous games, the gameplay is improved by features such as auto-targeting, a 180-degree spin and a new dodge move that allows Jill to avoid enemy attacks. The story picks up just hours before the events of Resident Evil 2, with Jill Valentine caught in Raccoon City, which is crawling with flesh-eating zombies. Nemesis is a pursuer designed by Umbrella to eradicate S.T.A.R.S. members, and he chases Jill relentlessly through the city. At key moments the game offers a choice between two actions, which changes what happens next. The game also includes the Mercenaries mini-game Operation Mad Jackal, where you play as one of three Umbrella soldiers, and Jill has eight possible costumes.
