While a fantastic and mostly faithful remake, Resident evil 3 suffers from having too short of a campaign that runs at about 5 hours long and while I understand it's a remake of a PS1 game, to have someone pay $60 for a brand new game and be able to finish it in the same day is a little bit ridiculous in todays day and age. Nemesis himself, who in the original could show up at any time while the player wasn't expecting it, in this one he has only scripted sections that he appears in and little else. He's supposed to be a more powerful version of Mr. X from the Resident evil 2 remake but he's less threatening and easier to get away from as long as you know where you need to go next. While the second remake had the player confined to the location (Like the RPD station) this game is supposed to be able to travel all over Raccoon city but yet still feels more linear than the previous entry. Not to imply that it should feel like an open world game, but a little more open than it was. Those criticisms aside, I still quite enjoy this game and have played through it a few times since it came out and am still not tired of it. I just hope that if Capcom so chooses to do another REmake that they don't make the same mistakes that they made with this one.
