Compared to RE2, RE3 substitutes the puzzles for more shooting & action. I don't think this was a good idea considering how clunky and awkward the movement is. The rolling feature is nice, but is kind of inconsistent.

The biggest flaw with RE3 is Nemesis. It is such a horrible boss. You fight it like 10 times thorough out the game. Dude's practically invincible yet it can't seem to kill you. At one point, it picks up a rocket launcher and shoots it at you, but the rocket's have a blast radius the size of a frozen pizza at the supermarket. Tyrant in RE2 was scary & you always had to work around him. Every time Nemesis showed up, I was annoyed.

Jill is pretty and badass, but doesn't stand out as much as Leon, Ada or even Claire for that matter. Carlos is forgettable & Nicholai is such a nonsensical villain. His motives make no sense. I genuinely would have enjoyed the game more if he never existed.

Overall, I still had fun with RE3. It's an above-average game, but not good enough. This game feels like such a shadow of RE2. I do appreciate not having to do 6 or so playthroughs for the platinum.
