We’ll put it this way: there’s a reason why the original Resident Evil 2 is widely regarded as the best game in the series, and why Resi 3 is often seen as the least popular sibling in the original trilogy. Resident Evil 3’s story is fine, but its supporting characters are just okay, and nowhere near as memorable as Resi 2’s Ada Wong. The story, while pretty standalone for the most part, is also somewhat contingent on you having played the first game and also having a decent understanding of the consequences of those events. Nikolai is an incredibly bland and boring villain he was forgettable in the original game, and nothing really changes in the remake either. However, that’s about as good as it gets. Jill and Carlos have great chemistry in RE3, and watching their flirty interactions is also hilarious and fun. This time, the story centers around her escape from her story and Nemesis, who chases her relentlessly throughout the entire game.Īside from just escaping, though, Jill also finds herself caught up with some Umbrella soldiers, including the charming Carlos and the nefarious Nikolai.

Resident Evil 3 puts us in the shoes of series icon Jill Valentine, and we also get to revisit Raccoon City. Our heroes are so easy to root for, you can’t help but be gripped every step of the way. The way the Resident Evil 2 story slowly unravels from the police station to the sewers and orphanage, to the NEST lab, is utterly compelling. We’ve got Annette and William Birkin who were nothing more than caricature villains in the original game, and they’re actual compelling characters in the Resident Evil 2 remake. She’s kind and caring, and also a total badass when it comes to zombie-slaying.Īside from these two, we’ve also got Sherry and Ada as capable support characters who have become so much better developed and well fleshed out since their PS1 days.

It certainly helps that he’s always full of quippy one-liners and witty snap backs as well.Ĭlaire is the responsible, nurturing figure who can’t help but feel protective over the people around her who need help, and that’s made evident through her interactions with Sherry. Leon might feel a little two-dimensional as the goody two-shoes cop, but his unrelenting earnestness and desire to do right by everyone is endearing. Both characters are immediately charming and charismatic as soon as you lay eyes on them and get to know them better throughout the course of the story. Resident Evil 2 centers around Leon, the rookie cop who runs headfirst into a zombie apocalypse his first day on the job, and Claire the ridiculously capable college student who comes to Raccoon City in search of her brother.
