Super Jill vs Nemesis

RE3: Nemesis is...a technical follow up to 2. I say this because in RE timeline terms, both 2 and 3 take place at the same time. Reference other sites for further info. Anyway, you control Jill from RE1/REmake. The glaring difference between 2 and 3 immediately: bigger environment. This one takes place in the streets of Raccoon City, but you will still venture into buildings. The zombies we all love are still there, but now everything you fought in 1 and 2 (with the exception of G - Birkin, G - babies, G - Adult from 2) is thrown into the mix.
You're probably wondering why I called Jill "Super Jill": this is because Capcom gave Jill new abilities and features to assist her in her survival. The most useful is the DODGE ability. Yes, you can now dodge enemies and preserve your ever - so important health (you could still just run around them). Weapon usage can be exploited when dodging, you'll see. You won't be a master at first, but you get it eventually. A helpful feature added is the Reloading Tool, which creates ammo for you.
Quick story layout: Umbrella "somehow" lets the T - Virus break out, making everyone in the town zombies. They send in their private army, who are eliminated except for a few. Jill has to escape the city, which means overcoming impossible odds.
Gameplay: Even with the dodge ability, the game is still RE. Ammo is still precious, so use it wisely. But not every room is safe, because the antagonist Nemesis (the star of the game, also a Tyrant) is hot on your tail. Oh, and he will chase after you even if you go into a different room.
Graphics: It's a PS1 port, don't have high expectations.
Replay value: Medium to high, to try and beat the game quicker than you did the last time.
