Resident Evil 3: Nemesis: Raccoon City
built 152 days ago
Resident Evil: Apocalypse The sequel to Resident Evil – in which a group of scientists and special forces get trapped in a giant underground facility overrun with zombies and mutants – is pretty much what you'd expect. After being captured by the Umbrella Corporation at the end of the first film, almost-sole-survivor Milla Jovovich (the only supermodel in the world who you can take seriously as an action heroine) wakes up in an abandoned laboratory in Raccoon City to find that the zombie-animating "t-virus" has spread to the surface. Half the city are already zombified and killing the other half, and Umbrella Corporation has sealed off the city limits and is planning to "sanitise" the area. Hooking up with a rag-tag group of survivors, Jovovich makes a deal with a rogue Umbrella scientist who promises to get them out of town as long as they rescue his missing daughter who's hiding somewhere in the ruins. Meanwhile Umbrella has its own plans for the lovely Miss Milla, involving a seven-foot armour-clad mutant called the Nemesis who's using the infested city as a training ground. Much shooting/fighting/exploding ensues, and - just like in the first film - the mysterious cliffhanger ending leaves things wide open for another sequel.

Graphically, Resident Evil 3 proves that even though buildings are creepier, the great outdoors can look sharp. The pre-rendered backgrounds feature some serious detail this time around. This is saying a lot considering that each individual street is given it's own identity. Before the walls would all have the same pattern because it was the same building. Everything looks terrific and you really get a feel that this is an abandoned city just waiting to blow. Characters are fairly detailed as well.
Resident Evil 3 takes place in various parts of Raccoon City, including the original Police Station from Resident Evil 2. The main difference is that here you can now see the after effects of the town folks desperate attempts to keep the zombies out as several key locations are now 'boarded up'.
