Resident Evil 3, or 'RE3' as it is known by acronym-savvy fans, is a survival-horror game developed by CAPCOM. (However, the term 'survival horror' can be quite misleading, as there is no mention that while surviving the horror, the player must solve more puzzles than Carol Vorderman could shake a stick at.)
The story revolves around a well endowed protagonist, Jill Valentine, and her quirky adventure through Raccoon City. The main aim of the game is to help Jill find some clothes to help cover herself up, and, if the player so chooses, escape the carnage of a zombie infestation before the city is annihilated.
It inter-relates with the other series of the games, and is set:
- Several weeks after the events of Resident Evil 1. (Or Zero. Or both.)
- 24 hours before and after the events of Resident Evil 2.
- Concurrently between both Resident Evil Outbreak Files #1 and #2.
- 13 days before Resident Evil: Hello Kitty Island Adventure takes place.

[edit] Setting
Raccoon City was a small mid-western US town with a population of over 100,000 people, until it was destroyed by a thermonuclear device in 1998. Its current population stands at 0.
Founded at least 100 years ago by a brigand of travelling super-smart Raccoons, many citizens found life in the small burg quite difficult. For example, to even leave one's house required the combination of several different keys all of which were scattered inconspicuosly in closets and chests, which themselves required keys to be opened. Driving around town was an equally frustrating experience as most main roads tended to be blocked by stacks of burning cars and/or large crates. The Jumping Ban, imposed in 1995, made the navigation of these generic crates especially hard. According to one former resident of the town, visits to the local supermarket required a will of steel. As citizens could only carry 4 - 6 items at a time; Would you like to replace your house key with 1 x tampon? Y/N would've been a difficult choice to make.
However, others would argue that solving puzzles while traversing the city actually improved the average citizen's IQ. This theory has been debunked on the grounds that those people with supposedly high IQs managed to be devoured alive.
The city has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, mainly because everyone is dead.
It was also formerly home to the Umbrella Corporation, the world's largest exporter of umbrellas and nefarious mutagenic viruses.
[edit] Backstory
Jill and RE demi-god Chris Redfield (OMG RE 5!) were part of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, (Special Tactics and Rescue... Services? Liek idk), an elite task force of the Raccoon Police Department.
One fateful night on July 24th, 1998, they are sent to investigate why the S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team's helicopter crashed "mysteriously" in the creepy part of the woods outside of town.
A lulzy adventure ensues in a large mansion where Jill and Chris discover, to their utmost horror, the cliché of zombie films are true! The Umbrella Corporation, using the manufacture of medium sized economy umbrellas as a front, have been developing viral weapons, and OMG it's turned all the scientists into zombies!!1one!11
=O
So anyways, after many protracted battles and a plot that flips and flops like the footwear of the same name, the mansion is blown up and all traces of the viral outbreak (henceforth christened the T-Virus, as it was first discovered in a cup of tea in Maine) are eradicated. Chris and Jill, and various other characters of semi-importance escape, and attempt to warn the world to Umbrella's evil doings.
However, as this is 1998, and Pokémon Red is being launched, no-one can be bothered listening to them. Chris, in desperation, leaves the country to have his own sequel, Resident Evil 5. (Because liek Leon totally got Resident Evil 4.)
Jill decides to remain in Raccoon City, mainly because if she didn't, there wouldn't be a game! Duh. No, srsly, she wants to to uncover the truth as to what went on in the mansion and to give that whiny bitch Claire a run for her money as the lead female character in RE2.
[edit] Plot
The T-Virus has reached the streets of Raccoon City, turning the local people into blood thirsty and/or flesh hungry monsters.
Jill, realising this is a situation a woman just can't handle, decides to get out of town while she still can. Upon meeting fellow S.T.A.R.S officer Brad Vickers in a bar, she is warned of a stalker that is hunting remaining S.T.A.R.S members, and this time it's not just limited to Facebook.
The two split up (because it wouldn't make sense to work together) but manage to meet up again at the local police station, the setting of Resident Evils 2 - 38. The stalker is revealed to be none other than "Nemesis" - a rather cuddly assasin sent by the Umbrella Corporation to silence Jill and the rest of her team. (This is just more evidence that women just dont STFU.) Nemesis skullfucks Brad with a giant tentacle penis coming out of his arm and Jill, doing what only a woman can, runs away.
Taking shelter in the police station, Jill hears a distress call from what sounds like a foreigner. It's only then she realises this really is the apocalypse - when the majority of the white middle classes have been eaten alive and the Hispanics roll in to claim the 'burbs.
Upon finding a lockpick, Jill can finally open that pesky flimsy wooden door that's been blocking her path for 2 hours. After many more hours of sleuthing down alleyways and conveniently placed sewers, Jill rendezvouses with the person who made the distress call, a half cast going by the name of Carlos Oliviera.
However, just when you think she could fucking team up with someone who has an assault rifle, Nemesis arrives. Jill does what she does best and bolts for the door. Honestly, women these days! Luckily, the duo manage to meet again at a nearby tram station, as it turns both have an almighty fetish for mass transit.
The next 36-38 hours of gameplay are spent building a new engine from scratch to get the tram operational*.
When they manage to get the tram going and there's a slight chance they may just be able to escape the RE-verse for good, they realise the brakes don't work. Ooops! After the Tram crashes into St. Michael's Clocktower, Jill gets pwned by Nemesis and is knocked unconcious, infected by the T-Virus. The player must then take control of Carlos, who must save Jill by creating a vaccine in Raccoon Hospital.**
After he administers it to Jill, she comes to, and both of them proceed to kick Nemesis' ass in the final showdown. Carlos radios for help, and none other than Barry Burton, a character from RE1 (infamous for his want of a Jill Sandwich) arrives in a helicopter to save the day.
They lift off just in time to see Raccoon City pwned by the US government's Thermonuclear Missile, destroying all evidence of the T-Virus and a race of super-raccoons, which were rumoured to live in the sewers of the city.
The closing cutscene shows Carlos acquiring his VISA.
Note 1: This section requires the player to have a degree in engineering
Note 2: This section requires a degree in biochemistry/pharmacy and/or medicine.
[edit] Characters
- Jill Valentine - Protaganist for both RE1 and RE3. In S.T.A.R.S, she is in charge of the 'rear'. (Sexual conotations of course.) The game could've been completed twice as fast if it weren't for her womanly-ness. She goes by the motto, "A good woman knows her place."
- Carlos Oliveira - Introduced into the game to rectify the testosterone imbalance. A member U.B.C.S, Umbrella's private army. He handles heavy weapons and only usefull for pushing bells in clocktowers. (Yes... you read that right.) Orginally from South America, he is currently applying for a VISA to gain legal entry to the United States.
- Nicholai Ginovaef - Also a member of U.B.C.S, sent to collect information on the outbreak by Umbrella. Imported from Russia, he loves long walks on the beach and orienteering.
- Mikhail Victor - Obese U.B.C.S member, also from Russia.
- Brad Vickers - Nicknamed "Chickenheart" after the events of Resident Evil 1, he was a fellow S.T.A.R.S member who found himself on the wrong end of Nemesis' almighty tentacle rape.
- Dario Rosso - A fat, stubborn civilian of Raccoon City who, rather stupidly, refused to escape with Jill. Rumoured to have Type 5 Diabetes.
[edit] Gameplay
In brief:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpQBqPvkr2o No Longer Availible.
Pretty much all you do in the whole game is run about in faggot camera angles looking for typewriters (HAVE THEY NOT HERD OF INTERNETS YET?!) and try to shoot zombies niggers in the crotch. This makes the game very hurd: You can't aim for shit because the controls suck like 7chan users on their own penises.
[edit] Trivia
- The men almost always have more health than the woman playable characters in the games. Just like IRL!
- Raccoon City was famous for its esteemed writers. The city had the highest typewriter : person ratio of any metropolitan area on the planet.
- Raccoon City's football team were called the Raccoon Sharks ... because it wouldn't make sense to call them the Raccoon Raccoons.
- A brand of soda found in vending machines in the city are called 'Juicy Raccoon' - delicious.
