GAMEPLAY TACTICS (AND EXPLOITS!)

DODGING AND PARRYING

New in Resident Evil 3 is an improved control system that includes the ability to dodge nearly every attack in the game. While it is theoretically possible to do this, the method that they give you in the manual doesn't always work. I found that by just mashing on the d-pad (while pressing the weapon button) you'll get some impressive results. Sometimes you'll parry the attack, and sometimes you'll get eaten - Both are fun.

EXPLOSIVE USAGE

Most of the time, explosive boxes are placed near large groups of enemies (making it easy for you to take them out with a single shot). The explosives WILL KILL YOU if you get too close after blasting them, so be extra cautious when you see these laying around. It's advisable to shoot the ones that are just sitting there so you won't accidentally hit one in the middle of a heated battle.


CONSERVE YOUR AMMO

If any of you gamers remember the original Resident Evil, the first thing that should pop into your mind is that ammumition wasn't exactly easy to come by. In the second game, ammo was much more abundant. In Nemesis, ammunition management is the last thing you should worry about. With the overwhelming amount of available gun powder, even gamers who make plenty of mistakes will have rounds of ammo left at the end of the game.


SUBQUENTIAL SAVING

Unlike previous RE games, Nemesis offers many points where you need to make key decisions that influence the rest of the events in the game. Most of the time, these will pop up with little or no warning, so the best technique is to save OFTEN. If you use even just a little bit of common sense, you'll be fine with Ink Ribbons (they put them all over). Of course, if you're going for a high ranking, you may want to ignore this tip.
