Resident Evil 3: Nemesis…...

Resident Evil….. Running out of ideas already???…...
The graphics….. Are nice for the PS1….. They are still doing a great job with the prerendered backgrounds….. And it has really nice detail……
The human and enemy models are again very well done and look really nice….. Nemesis himself does look really nice and intimidating……. And thats where the praise for Nemesis ends…...
The sounds……. Nemesis sounds like shite……. Every time he is defeated by Jill….. He says “S.T.A.R.S.” its a really goofy cartoonish way……. Totally killed any thought of him being a serious hardcore threat to Jill……
The rest of the sounds are…… fine….. Voice acting is again good and the music is rather nice…… Nothing special….. Just very passable…….
The controls……... Tank controls….. Need I say more???…….
The storyline....… Jill Valentine makes her return to the series…….. And she is a complete moron now…… Wearing lose fitting clothes that are easier for the zombies to grab……. Not carrying her lockpick at all times……. Doesnt know the layout of the RPD building…… A building she works in……. Has complete trust in Carlos the Umbrella mercenary straight away…… Without question…..
The main storyline is that Jill needs to escape Raccoon while the Super T-virus infected “Nemesis” stalks her and tries to kill her repeatedly…...
Can Jill survive??…… Or will Nemesis grab her lose fitting clothing as she tries to find a key for a simple lock she cant unlock because she left her lockpick in the S.T.A.R.S. Office in a building she doesnt know the layout off even though she works there and goes to the S.T.A.R.S. Office all the time……..
The gameplay…… Same as the other RE games…… Its not bad at all and quite good….. But the level layouts are are very maze like…… And its very easy to get lost I found…….
Overall…… Much weaker than the first two games in the series…… Jill is turned into a complete moron who doesnt even know the basic layout of the building she works in…….. While completely trusting Umbrella goons without question…….. And doesnt carry a lockpick with her at all times even after the Spencer Mansion incident.......
This is not the Jill Valentine that survived the Spencer Mansion incident……...
And that is why my final score for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is a Jill Sandwich out of 10……...

First up is Doodle World Deluxe (Proton), which is an emulator-wrapped modern indie NES game* made by a dad, his daughter, and a chiptune composer. Well, it's technically two emulator-wrapped modern indie NES games - the original Doodle World, and the tweaked Doodle World Redrawn, which is the version that I'm playing.
The game depicts a world within a notebook (with a lined background and spiral-binding on the status-bar), and sees protagonist Doodle (a cute creature obviously drawn by a child - more info on that here ), setting out to retrieve the magical crayon (which was used to create his world), which was stolen by the evil King Eraser and his villainous crew of office-supplies. I love this idea of the creative fighting against the mundane, especially when they've all got so much in common to begin with.
The game has a lovely crayon-drawing art-style, which is even reflected in the default border for the game being a desk with even more drawings on it, which is a super-cool touch. Aside from that, it has the standard features that the Nami Tentou-published emulator-wrapped NES games all have (art viewer and soundtrack player from the main menu, and graphics-settings and save/load state slots which you can press L & R to access whilst actually in-game), and that's all that it really needs to have. It works great on the Steam Deck, as they all do. Super-charming is the term that I would use to describe the whole thing, and that's exactly what I wanted out of it.

Second up is Super Bomberman R 2 (Proton), which has spilled over from last weekend because I didn't end up having very much gaming-time then or throughout the week, and also partly because R 2 is quite a bit longer than R 1 due to each area in R 2's maps being a lot bigger than the individual stages in R 1.
It's clear from how the battle-mode is still inflicted with dumb-as-a-stump AIs six months on, that the single-player story-mode is the game's focus (R 1's battle-mode has less features and modes, but the much-better AIs mean that it's still the more enjoyable of the two right now - I'm still hoping for R 2 to get an update to bring the AIs up to par with R 1's), and I still absolutely bloody love it. It really is a great twist on the series and has gotten some incredibly unfair flack.
There seem to be no signs on SteamDB of further patches being in testing right now, so I'm hopeful that the next update will be a big one released on the game's first anniversary and be along the lines of the final update for the first Super Bomberman R, which added a new world to the story-mode and a new mode to the battle-mode. If R 2's going to get similar treatment, I'm already looking forward to it.
