I have been playing this series since I was a kid. In fact Resident Evil 3 was my first game in the series.

I think the tank style games are the best ones, but I know they can be hard to get into. I think a lot of people might choose the RE1 remaster or RE2 as it is talked about so highly as their first game.

But, Resident Evil 3 on easy mode is what I recommend as the starter game so people can get used to the gameplay style.

The game has so much ammo. I basically used just the standard gun and shotgun the entire time. I did not even need to use the gunpowder system to make more ammo.

The game is also pretty short, so it is easy to get through. Once you finish playing this game, I recommend going to RE2 then 1. It is your decision to play the original vs remake.

I typically do not play the easy mode, but I really enjoyed RE3 easy as I could experience the game without any stress. Maybe it's that I am older now. I never tried RE1 directors cut on easy, I will give that a go right after code veronica.
