There\'s nothing wrong with Resident Evil 3.. I thought it got an undeserved Rep. It\'s atmosphere was much better than RE2.. And was slightly more difficult IIRC. It was just the same old thing. And without the really cool idea of "Play through what Leon did during this time period/play through what Claire did during this time period", which to me was always the most interesting aspect of RE2.. why they removed it I\'ll never know..
RE4 was kind of odd. They hyped it up as being so different from the rest of the series, and in some ways it is, and others it isn\'t. Essentially it\'s the previous Resident Evil games with a non-fixed camera, and more action and shooting than you thought they could possibly cram into an action game. The biggest problem is that there is no level of suspense, due to having access to so much ammunition it\'s ridiculous.
Judging it off one play probably isn\'t fair LICky, as you\'d be comparing it to previous RE games, which it might not fully resemble. But I can assure you there are some definate high points in the game. Still might not be your thing, but, whatever..
