Resident Evil is all about the rankings! Most players will nab a pretty average ranking on their first run but half the fun is in trying to perfect your technique in order to get a better ranking.
Resident Evil 3 works a little bit differently, in that ranks don’t determine what rewards you get, but they do give you points that let you buy unlockables in the game’s secrets shop.
Each difficulty level has different requirements – so they’re all listed here by difficulty to give you an idea of what you need to shoot for to get the best rank.
Note that all times appear in H:MM:SS format. So 2:30:00 means two hours and thirty minutes.
