I think the peak for tank control Resident Evil is Outbreak Files 1 and 2, personally. But I played them on the obsrv.org fan server with three friends in a voice chat, not with bots and strangers with no mic like people did when the games were new.
Otherwise I like RE2 more than 3. RE3 wasn't even intended to be a mainline entry. It started as a low-budget, un-numbered spin-off project called Biohazard 1.9 with an inexperienced dev team (and I think it shows IMO) and then they pivoted 3 months before launch adding in Jill. Why is apparently scheduling pressure from the PS2 getting announced, idk.
