I'm playing Resident Evil 4: HD. Using a an HDMI cable it looks great. The graphics have aged a little bit but everything is a little clearer and the resolution is very uhh...crisp. My only gripe with the graphics update is that the brightness seems a little high by default (I vaguely remember RE4 on the GameCube letting you adjust the brightness upon starting a new game), but that can be easily fixed through the options. It plays completely the same. Only difference being the PS3 controller is set up minutely differently than a WiiMote or GCN.

Unfortunately the sound has suffered a LOT in the port from Wii to PS3/360. A lot of the sounds are needlessly gritty and hollow. Like some small man just off screen is using a boombox full of sound effects to give help with the atmosphere. Some small hairy man.
It doesn't adversely effect anything, just takes you a little out of the atmosphere.

Also, the square button on my controller sticks so all the parts where you have to button mash to ESCAPE THE BOULDER take like 3 tries.

Worth buying, obviously. Comes with all of the addons from the previous releases of RE4 so it's worth your time.
