Advantages: Beautiful graphics, sensational storyline, terrific characters, bursting with originality.

Disadvantages: Has to finish sometime.

How many games since Ocarina of Time have come close to being as involving and exciting as the Zelda epic? I could count the number of titles on one hand. One finger. Okami is that game.

What's truly awful is that this beautiful and imaginative game has been overlooked not once, but twice by the gaming community on PS2 and now Wii, selling a few hundred thousand copies each time. There is so much to love about the game from the stories to the characters to the dungeons. Almost everything is perfect. A few wobbles with the Wiimote brush strokes could probably have been worked out with a little more development, but it is a minor gripe with what is a truly sublime gaming experience.

If you think the Wii is all out of good games because Nintendo just has Animal Crossing coming up this Christmas, start looking in Capcom's direction. With RE4, Zack and Wiki and Okami you have three stunning titles to add to your collection.

Summary: After the slightly disappointing Twilight Princess Capcom shows how wolves can rule the gaming roost
