Well, this is different.

It seems disguised storybook characters invade our lives, all kept under control by their particular sheriff, the Big Bad Wolf. Of course, these characters don't like to tow the line and Wolfie must deal out huff-puffy justice to maintain the big secret.

Based on a comic, TWAU looks like it's been ripped straight from the page and plastered on the telly.

It's a beautiful, highly stylised piece pumped with decision-making consequences.

If you get too rough with your subjects, they may not be so helpful next time you need them. But hell, what's a wolf to do? His middle name is 'Bad', for pig's sake.

It's a dark, rain-spattered world stuffed with violence - a little reminiscent of Sin City - where every action will apparently come back and bite you in the wolf backside.

Even while grappling with your fable foes, you've got a vast array of inventive ways to choose how to kick his bum.

Brooding, atmospheric rough-housing of a high calibre.
