The Elder Scrolls: Shadowkey (N-Gage)

from: Nokia

November 04, 2004
This is a totally new Elder Scrolls game plotwise but gameplay is pretty much like the PC original (which is an achievement in itself for a portable console). There aren't clans in it but the levels are huge and freeform, and everything takes place in full 3D.

The graphics are a bit inconsistent, occasionally slowing to a crawl, but the game itself isn't the kind that's spoilt irreparably by slowdown and once you get into it it's pretty rewarding. The n-gage is capable of better graphics than this (see Colin Mcrae for example) but it's good enough, and hopefully they'll do a better job on Shadowkey 2.

It feels like Elder Scrolls which is the important thing, for me anyway.
