Manufacturer's Description
In the fantasy empire of Tamriel, Shadowmage Skelos Undriel is on the run and hotly pursued by agents of Battlemage Jagar Tharn. Driven from the heart of the empire, Undriel flees to the Western Reach to find refuge -- and instead finds himself in the middle of The War of the Bend'r-mahk, a fierce conflict between the regions of High Rock, Hammerfell, and Skyrim. Undriel hides himself in the chaos enveloping the region of Dragonstar, where he hatches a desperate plan: collect the Shadowkeys -- magical objects strewn about the area -- and gather enough strength to overcome Tharn's agents, then face the terrifying shadow power of the Umbra' Keth.
Your village has safely remained just out of reach of The War of the Bend'r-mahk, but now danger strikes from another direction. You must save your village from marauders who are but pawns in the struggle to capture Shadowmage Skelos Undriel, who himself is but one more piece in a darker and more sinister game. You'll journey through rugged terrain, despoiled temples, bandit lairs, and murderous caverns. You'll fight many foes in your search for the power of the Shadowkeys and the Star Teeth, and your journey will lead you to the ultimate test, deep in the Crypt of the Heart.

Jerky graphics but good gameplay
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.
