Gameplay

Gameplay is handled with the numeric touchpad on the right side of the N-Gage as well as the normal game action keys. Additionally, this game allowed (via Bluetooth) 1-4 player co-operative gameplay. The player or players could create or use characters from the Argonian, Breton, Dark Elf, High Elf, Khajiit, Imperial, Nord, Redguard, and Wood Elf races in game (These are the names used in the game manual itself). The classes available are Assassin, Barbarian, Battlemage, Knight, Nightblade, Rogue, Spellsword, Sorcerer, and Thief.

Reception

The reviews it received were mostly mediocre. Notable concerns from reviewers included a weak draw distance, constant pop up due to the draw distance, overall graphical quality, and clumsy combat. Still, reviewers generally praised the game for its large world, great sound and the large amount of content.
