    If you have the attention span of, say, George W. Bush you're not going to much out of Ogre Battle 64. Now go away.

    Ogre Battle 64 offers a detailed branching story and great depth of customization, both executed brilliantly within the limitations of a 35-meg cartridge.

    Overall this game is easily the best RPG on the Nintendo 64. It lives up to the greatness of the original and actually surpasses it.

    Once you've got used to the way things work, thanks to the comprehensive training mode, you'll find the combat is far more satisfying than anything other more commercial RPGs have to offer.

    Best of all, the enemy's AI is fairly ruthless and will put up a good fight.

    This game is my all time favorite. I have never had so much fun with a game. The game can be a little slow but everything about this game contributes to its feel. I wish this game would be ported to a newer system because the combat and art are unique and work perfectly. The combat can be complex and is strategic. The music cannot be ignored because the tunes are still lodged in my brain from when I last played.... I am not a great reviewer but the best thing I can say is that this is my favorite game of all time. 9.9 userscore...the people that played this game loved it enough to find it on metacritic and give it a positive review..… Full Review »
