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.

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