this is one of the best games i've played. at first i thought it looked stupid but i played it and couldn't stop. i would give it 25 stars but 5 is the limit.the creatures are very cool. the one thing that is bad is that the people are slow but that doesn't change that this is an awesome game. so stop reading this and buy it, your'e wasting plenty of battle time.

The Best (Only) True RPG for the N64

This game is very easy to play and hard to master. Newcomers to RPG's will not be frightened by the easy interface and can easily get into the story. Advanced gamers will be kept amused for hours trying to figure out how to get some of the special character classes and all of the special characters that can join you along your way.
Overall with great graphics, a deep appealling story with many twists, realistic characters and situations, a multitude of characters, and many levels, Ogre Battle 64 is one of the best games for the N64.

A neccessity for Stratagy RPG players

This is Chapter 6 in the ogre battle series. The game has a well thought out story line that takes you through Magnus Gallant's adventures. The thing is that you are Magnus Gallant and in the game you have many choices to make that deside you ending in small different ways. Also during the game you can get many special characters that will join you if you are good or evil depending on who they are. Also the choices you make effect which characters join you and which don't.

I liked this game because it uses a good battle system and has a great story line in fact of the best if seen on a Nintendo 64 game. The game takes quite a while to beat but when you reach the end it is defenatly worth it. Also since thier are 3 different endings you just have to play it again and again to get the other endings.

Awesome Game, Hands Down!

If Nintendo would remake this game for GameCube, I would be in Heaven. But until then, I will continue to play this epic saga on N64. I have played this game (to the finish) 4 different times. Each time it gets even beter. I get to have new characters who join me, and different outcomes ensue. If you want a game where you lead an army of awesome characters, then this here game is for you.

Your main character is Magnus Gallant, a young rookie assigned to lead more rookies, on missions to liberate the Kingdom of Palatanius. On his journey, Magnus sides with the rebels, leaves the kings army and joins the revolutionary army. Thus your mission begins.

Did I read something about old school graphics? Who cares? You tend to overlook something so minor, because this game will keep you in awe. There must be some comprise when you have a game this large coming from an old school cartridge. Where this game lacks in graphics, it more than makes up for it in storyline and game play. And in the end, is that not what its all about?

You have the ability of leading many teams and different fighters. I recommend that you keep your teams to a minimum. You can have up to 5 characters fighting on a team, so I would totally utilize that. You can and WILL change your character classes, and I would implore you to train your teams between and before starting new missions, so that they are always strong. The higher the levels of your characters, the more classes you have to choose from. Plus, the lesser amount of teams you have, means the more they will be fighting and the more experienced and stronger they become.

I would also suggest, turning most of your female classes to sorceress' or sirens, and your males as fighters. Females tend to take more damage and die easily, unless you put them in the back. From the back those sorceress' can become mighty powerful, they are actually my favorite characters.

Try to match the characters alignments with the appropriate classes. Alignment is Key in this game. If you need Low alignment Characters, train them, up their level and have them fight High alignment enemies, and if you need High Alignment characters, have them fight teams with higher level and Low alignment. When you go into battle you will need to analyze your teams, and your enemies teams, their fatigue and levels. Do not hesitate to retreat if you need to, try to never have a character die.

This game is very long, it requires alot of strategy and thinking. There are many sidequests that you must do to get special items, to turn your characters into special classes. Always check out Hugos Reports and his events, there is always valuble information there. DO NOT even think twice about buying this game. It is actually my favorite game out of all the new systems out there. It does not get any better than this.

Ok, Ive never been a fan of ogre battle. That started as soon as i rented ogre battle for playstation at blockbuster. All it was was moving blue dots around on a screen and fighting battles. no story or nothing. and the menus. o my god. but i bought an n64 about a month ago and despratly needed an rpg. so i reluctantly picked this one up. boy am i happy. its so much more user freindly than the aweful one for playstation. not to mension it has an awsome story. and the characters are so much more detailed. if you own an n64 and are even the slightest bit interested in rpgs then get this game as soon as possable.

It's awesome!

The graphics are sweet and the storyline is kickbutt! This is one of the best games of all time!

Not a game for children or younger teens.

This game was a real disappointment to me. The game contains a lot of profanity that frankly I would not like my children to learn. There is a warning on the box about mild language, however the language is worse than "mild" and it is used very frequently, within the first few minutes of game play on. The profanity is completely not needed and is way out of place in the game. Aside from this major complaint the game could be fun, though the game still remains somewhat tedious and dull.

It's tight ,but real long

This game is one of the coolest games I've ever played.The storyline was amazing.It was a great idea to put you(the player)in command of an entire battalion.There is just one problem about this game.It was TOO LONG.Imean after awhile it just got boring the way the story tended to drag on and on.Overall the game was cool and is a must buy for gamers.

*Tip-Don't rely on one or two units to win the game for you,keep all your units at almost the same level,use them all in battles and in training.

The supreme strategy game

Being a fan of the original, I was very happy when the N64 version not only lived up to the previous game, but exceeded it. It should be noted that this is a strategy game, not an RPG. It would be best to consider this a military sim, with a fantasy twist. The Ogre Battle series really is in a whole different genre than any other game, thus, it is tough to categorize. It is also long: talking within the range of 70 hours, because, especially at the beginning, the battles take awhile to be fought to completion. However, the story moves along well thoughout the entire game, unlike in other strategy games, where it vanishes at the end (Final Fantasy Tactics). Each and every memeber of your army can be configured and upgraded, and attention to detail is a must. But, if you're interested in a game that has little in common with contemporary RPG's, and you have the time, this game will do you good.

Best 64 game ever

This game has a well defined story, easy yet in depth game play, and menus, and is really just overall cool. Many endings keep people playing for month. I played it 25 times, just because of it's variation!
