Where do I begin...? In the beginning of this game it had so much potential. I was really thinking that since the graphics were pathetic that the story would have to go on forever, which I had no problem with, I LIKE long games. Then I came to a point where the screen slowly spelled out "Final Chapter". I freaked out initially because I thought this was the end, I spent ... for this wasted entertainment. Then I thought "hmm, maybe it is just the final chapter of the PREFACE", which would mean that the actual "ogre battle" has yet to begin (which would have been great), and the entire time I have been playing was designed to be the events that unfolded to ensure that I understood that the battle that will betaking place was a direct result of my failure to be everywhere at once. I thought maybe all that I have done was only done to ensure I understatnd the orgin of the real part of game once I got that far. I thought that at some point all of my "soldiers" and charecters (except the main ones) were going to become ogres and then the real fun could begin... Well, at least I was thinking. The ending came right after that chapter and I hated it. I felt like sueing the guys who programmed it, but couldn't because I didn't have a case. It was so irritating to come that far and just be let down like that. The most difficult obsticals in that game are learning to play it (translating the vauge instuction booklet), and the patience it takes to go everywhere nine times before giving up on little "side quest" (In my case I never use "stradegy guides" like nintendo power, so this alleged "bolt of silk" and that damn "annihilation" spell book will always be a mystery, along with about anything else that I haven't even heard of yet). I am currently working on my third time playing. So far the endings aren't much, there had better be about 60 of them or I will consider this a one star. Hmmm... Maybe I should have played the snes one, who knows, this is just my opinion.

ONE OF THE BEST STRATEGY GAMES EVER

This is one of the best games for the N64. In the beginning you are able to choose what your character will specilize in in the begginning. All in all, the only downer is the acasional use of strong language. It is an in depth game that only a person with a long attention span should try to tacle. With tons of different endings and the ability to train your army. This is a must have for any gamer.

I know that few people will even agree with me on this...

I think that this game is far too overrated. I was expecting an RPG, but what I got was a half-backward strategy. I can easily say this is the worse game for N64, rather out of all my gaming years, which is about 13.

This game did not cut it. RPG, role paying game. I expected a ton of dialogue, well written, with towns to enter and walk through, character development, etc. all the necessary components that classify games as RPG's.

This has none of that. There are no towns to mingle with the folks, lame character development, I began hating that characters, since I knew nothing about them! The music was less than par, the graphics I would let slide, except that there is so little holding the game together.

Battle...now that's another story. I've played strategy, this was designed simply for children, or beginner RPG'ers. The battle system is simplistic, there is no real innovation to it.

I cannot blame this much on Atlus, since the N64 cartridges have a limited amount of space, but still, I expected more.

Beginner RPG'ers will eat this up no doubt, but the more experienced gamers will not be impressed. I say rather that it is a gateway to great RPG's.

OK, for an ogre battle

I rented this game because I THOUGHT it was a RPG game.But as it turned out, this is pretty much a divide and conqer game.The characters have no backgrounds, no storline, and no places to explore like RPG.EVEN PAPER MARIO is better than this RPG.I EVEN RECOMMEND YOU BUY PAPER MARIO INSTEAD OF ORGE 64!The only thing that saved this game is of its graphics and nothing more.So unless you like cuoncqer games, I suggest you don't by this so called RPG game!

boooooooooooooorrrrrrrrriiiiingggggggggg

this game kinda stinks.you go talk to this old dude who gives you these long drawn out battle plans.then you watch these long drawn out cut scenes.then you go into these map/worlds.when you get near an enemy,you fight.well,sort of.the computer does everything.theres a lot of complicated planning involved.theres no clear cut way to figure out anything.its a real pain in the hiney.whats more is i dont belive i even saw any ogres.of course im only on like level 2 since the game is totaly screwed.i bought it used and the guy before me only got that far too.no wonder i got this so cheap.this game will use up all of your extra brain space.if you thought out how to beat it.you wouldnt have the brain sense left to eat cheerios.someone would have to run you an iv.youd almost have to be like freakin fixated on its ended.its totaly freakin ridiculous.and then ,as youre being slain by little people with sticks,even though youre sporting a dragon,you are helpless to defend yourself.it sucks.

Too fun but too pricey!!

This game's great fun, it's been sitting in my shopping cart since i played it at a friend's house, but it seems like no one's updating the price to a lower convenient price like the regular stores do, so i'll wait a few more months for it to go down before buying one from a retail store. If you're impatient though, BUY THIS GAME! it rocks like it's predecessor!

Good, at first...

At first I wasn't too happy when I got this game... But when I played it, I was thrilled. After I beat the game in a week, I played it trying to get as many characters as possible, but i liked a computer game better. This game doesn't have the best graphics because it's animated. There are lots of characters. If you buy this game you will be entertained for a little while.

This game is good but some bad things

Okay lets start from the top, i rented this from blockbuster the first day they got it and right then i was a dicted to the game. It has a great plot and you mostly create your own characters. In the bigging of the game you have to answer 6 questions to chose your class (that means what you are like a warrior a witch a wizard a droll master and etc.).

Then the bad things are, that the grafics are pretty good but not the best on the market. The music is poor and the sound efics some times crakels. But that really all the bad things about it.

Every thing else is great, so if you are a RPG or a statgey fan you should get this.

What else can one say about this masterpiece from Atlus but "WOW". This epic title involves you commanding an army of fighters that can class change to be magic or hand to hand, depending on how you control them in battle. OB uses a unique system of alignment that lets you control your characters' destiny, so knights turn into paladins if they become lawful enough, and if they are chaotic, fighters will become wizards.

The graphics are perfect for the way the game is set up. You command the troops from an overhead view of the map, and the troops move from place to place, liberating strongholds and fighting enemy troops. The cut scenes are great and fill the plot line in for you. Depending on the choices you make during the game, you can end up with any of the many endings.

OB has an intricate plot, and will keep you rivited to your seat, as for the menu icons and commands, they are not hard to read, or understand at all, and there are enough sound effects to keep the action interesting, as for the music, it fits perfectly and has ben "64'd" from the original OB's, and sounds great. Basically, OB64 is probably the best game out for the Nintendo system right now. If you like rpg's, action games, or just want a fun game to play and keep you busy, than OB64 is a great choice.
