Binding: Game Cartridge Brand: Atlus Software EAN: 0730865730032 ESRB Age Rating: Teen Platform: Nintendo 64 Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Nintendo 64 gamers have been waiting a long time for a true role-playing game to come along for their system. Now that wait is over. Like a good book, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber will hold your attention until you either fall asleep on the couch or finish that last chapter. Prior adventures in the Ogre series have left gamers wanting more--much more. Very few role-playing games (both then and now) have had such expansive depth. The series has allowed players to tweak every character, create specialized forces, and command them in battles through three different story lines. Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber carries forth this formula in both creating and commanding your forces, not to mention choosing from multiple endings. The object is to face ogres, defeat them, and bring peace to the Netherworld. Each mission has a winning condition, which entails capturing an enemy position. A briefing before each mission supplies you with objectives and a map. Unfortunately, not everything is happy in Ogre land. The music and sound effects have a lot in common with older SNES titles, which is to say they're not quite up to snuff. Graphically, some of the character animations are stiff, and the tiny icons are difficult to see. Apart from those small gripes, patience is your biggest hurdle in this game. Like most RPGs, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is at times tedious. With more than four endings as well as three main paths to make your way through, any attempt to complete this game will greatly test your stamina. Ultimately, this is a masterpiece of sorts that only true RPG fans will be able to enjoy. --Todd Mowatt Pros:

 Rating:  - Excellent strategy game. A top pickOgre Battle is definetly one of my favorite strategy games of all time. Very challenging, tons of secrets to unlock (characters, weapons, etc.), great game concept, and ridiculous amounts of replay value - go ahead and take the path of evil if you want, the game changes to suit your style. That being said, let's take a look at what you're getting yourself into here. This is NOT a quickly paced game. Your button mashing skills are completely worthless here. You will not have to put ...

Because it is so long and has so many complexcities it has some great replay value. Gaining powerful units such as the princess and the dragoon is chalanging and fun, as well as mastering the chaos frame and creating perfect teams. The storyline is complex and includes a corrupt holy empire and demons from the other world, as well as rebels, slaves, love ...

Read More Rating: - Addicting game with one fatal flawI had never been much of a fan of strategy or RPG games, so I didn't really expect to find Ogre Battle 64 much fun. A friend that owns the game also expressed his disappointment when he lent it to me.. He didn't like the little control you have over your troops' attack, nor did he like the traveling that you must do in the overworld. Despite all of these reasons, I figured that I should give Ogre Battle 64 a try. I checked out the tutorial first, and although it was helpful, it was unbelievably boring. ...
