Ogre is only a graphics rendering engine. It will only handle displaying (very sexy) graphics onscreen. To make a complete game, you have to use some external libraries for things like physics and networking. Check out this wiki page for some examples of libraries to use.

You're right. Ogre (Object-oriented graphics engine) is, as the name subtly hints, a graphics engine. ;)
To make a game, you'll probably need a sound library too. For online games, a network library and depending on the complexity (let me guess, MMORPG ;) ) some other libs too, if you don't want to code everything yourself.

I'm just too fool to forget that OGRE is the short for "Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine".
