Best boss fights (spoilers ahead)

Half Life 2 - the Water Hazard sequence. the whole thing is basically a chase sequence with a Hunter-killer chopper shooting at you in your hovercraft and dropping mines everywhere. the sequence has a lot of great moments in it, and it gets really interesting whenever you get the machine gun attached to your hovercraft. another great sequence in video game history with a nice boss fight at the end when you finally get to take out the chopper.

 

Agreed, that was the best section of Half-Life 2, IMHO. That was video game art.

Any of the major champ fights in Fight Night: Round 3 were pretty good. They were nice and challenging, even if they might not be considered bossfights.

 

I liked the bossfights in Fable, even though they were exceedingly easy (Jack of Blades, the Arena scorpion, etc.) But there are mods that can help that out.

 

In Gears of War, the berserker fights were really fun to me. They weren't extremely easy but not impossible, either. They have you on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding and all.

I thought Kreia in K2 was a decent fight. It might not have been the hardest, but the floating lightsaber thing was cool :)

 

How bout the first time you took on Tyson in Punchout? Anyone remember doing that fight for the first time :)

 

I don't know if you want to count MMO's or not, but WoW has some great dungeon boss fights.

The axe guy and the sword guy in Price of Persia 3. You have to figure out what to do as both seem invulnerable at first. Its quite challenging, took me more than 5 attempts I think.

 

Lee in Jade Empire. Extremely easy but the music kicked ass!

 

Irenicus in BG2. He's just such a cool villain.

 

Kangaxx in BG2. He's such a tough adversary.

 

Final level in Hl² where you have to chase Breen.

I had a good think about this and there's a few boss battles I personally think are worthy of mention. Michael Jordan in NBA Street would be the ultimate test, who's better than him? Resident Evil had some good boss battles, how about that knife fight against Krauser? The second Syphon Filter game had a unique boss battle and the endless taunting made it memorable. To be real old school how about the chance to kill the Emperor back in that old Return of the Jedi game? A lot of people say Metal Gear, and I would agree, singling out the Boss as the best (as in The Boss). But perhaps the best one would be Sephiroth. Just the chance to make him pay puts it in the top spot.

Nah, it's a beautiful cutscene but you don't get to actually fight him.

For Final Fantasy bosses, I've never had greater satisfaction than the one I had when fighting Kefka (FFVI). He was a monster!

Mass Effect

The whole damned ending was so bloody epic, I can't even begin to describe it...but, when it comes to the big boss, you can of course choose to fight him.

 

However....:spoiler:

Max your charm or intimidate skills and just convince him to BLOW HIS OWN HEAD OFF...seriously!! I could't frickin' BELIEVE it!! Best boss 'fight' EVAR FTW.

Halo II

 

Just me with two needlers, a banshee, and tons of ammo vrs a bunch of those really big guys. and soem eneemies on ghosts. can't rember the name of em though.

 

that battle was awesome.

 

here's how it went. i had a bnashee and needlers full of ammo.

 

From right in the air i gunned down the big guys with banshee missiles and plasma cannons. Then, the ranged weapon users came after me...

they had ghosts, and banshees. i was over a cliff edge in my banshee, abotu to explode form damage. i jumped out, fired my needlers at a guy in another banshee, he died, i jumped on, nearly fallign off the cliff in the jump, flew around, and blew up the res tof the buys that were on ghosts. then... guys with missile launchers came in, and hit me. i jumped off, cause my manuevering wasn't enoguh to avoid a dozen missiles at once. i landed on an empty ghost, huidden behind a rock, sncuk aroudn the other side, and blew up the missile guys. and then the battle came to the more boring parts when all i did was shoot grunts and jackals.
