A lot of people gripe about the last boss, but I don't think Epic was going for your typical "beat the last boss win the game" cliche. The last level of the game was a Hollywood style rollercoaster ride. The momentum just kept building and building. And through the whole game, I was thinking "when do I get to use the Hammer of Dawn?".
A tough last boss would have killed the momentum. Like MGS3 (and four!), the final stretch of the game was just a huge thrill ride. When the Hammer finally fell, I thought "fucking awesome". I'm glad things went the way they did. It was an exciting end to an exciting ride.
