| Veknoid_Outcast said: This thread is actually good timing for me. I just beat Uncharted 3 last night, and the final boss fight was underwhelming, to say the least. But, like PullusPardus says, you need to look in the right places. The boss battles in Zelda games and the Souls series are routinely great. Koloktos in Skyward Sword, released only four years ago, is one of the best boss battles I've ever played. Darksiders, Bayonetta, God of War, Arkham, and Donkey Kong Country also boast some excellent boss battles. |
Darksiders? Eh. One of the bosses kinda reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus, which is awesome, but other than that... Meh. The final boss is especially anti-climatic/lackluster. And Arkham CITY has great bosses. Asylum not so much (though I really enjoy Killer Croc, just because of how tense it is)
Now God of War, that's where you go for "epic bosses". GoW3's first boss is better than some game's final bosses, it's insane.
