    The fight with Ganon in OoT. He wasn't the hardest final boss ever, but it was such an epic battle.

    i loved the kingdom hearts 1 on 1 fight with ansem/riku at the heart keyhole. That was so fast paced, lots of fun.

    Peace out and :rock:

    Hmmm...

    Probably the final fight between Naked Jehuty and Aumaan Anubis in Zone of the Enders 2. Quite epic indeed.

    There are other good ones, of course. The fight against Altima in FFT springs to mind.

    Probably the Ocelot fight in Metal Gear Solid 3.
    • Ocelot is an awesome character, and considering his personality in MGS and MGS2, you have to appreciate that this is his first ever battle using his trademark Cold Single Action Army revolver. You get to witness first-hand the way he first falls in love with the weapon with lines like, "I've never felt a tension like this before... That's so different from simply changing a clip! This reload time is exhilarating!!!"
    • He's darting around and taking cover all over the place, and you have to do the same, both in order to get a shot at him and to avoid getting shot yourself.
    • His cronies offscreen shout encouragement at him and taunt you if you're losing the fight. I guess it's amusing to me because they're so loyal and reverent towards him even though he's barely twenty years old.
    • The rolling tumbleweeds, quick-draw contests, and dramatic spaghetti-western music set the perfect "showdown" atmosphere.

    I always enjoyed the Twinrova battle more than fighting Ganon, but Ganon was definitely a top notch fight.

    The boss battle against Meta-Ridley in Metroid Prime was very much <3

    Geryon from DMC3 was definetly my faveorite fight.

    it was so fast paced, even with Geryon slowing down time to its slowest kept you on your guard... because when Geryon did that, the heathen shot all these projectiles at you (including surrounding you with spears, giving you little time to react before *plays gory sound effect*)

    Possibly the K.Rool fight in Diddy's Kong Quest. Me and a friend of mine were playing coop at some wierd hour in the morning when we reached him. We were both tired, and discovered we could usually only beat certain sections of him each, so the match actually worked in coop with one of us beating a section, tagging or dieing and swapping back and forth.

    There have been some pretty cool boss fights in the Spider-Man games. Goblin in the first PS2 game was fun, as was the big robot thing. Ock was good in the second. Then theres the extra combinations of bosses (though I didn't like Calypso). Before then there were some pretty fun bosses in the PS1 games. I played a Mega-Drive game as well where near the end you were fighting four bosses at once, I can't remember who, but it was pretty tricky .

    Back when I first played FFVII the bosses in that were fantastic, espescially with the music. For a beginner the difficulty levels were great, it required planning to win. There were loads of great fights in there, from the very first (if you don't know about it's tail), through Demon Gate, Schizo, WEAPONS, Sephiroth, with various other ones thrown in there as well.

    I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.

    I always liked fighting the Ninja in Metal Gear Solid one, but i'm not really sure why. The End in MGS3 is mine though, it's such a cool fight, just battling it out with this sniper dude, the lack of music and huge areas just make it so atmospheric, it's great.
