Most Unique/Interesting Boss Battle

[Wheepop]

What boss battle in any game stood out as unique, interesting, or challenging in a refreshing way to you?
Personally, I thought the battle with Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid was a simple, but frustrating twist. I only found out to use a controller in the second port after picking up the wrong controller off the floor.

Hmm, either the battle against Gray Fox in MGS, or the battle against The End in MGS3.

Almost every boss in shadow of the colossus.

Edit: Ah, fuck you.

Metal Gear Solid Bosses were really unique. there was always some twist.

The Screaming Octopus in MGS4. Never played any of the other MGS's.

You mean Laughing Octopus? I think that was her name. Lol, Giant Metal Gear Mk. II. Unless you mean Screaming MANTIS, who was like Psycho Mantis to some extent. With the game flipping out and pretending to reset.

The B&B boss fights in MGS4.

Best one of the four boss fights would be Raging Raven's, IMO.

Robert De Sable in Assassin's Creed.

Ganondorf in TP.

 

[Square Ninja]

Psycho Mantis.

Laughing Octopus from MGS4. I liked her cheap camouflaging skills and her random screaming and breaking into the place from the outside.

Not terribly interesting compared to some of the other Metal Gear fights. You just can't rely solely on your radar.

For me it was interesting running around a place with different looking rooms instead of climbing stairs, hiding below a truck and running around a big space.

Interesting, but it's no Crying Wolf.

Man, I loved the little sniper fight in MGS3, I think that was my favorite boss fight. Uh, other than that...let's see. And Hanekoma (sp?) the ultimate boss from The World Ends With You, only because I played him on ultimate and it made me want to take my DS stylus and pick my eyes out with it.

 

[Gold Fortune]

The boss battle with Yu Yevon in Final Fantasy X.

I thought the battle with that rolling boulder thing in Majora's Mask was weird.
But fun.

Any SotC boss, and most Metal Gear Solid bosses. My fave was probably Vulcan Raven in MGS1, The Joy/ Big Boss in MGS3, and Psycho Mantis in MGS1. I also liked the Fatman boss battle in MGS2 and The End in MGS3. Haven't played MGS4 yet.

IKR? I found it quite easy after awhile... even metal gear was easy after the first few tries for me and the gameplay was really difficult in my opinion...
