So today there aren't many games with a "team" of bad guys. What are some games that you guys think have the best team of bad guys, you know like how mgs did. It doesn't have to be alot like they did. But like, more than two, like Kingdom Hearts had a good team also.

I enjoyed the Lords of Shadow in, well, Lords of Shadow. They were really memorable and (tangent) that game's journey was really great and overlooked by a lot of gamers I think. I'm very interested to see where its going to go from here and I hope there's going to be groups of enemies once again, not like several bosses is foreign to Castlevania.

I'm also going to have to say The Corrupted from Prince of Persia 2008. There wasn't a whole lot of them, unless you kept talking to Elika and got a little more on each of them. They had a lot of mystery, and I thought taking them down one by one with Elika was pretty memorable.

Apparently keeping the third person action game theme going I'm also saying God of War III's Olympians were pretty great. Zeus was disappointing, but the rest were pretty great and worked well as a group of antagonists against Kratos. I actually respected Santa Monica for not making them all giant bosses, such as Hermes being a race, and Helios getting owned by that random Titan. Made the story flow, imo.

Using the term really loosely, the colossus from Shadow of the Colossus. The entire game was just a string of epic boss fights! Going old school I would have to mention the 8 master robots in Mega Man 2. Though again that's kind of loose.

I honestly can't think of one "villain team" from any game I've played this entire generation. Seems most games in recent years focus on one primary villain to drive that aspect of the games plot.

Do the Metal Gear Solid games count? You could sorta count Batman AA, but some of the other villains in that are kinda just shabby bosses. Arkham City looks a lot better on that front though.

Agreed. I love the colossi in SOTC, every boss battle was epic. Great game and great concept.

The KOTOR games come to mind. Also the team of Ganondorf and Zant is pretty awesome. (I don't know why, but I love Zant as a villian.) Chrono Trigger had a pretty good set of villians as well.

I wouldn't really count that. Those are just bosses. They aren't really a team as they just appear at the end of every level for you to fight.

No One Lives Forever and its hilarious H.A.R.M. inspired by James Bond's S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

I would like to share my view on Grandia 1. U basicly fight the whole army, from officers trio of females to colonel and general. Who all are important characters from the game and not just some mobs. Don't remember their names though. I think it was pretty bad ass team.

Most of if not all the Megaman games. Mavericks and Robot masters. Okami, Ratchet and Clank and Shadow of the Colossus.

I think sly cooper might count also as the bad guys are usually a group of evil animals.
