1. Metroid Prime 3. Say what you want about the game, it was very entertaining throughout.. but the final boss fight... wow.... that was possibly the worst boss fight ever.

2. Shadow of the colossus. I don't know why, but it was very lackluster compared to the other 15. It was like fighting a building rather than an enemy.. i don't know but I didn't see any struggle what so ever in the last boss fight.

3. Bayonetta. LOVE the entire game, but the last boss fight just wasn't entertaining at all.

4. Starfox adventures. Don't remember the final boss exactly, but i remember it was BAD.

that's all i have for now but i'm pretty sure there's more to come.. so what's yours?

Assassin's Creed 2. All I had to do was grab the guy, punch him 3 times, he'd land on the ground, then grab him again. Rinse and repeat. I laughed pretty hard though! A good rent too, way better than the first.

Uncharted 2 comes to mind. Shooting blue sap was a lot of fun.

[spoiler] Andross. Typical for a Star Fox game, but he was just terrible in Adventures. [/spoiler]

The last half-hour of the game or so felt like the developers just gave up and decided to quickly write in a half-baked ending that ruined an otherwise good self-contained story.

Oh yes, Borderlands had a horrible boss (again, didn't like the game), my friend and I ran through the last few missions to finish the game and we spent two or three hours fighting that boss.

yup that's the one! Thanks :) I remember being awed at how good SFA was ( pretty much was expecting a 4.0 quality game for some reason :?) but i was really surprised... till the last boss fight, god it was so bad :(

Demon's Souls' final boss fight was pathetic, especially compared to some of the great bosses before it.

Batman Arkham Asylum also had a really lame final boss fight, which isn't surprising when you consider most of the boss fights in the game were incredibly disappointing, but it gets extra lame points for basically taking The Joker and turning him into the same Bane-oid boss fight we'd already done three times before that.

And, of course, Uncharted 2. All that intense action and chase scenes leads up to... Running around shooting blue gel while ONE dude with a gun slowly advances on you?

I would have to go with Batman: Arkham Asylum, the game was great but it really fell flat with the boss fights in general and the final boss is perhaps the least entertaining of all.

Uncharted 2. It was an okay fight, but it was the least impressive part of the game.

Gears of War 2. Good lord, that was flat-out terrible. Could you even call that a boss? It's like the developers just ran out of ideas. It was literally a joke. Resident Evil 5. At first, I thought it would be an epic boss battle. I was dead wrong. All you had to do is just fire a few bullets, and run up to him and press a button. That's pretty much it.

Gears 2 was incredibly disappointing. At least in RE5 you get to fight something that lasted for more than 5 seconds. Can you even lose to the final boss on Gears 2?

It wasn't as bad as the boss in Resident Evil 4, but it was close.

How about a shoot out with him and some of his buddies, maybe throw one or two monkey men in there and call it george.. running from him and having to shoot the sap 16 times is not my idea of fun.

I actually liked the last boss fight of RE4. But... now that you mention it... it wasn't anything special either :?
