Did you play Halo 3? That takes the cake for me. That was worse than any boss fight I've had in a long time and I'm still trying to think of a worse boss I've had to play than that, but out of over hundreds of games I've played, that was definitely the lamest.

Was Guilty Spark the boss? If so, that is the worse excuse for a boss fight ever.

Yep. Which is why you really can't compare Halo 2's final boss to Halo 3. Not only is Halo 3 the worst final boss in the Halo series but without a doubt one of the worst final bosses of all time.

I do agree with Demon's Soul's having a very disappointing final boss. All the other bosses in the game get continiously harder and you really think that the final boss is gonna be harder than anything you fought before and instead they just give you a turd.

The guy that said Killzone 2, seriously? Try beating it on veteran or elite, its one of the hardest bosses I've faced this gen. The entire level is balls to the wall difficult.

I forgot about Nuts & Bolts. It was alright, but THAT was THE Final Battle that I've been waiting for almost a decade?! For god's sake, it took me just over I MINUTE & 20 SECONDS to defeat Grunty! I'm sorry, but Rare had royally screwed up in that regard.

I'm surprised no one said Final Fantasy X yet.mo0ksi
I consider Braska's Final Aeon as the real final boss.

Bioshock, it wasn't a good game but it has a horrible boss.

110million

You're more critical of good games then i am. And im a pretty negative SOB.

On topic. I recently finished GeOW2 ... Boy was i dissapointed, especially after the final boss on GeOW.

Yandere has special criteria, a game can not be good if it is 3D, or has more then 8 colours on screen. Fable 2 is my answer.

I do have a criteria, but both of those things aren't apart of it.

Even though I'm not a big fan of bayonetta,I did find the last boss cool (even though Jubileus power was overatedin the game).

On topic,I would go with Mass Effect. There was no bosses in the game,and when they decided to make Saren a boss,hes the easisest enemy to kill in the entire game.Thats one thing i hope Bioware changes in Mass Effect 2,(3 days for it :D)

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

Demon's Souls did have a pretty bad final boss fight. I mean, I don't think it even should be classified as a boss fight. I remember when I first played the game, I was all amped up and ready for a good fight, especially after finishing the epic battle with False King; but when I actually got to it, I ended up just standing in the same spot the entire time while shooting soul arrows at it until it died. :P Oh well, that didn't really bother me though cause I thought Demon's Souls was amazing nonetheless, and the best game of 2009 and one of my favorite games this generation.

that's because FFX was epic all around, from start to end.

Nah, not really. Penance was THE boss fight but anything other in that game was a utter joke.

meh to each his own I guess. The voice acting was cheesy, the story of "teh save teh world!!!" is overdone, but everything else was perfect for me. It was pure epicness.

Although I loved both games Uncharted 1 and 2 didn't test you much with the final bosses. Don't think I died once on my first try on either if them.

FFX's final boss was a huge joke. Legend of Mana's final boss, as much as I love the game, was disappointing as well. I will also say FF7's REAL final boss was a joke too, because the boss before him was just epic. Kingdom Hearts' 2 final boss was just a mishmash of preordained button presses, but the means of getting to him was epic, however.

Uncharted 2 was very disappointing. Like someone said about it being difficult due to it having no fantasy. So if you're listening ND, please oh please can you make a platforming/puzzle boss rather than a boring run round in circles shooting blue kinda boss

Lemme think. . .

Uncharted 2: Fantastic game, one of the best I've ever played. However, the final boss was a massive let down. It was a decent fight, but it felt like they couldn't actually come up with an idea for the final boss. The scene afterwords with the bridge though. That made up for it in my opinion. Also, it's better than Uncharted 1's final boss. . .

Uncharted: This guy was a douche. There's nothing else to say about it. You kill his henchmen and continue to the next part of the ship. The bad part is, you can not kill him before the last scene, which led to some seriously unnecessary deaths. Also, he has a shotgun, with a lazer attached. Really? And furthermore, that said lazer will be trained on your head, even when you're behind cover and moving. This guy was the ultimate aimbot and deserved his quicktime event death. /rant

Gears of War 2: Played through the game with a friend on co-op at his house. Got to the final scene. Expected something awesome. Got the biggest joke of a boss the world's ever seen. I can't even begin to describe how dumb it was.

Assassin's Creed 2: If I remember correctly, I think you fight him three times. The first is well thought out and brought characters together in a massive duel. The second was interesting, in the way it was implemented. The last is a joke and I don't know why the developers felt it made the game better. That fist fight was just bad.

On the other hand games with amazing final bosses include:

Ganondorf in Wind Waker. Awesome sword fight. Just awesome. This game was cartoony, light hearted and had charm. And yet, it's final sword fight to the death is superior in everyway to the grittier Twilight Princess (which was still a good final boss). It also had the best death scene ever.

SPOILERS FOR THE NEXT ONE
Metal Gear Solid 4: If you thought that two old guys fighting at the top of a ship was the dumbest idea ever, you were wrong. Amazingly coreographed. Amazing music. Amazing conclusion. It was too epic for words. Not to mention I beat this at midnight, it added to the excitement :D.

Dude the last boss of Shadow of the colossus was the most epic thing ever. Including the music that went along with it.

When you see the Final Boss to FFXIII you'll be epicly disappointed but the music makes up for it. I choose Fable 2 for having the worst Final Boss battle ever along with the crappy ending that comes after.

How was Ganon from TP disappointing? It was a long and epic 4-part boss fight. Maybe it was kind of easy, but still, that was the absolute best part of Twilight Princess for me.

Assassin's Creed II. That final "boss" was a disgrace. It was so much easier than the fights from even Prince of Persia, and you can't even die in that game.

Batman: Arkham Asylum -- the Joker battle is a little too gimmicky, as are most of the boss battles in this game, actually. It's one of the failures of the title.

I kinda agree with KHII final boss. It wasn't bad, but compare to the last couple previous battles(especially the one before it), it kinda felt weak. And that last button sequence was just horrible.

Dragon Age: Origins....the Archdemon was probably one of the easiest bosses in the game.

UnknownSniper65
This gets my vote too. In fact the whole last portion where you battle your way to the boss was too easy. I didn't need any help from the allies...although I did use the dwarfs because I wanted to see them kick butt.

Gears 2: seriously, all you do is fire hammer of dawn for 2 secs, Berserkers in Gears 1 were harder to kill than that Brumak. That whole last chapter was a joke. It would be fine as a second to last chapter and then go on foot at the end, but no you run around like a god with insta-kill and then fight your transport. Wow, wtf??? Raam eats Brumaks for breakfast

Resistance 2: Daedulus was a joke, but becoming a cloven with the hands of death in an escape was awesome. R2's boss battles were all pretty lame because they telegraphed it with weapon placement

RE5: This had to be the least coherent sequencing for a boss battle ever.

Now if want an awesome boss battle you should go play KZ2 especially on Veteran or Elite. Radec and his minions are a pain to take down, but it was totally epic taking down that many Helghast, especially since Rico is useless.

I can't believe I'm saying this but...

Mass Effect, the conversation right before the final boss with Saren was pure bliss though. Very good voice acting. And breaking him free of Sovereign's control and having him kill himself. Was also pretty epic.

I happen to think infamous had one of the best final bosses this gen. I remember starting the fight and getting manhandled, it took me a few tries to get my bearings but once I actually found a ryhthm I enjoyed it throughly.

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.-RocBoys9489-
I agree with you, but all I had to do was hit the attack button as soon as my previous attack hit.
