I can't believe I'm mentioning World of Warcraft in a positive light in two consecutive posts, but its bosses pretty much beat the snot out of anything from any other game.

Ragnaros? **** yeah! Blackwing Lair had a bunch of crazyass fights, and C'thun! Oh my god, C'thun! That shit was mother****ing epic, god damn. Huge eyeball that shoot frickin' laser beams everywhere, tentacles everywhere, and he EATS YOU. And yes, all of these guys took FORTY coordinated people to bring down, back when WoW was a party and not a job (hey I get one jab).

Raids in vanilla WoW were dayfilling events, especially fucking AQ40. Raids today are a lot less demanding time-wise.

My vote goes to Ragnaros. Not all that interesting of a fight, actually, just a really cool boss.

BY FIRE BE PURGED!
 
Elite Four and Uranus Boss off Rez. I haven't beaten Uranus yet, but it says something about a boss when it repeatedly creams you and you enjoy every moment of it.

Haha, I remember I was carrying a rocket launcher at the time he showed up to fight and as he was running to me I was surprised and shot at him, killing him, before he had the chance to run up to me.

Then I though "oh wait, he probably had something to say" and loaded the game.

Crash - N-gin

Always enjoyed his fights best for some reason, in Crash 2 and 3 anyway

I prefer the battle in Cortex Strikes Back to Warped. The apple-lobbing looks ridiculous, and it's more-or-less the same case of hammering the button and hoping you hit the vulnerable slots, but it's much more entertaining.

Ghadius from Klonoa

I'd go with that, and so too would I argue that it should have closed the game. The boss that followed was mundane and way too fatiguing given what preceded it. Klonoa is probably one of my favourite games of ALL. TIME. though.
 
I think I'll also cover some RPGs I use to go through alot.

The bosses in Diablo never really impressed me, since most of them were really just reused models of already existing monsters but with a different color. Diablo himself was just so cheap and had a rather dull attack. The Skeleton king was the only cool boss that I liked, and his ability to respawn skeletons helped for me to gain a few extra levels. I did like the bosses in Hellfire, the "Unofficial" expansion for Diablo. Especially Nakrull, definitely an inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft.

The bosses in Diablo 2 were much better, IMHO. They had their own models, many of them looked very impressive, and most were a real challenge. My favorite has to be, without a surprise, Daiblo himself. They did a great job really making him fell very menacing and powerful, and yet not real cheap.

Baldur's Gate 2, this game was a great little RPG and I loved it but one of my complaints was that it lacked some good bosses. The Dragons and Liches were a great challenge, though. Even though many of them were unnecessary to defeat I still loved the challenge of taking those bastards down. Especially the Arch Lich, arguably the hardest boss in the entire game, including Throne of Bhaal. And speaking of that expansion, at least this one had some memorable bosses with epic music. The fight against the other children of Bhaal was a great and epic feel.

Neverwinter Nights also didn't have many memorable bosses to take on. Again, fighting the dragons were great. The boss battles in Shadows of Undrentide (the first expansion for Neverwinter Nights) were ok, but nothing spectacular. Hordes of the Underdark, the second expansion, had some spectacular boss battles. I was especially surprised that you could go toe to toe against the lord of the 8th Layer of Hell.
 
I think I have to buy a wii now lol. Too bad they butchered the English versions voices.
 
Big lack of Solo Wing Pixy in here.

One of the greatest moments I've had in gaming.

Jousting with fighter jets while jamming out to spanish guitar stays with you.
 
Okay what other boss read your memory card and made you switch the controller ports? One of the most clever boss fights ever.

I can tell you what boss I hate. The last boss of Assassin's Creed 2.
 
I don't even remember what that boss was. I do not recall it being too difficult though.
 
It was the Pope.

It was ten minutes of hitting him and having him fall down/counter and waiting for him to get up again and then hitting him.

It wasn't hard but just monotonous.
 
On a side note, **** the last boss in Beyond Good and Evil. You heard me Samon! That boss was awful.

It wasn't that it was hard, it's just that it was so... anticlimactic.
