I love the Metal Gear series. In fact, I have an unhealthy obsession with it.
When thinking about what to write for this feature in honor of the upcoming PlayStation 3 release of Metal Gear Solid 4 (OMG!) I had a lot to mull over. Rev Anthony and Jim Sterling wrote some intelligent dissertations on the underlying themes of the series. Maybe I could dissect the subtle nuances between the series’ character arcs? How about an in-depth look at how the games’ visual metaphors have evolved over the years?
After laughing uncontrollably, I realized: Let me just leave the smart stuff to Rev and Jim. I love making lists and I love the bosses in Metal Gear. How about just combine the two? Yay! Amazing!
Over the years, Hideo Kojima has created some of the most stunningly creative boss battles ever experienced in a videogame. They are so well-designed, so original, and so unlike anything ever seen before.
So which ones are the best of the best? It was unbelievably hard to narrow down, but hit the jump for a list of what I think are the ten best bosses in Metal Gear history.
