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 combining the two?
Over the years, Hideo Kojima has created some of the most intricately crafted boss battles ever experienced in a videogame. They’re 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 ideal bosses in Metal Gear history.
