I've been playing a lot of Metal Gear Rising lately, and while it may not be as complex as, say, Devil May Cry 3 or Bayonetta, it's a very solid hack and slash title that deserves some love.
It's very over the top, to the point of ridiculousness at times, but it seems very self aware of of this, which makes it all the more endearing.
One thing this game has managed to nail completely, at least in my opinion, are boss.
Each boss fight I have encountered so far has been intense, made only better by the soundtrack.
in fact, I think the one key element that separates a good boss fight from a mediocre one is the soundtrack :D
My top games when it comes to boss fights, beside MGR, have got to be Viewtiful Joe and Devil May Cry 3.
It's no coincidence that the boss fights in those games were also notoriously difficult at higher levels :D
Here are a few of my favourites boss music tracks/videos.
I love this theme, just the tone for competitive rivals :D
Possibly my favourite, you fight Vergil twice again after this one, but nothing sets the tone of the game quite like this :D
This was also an awesome fight, Raiden is up against a Ray, nothing special, until about 1.03 in the soundtrack, where Raiden catches it's fucking arm and proceeds to run across missiles and shit. Very awesome :D
