10 Video Game Bosses That Totally Sucked

8. Trevelyan - Goldeneye

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6m_40oalyo In many standard fare FPS games, Goldeneye's final boss fight might have been perfectly adequate, but as the bookend for one of the seminal FPS titles in gaming history, it is absolutely not. Given how 006 is built up to be so menacing and fierce throughout the entire game, it's both hilarious and pathetic how he spends the entire fight running from you, as you pump round after round into his head. It's so boring and repetitive (especially on higher difficulties); you kill hordes of Trevelyan's cronies, while he seems to be able to absorb a head-smackingly inane amount of bullets, as though superhuman. Once you finally get to the platform that reflects the iconic moment from the film, all it takes is a few bullets, and he finally falls to his brutal demise, a hilariously gratuitous moment that's nevertheless pretty awesome. In this case, it's clear that Rare watched the final fight of the film, and couldn't come up with a particularly clever or fun way to reflect that in video game form, so we just get stuck with a generic run and gun climax that's among the most boring to end any otherwise awesome game.
