10 Big Video Game Boss Fights That Were Total Letdowns

By Thomas James Hunt /

2. Batman Arkham Asylum €“ Killer Croc

Arkham Asylum is a brilliant game... you don€™t need me to tell you that. However, there is one fight that really didn€™t live up to the hype. Since the beginning of the game you could see glimpses of Killer Croc, listen to chilling audio files and see what he€™s left in his wake. The problem is when you finally meet the Croc, doing battle with him isn€™t what I€™d call a frantic. It€™s more reminiscent of swatting a rather bothersome fly or pushing away an excitable puppy. Plus, it€™s embarrassingly short €“ there€™s a penis joke in there somewhere€“ and it€™s just not the encounter I hoped for when I saw a giant blood thirsty monster charging at me. I expected at least, a chase scene with Killer Croc smashing down walls in order to reach you or something along those lines. Something, anything that feels heart-racing and stimulating like the other villain€™s sections. But I understand that realism is comics€™ new best friend and the developers probably wanted to get the battle out of the way.
