10 Incredible Bosses In Terrible Video Games
4. Hitman: Absolution - Sanchez
The term "boss fight" is not something synonymous with the Hitman series. There's targets, and there's achieving the best death whilst remaining unseen. Then, there's Hitman: Absolution, and more so, the fight against Sanchez.
Absolution went for a more grindhouse look; some of it stuck, other parts didn't. The story, for example, was just wacky. Killer nuns, sharing a shooting range with Lynch of "Kane and Lynch" fame, and super soldier programs.
In the middle of this: Sanchez. Dexter's bodyguard, the big man looks like Danny Trejo if he ate bulking powder and all of the steroids. Who also wrestles in cage matches.
This fight can be avoided in typical Hitman fashion, but given that there's a challenge attached to it, why not at least experience it?
It plays out mostly as a Quick Time Event, but that's not the awesome part. No, the best bits are watching Agent 47, the nimble assassin, go all lucha libre and tackle the giant. The crowd goes wild, hyping up the moment.
It's like David vs. Goliath, if directed by Robert Rodriguez.
