10 Video Games That Let You Battle Death Itself!

7. Death The Grim Reaper - Dante's Inferno

When Death itself is the opening boss of a video game, you know you're in for a rough ride, and Dante's journey through hell is indeed anything but a pleasant experience.

Still, before he can even get to the gates of hell he's got to go through the bouncer to the club aka The Grim Reaper, who damns Dante's soul for the heinous actions he committed during his life. Side note, love his face when he's tries to convince The Grim Reaper that all the killing was OK because "The Bishop said so".

Battling this fearsome foe is quite the spectacle, taking place on a collapsing chunk of Earth as it plummets through reality itself. The Reaper will attack with huge spectral blasts and massive sweeps of its scythe. However, things take a massive turn when, after weakening bone boy here, Dante rips its scythe from its cold dead hands, and uses it to cleave The Grim Reaper in two!

What makes this all the more satisfying is hearing the Harbinger of death itself cry out for mercy before being split down the middle. Gruesome fun indeed.
