10 Video Games With The Most Epic Boss Line-Ups Of All Time

3. ​Metal Gear Solid

The original Metal Gear Solid was a crucial moment in video game history, as the medium was elevated to new cinematic heights. The characters were engaging, the music was pitch-perfect, and the bosses have been topped by few other games to this day, let alone anything else in the franchise.

Each encounter with a member of the FOXHOUND unit offered a unique challenge - from that tense but relatively gentle first battle with Revolver Ocelot, as you attempt to dodge around his ricocheting bullets, to the tragic snowfield showdown with Sniper Wolf. Not to mention that great melee scuffle with Grey Fox and the grand finale against Metal Gear Rex and Liquid.

Most memorable of all, of course, was Psycho Mantis, where the battle obliterated the fourth wall as we were forced to put our controllers in the second port to stop him reading our minds. That alone could've landed Metal Gear Solid on this list.

All the bosses were supplemented by that fantastic music track that just never grows old. Click play below, and let the good memories wash over you...
