15 Most Memorable First Boss Encounters In Gaming History

13. Fizzie (Sunset Overdrive)

Sunset Overdrive is an action-packed, over-the-top thrill-ride from start to finish; suitably, the encounters with the game's bosses are frantic, energetic and hugely memorable. Fizzie is the mascot (of sorts) for the game but he actually acts as an antagonist within the game's narrative as he represents Fizzco - the company responsible for the mutant outbreak. A giant Fizzie blimp hangs above Sunset City and the player challenges it on top of a giant radio tower quite early on. Fizzie's foul mouth and giant lazer eyes create an exciting and hilarious event with the precarious nature of the arena adding a ton of tension to the player's movement. In many ways, this fight is a perfect showcase for the world of Sunset Overdrive; it's funny and exhilarating without ever really frustrating. The scale and spectacle of Fizzie's battle simply help cement it as a hugely memorable experience.
