5. Jetstream Sam Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
If theres one area Platinum Games succeeds at above and beyond what most developers crank out I should add- its a stylistic, fast-paced, adrenaline fueled boss battle that pits you one on one with the storys primary antagonist. For what my moneys worth, Dante vs. Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 by these talented pros is pound for pound, the most spectacular boss battle created designed around pure gameplay mechanics. Taking Jestream Sam for example, the battle simply takes place in a wide open desert. Sam doesnt call in any goons or follow a pattern either; its strictly you against him with the core gameplay mechanics in mind. And it makes for one intense battle at breakneck speed. Furthermore, Revengeance has one outstanding licensed soundtrack that truly highlights every boss battle and really amps up the energy.
