Ranking All Of Metal Gear Solid's Boss Battles From Worst To Best

17. Cyborg Ninja (MGS)

This is one of the hardest fights in the original MGS, but also one of the best. When Snake goes to rescue Otacon, the mysterious Cyborg Ninja shows up for a fight, and to make things even more unsettling, bullets do absolutely nothing against him, so some CQC is required to cause damage. Also, the Ninja can cloak himself at will, so if you didn't pick up the thermal goggles earlier in the game, this one becomes especially infuriating. Even so, it's great fun putting the big guy down with a flurry of punches and kicks, and considering how ridiculously cool the Ninja is, we're glad Snake let him live to fight another day (well, for a little while, anyway). Plus, the boss fight introduces fans to Otacon, so what's not to like?
