The End

As frustrating as it was.

Oh and the Metal Gear battle in MGS4 was brilliant.

I liked the one in MGS1 where the guy had that huge turret and you had to set C4 everywhere. That was fun. :)

I think I'd have to go with Sniper Wolf, eventhough it was a nightmare when you first encountered her, having to walk back on yourself to get the sniper rifle.

No boss fight can best The Boss.

Vulcan Raven was his name.

Psycho Mantis, Liquid's hand to hand fight, Sniper Wolf Cyborg Ninja(MGS1)
Vamp, Solidus sword fight(MGS2)
The End, The Boss(MGS3)

Really none MGS4.

Overall, a tie between The Boss and Psycho Mantis I'd say.

Really, you didn't like Laughing Octopus or Liquid's hand to hand fight?

Seeing as I liked the previous ones, especially 3 far better than 4 in general, not really.

I agree.  I played through it and it took me hours.  But I didn't cheat with the PS2 system clock, good ole fashioned hard work!  I mean I really was not a fan while doing it, but to this day, it rates in my top 5 boss fights ever!

The Rex vs Ray fight in MGS4 was fucking mindblowing, so that. Some of my other, lesser favorites were Solid Snake vs Psycho Mantis (MGS1), Raiden vs Solidus (MGS2), and Naked Snake vs The Boss (MGS3)

Rex/Ray fight, also the Vulcan Raven fight because it scared the shit out of me every time.

The End is probably my favourite boss fight in any game, just since it completely goes against the concept of a traditional boss battle. The slow pace, huge area to fight in, and all the different tactics you could use just blew me away.

Pretty much in agreement with this.

Rex/Ray fight was awesome too.

Psycho Mantis has to be the best boss battle in video game history. It may seem just slightly interesting now, but at the time, it was a very big deal.

Hmm thats a hard question to answer, there are so many awesome fights.  I remember vulcan raven scaring the hell out of me when he started running around.  Cyborg ninja was badass.  The End was epic, most unique fight ever. The Boss fight , holy crap artistic perfection.  The Ocelot fight at the end of MGS4 probably is my favorite though, just because by that time you prett much know all the backstory and what the fight means, and then it ends with  the revelation that there never was a REAL liquid Ocelot.
Edit: but then again, the metal gear fight in 4 was pretty friggin sweet as well.

I don't understand how the end took anyone "hours"? I mean I didn't cheat or anything either and I beat it in like 20 minutes. Still was epic though.

The final encounter with Solidus at the end of MGS2 was amazing. Definitely my favourite by far.

Probably the End or the Liquid/Snake fight in MGS4.  The fight with the Boss was pretty awesome because of where you fight, and because of Snake Eater playing in the background at the 5ish minute mark, but the fight itself didn't really do justice to how accomplished of fighters they were.  All the CQC cutscene battles between them that occurred earlier in the game just ended up overshadowing their final fight.

Laughing Octopus was creepy, guess 'cause it was the first but it was outstanding!
