So final bosses in a game usually have an awesome theme that really fits in the battle and makes you feel that it's all come down to this. Your journey ends here.
What are some of your favorite final boss themes from games? I expect to hear some [i] One Winged Angel[/i] and [i]Pokemon Champion [/i] themes!
My personal favorite is Metal Gear Rising. The entire OST was awesome, but the final track was epic and kickass. When the guitar kicks in you know shit's about to go down.

Edited by Trollheim: 3/21/2013 7:11:52 AMI looked up the last boss of MGR and all I can say is "WTF?"... I mean, really? Pretty big fan of the franchise since I've played 1-4, both Acid games, Portable Ops, and Peacewalker. Almost every Metal Gear has a 1v1 fight at the end (Acid 1 and Peacewalker are the only exceptions, both ending with the final Metal Gear battle), but usually they make sense in context. A f'ing US Senator juicing up and taking on a trained cyborg ninja? I think they realized it was somewhat silly with Raiden commenting "You've got to be kidding me" but they still went through with it. The music of that fight is admittedly bad ass but COME ON. And before you tell me that Solidius was the president of the United States, he is a clone of the greatest soldier in the world, an impressive soldier himself, amped up with a muscle suit. He didn't "play college ball".

It may not be fast paced, but by the Eight and One is it atmospheric.

[/url] If that fight at the end of MGS4 was the end of series I would have been so happy. It was just... awesome. Like tears in the corners of my eyes. Then that prologue man. Said it in other threads, for ME PERSONALLY, it felt worse than Starchild.

Edited by Rocketman287: 3/21/2013 3:21:24 AMI'd say a tie between "End Run" from Mass Effect 2, and "Truth and Reconciliation Suite"(The song from Halo: CE that plays during the Warthog run at the end of the game.) I'll never forget doing that for the first time playing Co-op with my brother. AMAZING!!!!!! Those are the only ones I could think of, I probably know of several more that are great, just couldn't think of them.

Not sure if this quite counts, since there's still a boss in the ensuing escape section, but whatever, this song is better than that one.

You can't beat this. Best song in all of video game history.
