Say what you will about Brütal Legend's RTS design, but despite its bait-and-switch tactic, the final boss is fantastic. Games are often structured in the same way that Algebra lessons are, and Brütal Legend's final battle serves as a test of everything the player should've learned up to that point. On the hardest difficulty, you must skillfully manage a variety of troops, most if not all of your solo's, and learn to manage them while also taking part in the battle yourself. The second half of the battle doesn't fare as well, but it's still a great set-piece, and a great way to end a game. It also helps that Rob Zombie's "Superbeast" is the first song that plays during the battle.
Runners-Up: Fudo-Myoou (Muramasa: The Demon Blade), Hero 300 (Half-Minute Hero)
