5 Disappointingly Easy Bosses in Video Games

There is nothing more annoying than spending hours on a game to be disappointed in the end. After all the time it took to go through the tasks and challenges only to come upon the big boss man or lady and nail them in one swoop, kick, punch or, in some cases, lick. This is a list of the easiest bosses in video game history that will make you want to throw your controller down and scream "What the... That's it?"

1. Doctor Eggman in Sonic the Hedgehog

The most disappointing bad guy of all time from the side-scrolling adventure is Doctor Eggman. You know who he is. That big fat dude was riding around on his.... Well, we are not even sure what to call it. But he was fat and ugly and easy to beat in the Sonic the Hedgehog game created back in 1991. It's certainly not Doctor Eggman's fault he was so easy to beat, it was in his coding. Doctor Eggman was created to be the good guy, but the devs from Sega rooted for the blue critter instead.

2. Gohma in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

After riding on your horse around day and night gathering fragments of some stupid triangle thing, you finally make it to the temple. Once inside, you must battle some arachnid thing called Gohma. This is a classic battle from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Why? Because it resembles David and Goliath’s confrontation, where a mere slingshot saves the day.

3. Bowser in All Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. is one of those games that will forever be a dud. You spend hours going through the world. Or you find the pipes to jump into different levels and you come across Bowser, who is either a crocodile or a dragon, I never could figure it out even to this day. No matter how you face him, 2-D or 3-D, he will always be the same bully in every game and will go down with more fuss than a three-year-old at nap time.

4. Star Fox

What about Star Fox? Yes, that furry fox with his wing commanders backing him up made the list. The game itself was entertaining for a battle fight and all, but the boss? The only reason this was a hard game was the fact that there wasn't the ability to save any progress. If you battle like five systems and die, sure, you can start the mission over, no problem. But if your mom calls you in for dinner or something, you would get seriously... irritated, would be one term to use.

5. Darth Vader in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

The last game to be mentioned is by far the biggest disappointment ever, and I mean ever! You would think a franchise that George Lucas owned would be able to put out a game that would have the Force backing it up. That is, of course, if the Force hasn't yet awakened you certainly can't unleash it. The people behind Star Wars: the Force Unleashed diminished Darth Vader in so many ways. We doubt a dark and sinister man like Vader would tolerate a scrub like Starkiller. Seriously though, what kind of a name is that? Starkiller? Maybe they were reading too many of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic books when making this stellar game. Darth Vader jumped around like a frog in a frying pan, threw a temper tantrum, and then got himself out-Forced. Really? It was too easy and a sad, weak ending to boot. Almost kept me from watching The Force Awakens. Almost.

Well, there you have it. If you want to save yourself a few bucks, we would recommend a game that will, at least, be satisfying in the end. We guess we really shouldn't believe the hype about games. All that these games have in common is the amount of publicity that surrounded them up until the release date. Maybe that is one clue to look out for, big hype to compensate for... never mind.
