is NOT an example of a good final boss, or even a BOSS for that matter. What the hell IS this thing!? That's EXACTLY what I thought when I got through Sonic Adventure 2, which was a pretty cool game UP until that point.
I can safely tell you Tom, that had you been paying attention to the numerous pictures of "Project SHADOW" that didn't actually LOOK like Shadow the Hedgehog in SA2/SA2B (Yes the B makes a difference Battle is CASTLY superior to SA2) You'd know Shadow wasn't going to be the last boss. While I agree a giant Lizard isn't my idea of boss, listening to Live and Learn swapping between two Super Saiyanhogs, with a timer that can very well run out if you fuck up enough, hurtling into the stratosphere all at the same time? That scenario pretty much makes up for any second guessing that might have occurred in my mind about boss design. Plus Giant Water monsters? Giant Fire Monsters? Giant Eggs? Laser Beam Hallways? Ridiculous, over the top, and non-sensical has been Sonic's prerogative since day 1.
