Mine were:

1. Crying Wolf
2. Raging Raven

The other two were too easy or something. You essentially don't even fight Screaming Mantis which is kinda goofy to me. Laughing Octopus would come in at #3 because she used octocamo.

Crying Wolf was the best to me because you not only had to beat her, but also the soldiers. The weather effect added a great element too, and her railgun was a better weapon than Octopus's and Mantis's (and came in handy when I could use it).

Raging Raven was hard because she was annoying to focus on...plus she had that damn grenade launcher which gave me some trouble and forced me to start over a couple times.

The boss fights (aside from Vamp and Metal Gear Ray) weren't that great in this game. Crying Wolf was my favourite. I hated the raging raven fight. She was easy enough, but I hated the fact you'd have to wait for her to actually come into the house to get a good hit on her...

I agree. Especially compared to Snake Eater.

The BB Corp fights weren't anything too special for me. Mantis' fight had a nice wow factor, but that faded off after the second playthrough.

I really enjoyed the Wolf fight, i was sitting in a loud surround sound room and listening for footsteps in the snow, brathing and frog chatter while trying to block out wind. while staying downwind :P it posed a challenge and i loved it :) raven was boring, it was just point and shoot. No tactic really. Mantis almost the same just at smaller targets. Octopus was pretty cool the firt time through but 2nd time and after that it was simple and too easy. Vamp bored me too with just point at shoot and the tranq. ZZZZ

I'll just rank the boss fights:

1. Ocelot
2. Ray
3. Wolf
4. Octopus
5. Mantis
6. Raven

The BB battles were ok, definitely above average boss fights, but not up to MGS standards. The Ray and Liquid fights make up for it though :cloud9:

haha yeah it was pretty fun fighting Ray. and we were rewarded with yet another amazing cutscene. I really liked the Ocelot fight too, it had nostalgia, suspense and difficulty. it was really well done with the different fighting styles, health bars and music. That fight was the best as far as gameplay is concerned but overall i still liked the wolf fight it stick in my mind the most. except for when the health bars go away in the ocelot fight :P that was pure brilliance.

How do you rush through the game like that? Why would you want to do that lol?

Completion sake...

I did it once just to see how it is... Wasn't too hard... Took me around 5 to 6 hours to do it all... I am gonna try it on Big Boss extreme now for the Big Boss medal lol.

Lol nice Hisham. I'm still on my first speed run. Haven't been able to play for a long time so I'm still after the Laughing Octopus fight. :(

I say... all the bosses... my favourite from top to bottom...

Ocelot - That was waaay too fun
Screaming Mantis - I loved the battleground and the scenario they threw at you
Laughing Octopus - She was pretty damn intimidating while going for the stun kill, even on just the Hard mode
Crying Wolf - It required attention at least because she was on the move and you didn't always know where she was (if anything I think more taken from The End from MGS3 would've made it even better)
Vamp
Raging Raven

Laughing Octopus was the easy win for the hottest Beauty.

All in all I think the bosses weren't the best in the series by any means. There are great standouts from MGS1, MGS2, and especially MGS3 which I think would take the crown for best boss fights in all the MGS games.

But I had the most fun of all of them in the Ocelot fight in MGS4 lol. It was just too awesome hahaha.

@Hisham - Dude, Raging Raven was soooo easy. It's easy to find her too. Just go to the top and whenever you're feeling you're about to be vulnerable just jump down a floor or two and go back up again for the vantage point.

Sniper makes it easy. Really easy. I had the Mosin Nagant and was completely raping the boss.

Maybe I just found the sweetspot to beat her so fast by chance and that's what made it so easy, not at all frustrating... and frankly boring... to me.

Yes, Raven is easy, but annoying... I hated the fact you had to wait for her to stay still to get a good shot her...
