Hello,

I am looking for similar games to Devil May Cry, which basically consists of long boss fights.I'm hoping the new Prince of Persia might deliver such experience, but I wanted to ask you guys, do you know of any newer (no older than 3 or 4+ years) games that fits in this genre. It doesn't necessarily needs to be same genre, maybe Oblivion (Shattered Isle) or similar RPG might have these aspects as well.

Basically any game with killing stronger opponents that requires tactics. But I DO NOT want WoW'ish style where although bosses needs strategy, fighting consists of mashing few buttons...

Thank you for your thoughts.

EDIT: On PC Smile

Lost Planet has huge bosses, but the fights aren't that long
EDIT: other examples are Tomb Raider Anniversary, Quake 4, Gears of War ...

thanks ixigia and others for tips.

Lost planet looks interesting, I might check it out as it went past me at that time Smile

And about GoW - I thought there are just many enemies but no bosses. I;ll definitely give it a second try Smile

SS2 was incredible fun, but I am somehow forgetting it had such bosses I am talking about . Nevertheless it is indeed an awesome game.

I guess making a thread in PC games section and then even specifically pointing out that he wants only PC games isn't enough for some people. Rolling Eyes

Pretty much any console oldy has boss fights, you can try Super Metroid on the snes emulator, probably the best game for that particular console.
