9. The Pain
Voiced by: Gregg Berger
Dressed like a giant bumblebee, The Pain isn't the most interesting of the Cobras, but he's a fitting introduction to the elite unit of bosses.
8. The Fear
Voiced by: Michael Bell
The Fear uses stealth camo to render himself invisible and poinsoned crossbow bolts to instil fear in his enemies.
7. Ocelot
Voiced by: Josh Keaton
While it's not the best boss battle in the game, it's awesome to fight a younger version of one of Metal Gear Solid's most iconic characters.
6. The Fury
Voiced by: Richard Doyle
The Fury went to space and came back a different man. Now he wears a space suit, uses a jetpack, and sets people on fire with his flamethrower.
5. Colonel Volgin
Voiced by: Josh Keaton
Volgin (AKA Thunderbolt) is incredibly strong. It’s a climactic and testing fight that exemplifies the fearsome character that the Colonel embodies.
4. Shagohod
The Shagohod is not a conventional Metal Gear. It’s a screw-propelled mobile nuclear ballistic missile system. The boss battle comes in two stages, and it's one of the best Metal Gear fights in the series.
3. The Sorrow
Voiced by: David Thomas
Snake's battle against The Sorrow is one of the most profound and haunting in gaming history. It's not a typical boss fight, but it's all the better for it.
2. The Boss
The fight against Snake's mentor is the perfect conclusion to Metal Gear Solid 3. It's a test of everything he's learned and sets up his troubled future as Big Boss.

The tense sniper battle with The End is not just the best boss fight in MGS3, but one of the greatest in gaming history. Perfection.
